It's Biden talking about soldiers dying, but NBC edited it to make it look like he was talking about children and gun violence. See for yourself. They have been forced to apologize. Why anybody watches this garbage channel is beyond me.

MSNBC Forced to Apologize After Egregiously Taking Quotes Out of Context for Gun Control Segment | Pakalert Press

MSNBC host Thomas Roberts on Friday aired a portion of Vice President Joe Biden’s speech given at a plaque dedication remembering the Americans lost in the Benghazi terror attack and falsely claimed he was mourning “children as the victims of gun violence.” Roberts was discussing Biden’s reported plans to make a second push for gun control after losing in the first round.

I have nothing to say because I don't watch that channel, don't have cable. However, let's not forget the love Fox has of editing videos as well.
