WASHINGTON _ Joe Biden was winding down a rambling response to a question about the legacy of slavery in America in Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate when he brought up his record on Venezuela and the question of immigration from the troubled country.
Brushing off a moderator who trying to cut him off, the former vice president talked about his personal experience dealing with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
"By the way, in Venezuela, we should be allowing people to come here from Venezuela," Biden said. "I know Maduro. I've confronted Maduro."
