Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden during a virtual campaign fundraiser on Monday echoed a famous quote made famous by Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong.
“We’ve got to get real economic relief into women’s hands now,” Biden said, while speaking about the impact on women from the coronavirus pandemic and the economic toll, according to a pool report of the fundraiser event.
He then referenced an “old Chinese proverb” about women saying, “women hold up half the sky.”
