During a campaign event on Monday in New Hampshire, former Vice President and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden degraded blue collar workers when he said that they need to "learn how to program."
“I am come from a family and an area where it’s coal mining in Scranton,” Biden said to the crowd. “Anybody who can go down 300-3,000 feet in a mine sure as hell can learn to program as well.”
Later on during the speech, Biden bragged about a story about how he went to Detroit and hired numerous women "from the hood" to help with various services around the city.
“They went through a 19-week training program at a community college there, learning how to program,” Biden said, adding that his “liberal friends” didn't think the minority women would be able to program.
“Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program for God’s sake,” Biden continued.
Biden's attacks on the blue collar community is nothing new. In December during a presidential debate, Biden promised to eliminate hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs.

“Vice President Biden, I’d like to ask you, three consecutive American presidents have enjoyed stints of explosive economic growth due to oil and gas production,” debate moderator Tim Alberta said. “As president would you be willing to sacrifice some of that growth, even knowing potentially that it could displace thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of blue collar workers in the interest transitioning to that greener economy?”
“The answer is yes,” Biden replied.
“The answer is yes because the opportunity for those workers is to switch to high paying jobs,” Biden added. “We should, in fact, be making sure right now that every new building built is energy contained, that it doesn’t leak energy, that in fact we should be providing tax credits for people to be able to make their homes turn to solar power. There are all kinds of folks — right here in California, we’re now on the verge of having batteries that are about the size of the top of this podium that you can store energy when in fact the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. We have enormous opportunities.”

Another eye opening comment by Biden came during the same campaign event when he accidentally made the argument to jail his own son Hunter Biden when he claimed that fossil fuel executives should be put in jail.
Biden's son, Hunter Biden, served as an executive on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden made $80,000 a month while serving on the board.
“In order to curb the rate of pollution, Biden explained, we need to hold fossil fuel executives ‘liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where there are underserved neighborhoods,'” Biden said at the event. “When they don’t deliver, Biden offered, ‘put them in jail.'”
According to Biden's statements, his son would face potential jail time.
