Claim
On 07/03/2016 in Abu Dhabi Joe Biden gave a speech to members of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, during the speech he referred to the troops as “Stupid Bastards”
Snopes Rating – Mostly False
Our Rating – True
Justification
There is video evidence from multiple sources and angles showing that Joe calls the troops, quote:
Stupid Bastards
Joking or otherwise, it was inappropriate for a Vice President to use this term in a speech as a member of the Government. It is demeaning to all levels of rank in the US Air Force.
