At the end of the day, she got picked because she's "black" and a woman. It's all identity politics. Joe knew he had an old white problem, just like Hillary had an old white problem.

We already know that Joe loves exploiting identity politics, just look at the old bar video of him talking about Obama before he ran in 2008. Although with all that has happened over the last decade, and all the internet scrubbing by big tech companies, if you haven't seen it already, I'm sure it'd be hard to find these days.
They've scrubbed the internet soo hard, this took FOREVER to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeVkN4UIWiA
