The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has refuted former Vice President Joe Biden's claim that the organization has endorsed each of his political runs.
The NAACP's statement came following a controversial interview Biden did Friday morning with "The Breakfast Club," a popular radio show.
The NAACP does not endorse candidates for political office, as the organization's president and CEO, Derrick Johnson, pointed out in a statement.
"Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a comment about the NAACP's endorsement," Johnson said.
"Persons affiliated with the NAACP at the national, state, and local levels are free to make candidate endorsements in a personal capacity, but they do not reflect support by the NAACP as an organization."
In the NAACP's Federal Legislative Report Card for the 108th Congress, Biden did indeed receive a 100 percent rating from the group.
Seconds before his NAACP comment, Biden appeared to question the blackness of African-American voters who do not support him.
