Today, Joe Biden was at the University of Connecticut to dedicate its Human Rights Center in honor of Christopher Dodd (ex-senator from Connecticut)
Biden is a long time friend of Dodd’s. Dodd helped Biden choose his running mate. It ended up being Kamala Harir.
This says a lot about Biden that he considered Dodd an intimate friend. Biden himself has a history of inappropriate behavior toward women.
But of all the things to say when you’re trying to claim what a wonderful guy Dodd is, maybe the one thing you shouldn’t try to claim is how well he treats waitresses. However, that’s exactly what Biden did during his remarks — saying that you know people by how they would treat a waiter or a waitress.
WATCH: Joe Biden says his friend Chris Dodd is not someone who “would disrespect a waitress.”

This is a terrible thing to do. Because for Americans with long memories, Dodd isn’t known for his “human rights” acumen. He’s known for the story about the “waitress sandwich” he allegedly made with Sen. Ted Kennedy back in December 1985.
According to a GQ article focused on Ted Kennedy’s boozing and indiscretions, Kennedy and Dodd and their very young blonde dates were at the Brasserie restaurant in D.C., heavily drinking. They went to the toilet. Carla Gaviglio (waitress) entered the room and walked in the direction of the men. Then allegedly, Kennedy, 6’2″ and 225 pounds, picked up the 5’3,” 103 pound waitress and threw her on the dining table, breaking glasses and items. Dodd was already sitting in a seat when Kennedy grabbed her and threw it on top. Kennedy then began to grind on her, placing her between Dodd and him. A second waitress came into the room, and Kennedy began grinding on her. Both waitresses shouted at each other, sending the dishwashers running. This ended the incident. GQ was confirmed by Carla Gaviglio, a waitress. Another waitress confirmed to GQ that Kennedy was on top Gaviglio and Dodd.
If there’s anyone who should be aware that “waitress” would be the wrong word to say, it should be Biden, who served with Dodd for so many years in the Senate.
Biden was a problem even for left-leaning people like Nomiki Konst last year when he selected Dodd as his running mate selection panel.

What it shows again is just how divorced from the truth Biden will get or how far gone he is, if he didn’t even realize what he was saying. Biden even made the remarks today to “Ambassador Kennedy” (that’s Caroline Kennedy, former Obama/Biden Administration ambassador to Japan and niece of Ted Kennedy).
