Late-night comedians agree Joe Biden had the worst Iowa State Fair of the 2020 Democrats

Late night comedians roast Joe Biden

"Every four years, candidates descend on the Iowa State Fair to narrow the field by clogging their arteries," Stephen Colbert said on Monday's Late Show, documenting some of the fried and breaded things the 2020 Democrats ate. "Some Democratic candidates are trying to differentiate themselves from the pack by releasing plans," he added. "My favorite so far is this one: Bernie Sanders says that if he's elected, he'll reveal whether aliens are real."

But "one candidate had a particularly bad weekend in Iowa," Colbert said: Joe Biden. It started when he "said a whoopsie" at a town hall in Des Moines, suggesting "white kids" are the opposite of "poor kids." Still, when President Trump tried to mock Biden as mentally unfit for saying Democrats believe "truth over facts," Trump "got being wrong wrong," he added. "Also, I believe this is a case of the pot calling the kettle mentally unfit."
