The remark came during Joe Biden's rebuttal to House Republicans' recently-launched “Commitment to America” campaign platform.
President Joe Biden took the crowd by surprise at a Democratic National Committee speech on Friday as he apparently recognized a woman, stopped his speech midway, pointed to her and said, “You gotta say ‘hi’ to me. We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30. But anyway.”

The remark came during Biden's rebuttal to House Republicans' recently-launched “Commitment to America” campaign platform.
“This woman helped me get a lot done,” he said about the woman in the crowd at the headquarters of the National Education Association.
The crowd broke into laughter and cheers at the President’s off-script remark. However, Biden didn’t divulge any further details.
“I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Those of you who know me, no one ever doubts I mean what I say, the problem is I sometimes say all that I mean,” Biden added later.
At the event, Biden slammed Republicans, vowing to veto a Republican ban on abortion if it arrives at his desk. The President celebrated the dip in gas prices and relaunched his attacks on the use of assault weapons.
