“I shouldn’t have said that,” Biden told ABC News’ Robin Roberts when asked about the remark.

“I was trying to make the point, [Trump] is a man that spent his entire career denigrating African Americans, the truth is, there is a fundamental difference between Donald Trump and me on the issue of race across the board,” Biden said. "I’m not gonna try to divide people.”

Back in May, Biden faced significant backlash when he made the remarks during a contentious radio interview with “The Breakfast Club” co-host Charlamagne tha God.

The dustup occurred 17 minutes into the former vice president's interview on the popular radio program when a Biden aide tried to end the interview, prompting the host to charge, “You can’t do that to Black media.”

Biden stressed that his wife had an upcoming engagement, and suggested he would have to go, whether dealing with “White media” or “Black media.”
