So I looked into where this was from. Here's a link to his full speech, with the offending statement occurring shortly after the 9 minute mark.
It seems this was a gaffe where Joe was quoting someone (implying Trump or someone in his administration said it) for his first sentence, then repeated "end of quote" to his opinionated second sentence. Basically, they were performing a manipulation to make idiots think Trump said things he hasn't ever said, but because Joe is addled, he fucked up and repeated end of quote on his opinionated half.
I could delve into the rest of his speech, but I'd rather not waste my time listening and transcribing 40 minute of bullshit for posterity.
