Speaking in Iowa today, Vice President Joe Biden touted the “wisest man in the Orient.” Here’s video:
“You know, on the way back from Mumbai to go meet with President Xi in China, I stopped in Singapore to meet with a guy name Lee Kuan Yew, who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the Orient,” the vice president shouted.
Yew, who celebrated his 91 birthday yesterday, is the former prime minister of Singapore.
