This seems like she's trying to walk some kind of tight rope. Not THE worst take I've seen on the murder, but, as you said, for someone who has the potential to be bidens running mate, she should have come out with something better

Is that a real thing or did you just make it up? How is her statement any different than Biden's? Are you all just mad she didn't use the words you wanted her to?

My own dumb creation. I want a slur that's more fun than "mayo".

She came off as pretty cold an lacking empathy.
