While MSNBC covered Biden's mea culpa addressing his racially charged remarks on Friday morning, its biggest stars continued their blackout of coverage on the network's most-watched shows.

FOLLOWING BIDEN'S MEA CULPA, CNN, MSNBC DEFEND FORMER VP AFTER VIRTUALLY IGNORING LATEST GAFFES.

Instead, Cuomo read Biden's comments -- about what the former vice president viewed as a lack of "diversity" in the African American community -- out loud to discuss with his guest.

Before Friday, there was a virtual blackout of coverage by both MSNBC and CNN since the preview clip from Biden's rocky interview was released Wednesday morning.

In the full interview, broadcast Thursday, Biden contrasted the Black and Latino communities, saying "unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”.

"Now what I mean [by] full diversity [is] unlike the African American community and many other communities, you're from everywhere," Biden explained.

MSNBC completely ignored Biden's "diversity" remarks until Friday morning, which was after Biden "clarified" his remarks on Twitter.

"He's trying to make the point, and maybe he didn't make it articulately as he would have liked, [but] I believe the point he was trying to make is that most African Americans overwhelmingly support Democrats, and if you go around the country -- you go to Florida, for example, you have the Cuban American population, or you might have a Puerto Rican population that has moved to Florida that has a different view than, let's say, a Latino in Nevada or Arizona," King elaborated

Errin Haines, editor-at-large of the media outlet The 19th, agreed with King, calling Biden's comments "inartful" and accusing Trump of "seizing" on the gaffe in an attempt to make inroads with Black voters
