Seems like every time former Vice President Joe Biden opens his mouth, he says something controversial or riles up members of his own party.

And the streak continued this week when the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate said he would consider making a Republican his running mate if he wins the nomination.

Biden did not name any Republicans he had in mind, according to CBS News 2020 campaign reporter Bo Erickson.

Some progressives expressed their outrage about Biden potentially adding a Republican to the Democratic ticket next fall.

“If u still support Biden after he said he would consider a Republican VP, I have no words…this is insanity,” left-wing author Tim Wise tweeted.

“Biden just said he’d consider having a Republican VP. So if heaven forbid something happened to him we’d be stuck with another Republican president,” progressive activist Ryan Knight said.

The 2020 election is still a long ways out, but Biden's gaffes are severely harming his 2020 chances.   

During a recent campaign stop in Iowa, a woman said an interaction with the former vice president made her "really uncomfortable" because he would not stop grabbing her hand.   

Biden came under fire back in September for telling a crowd that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”      

In June, Biden came under fire for praising segregationist Democratic senators and boasted about working with them during his time in the U.S. Senate.  

Since he announced his 2020 run back in April, four women have come forward and accused the former vice president of inappropriately touching them and pulling them in close to rub noses.

All of these comments have been made in the last few months.    

Imagine how many more gaffes and controversial statements Biden will make over the next year.
