Latest Joe Biden Quotes from Interviews

Quotes about:

• Some studies have shown close to 70 percent of men who are in prison have one of two things in common: One, they can't read. And two, they witnessed violence or were victims of violence as a child. You would think that if you had seen your mother get beaten when you were 10 years old, you'd never raise your hand to a woman. Not true. The prospect that you will increases dramatically if you witness violence. So it's so much bigger than just about women. It's about our society. It's about our culture. It's about who the hell we are.

• This attitude of how society views women as chattel - that's the biggest thing to overcome.

Because then you blame yourself.
