As keynote speaker at a Human Rights Campaign (HRC) event on Friday, Vice President Joe Biden delighted his audience after reacting to Ben Carson's recent comments on homosexuality being a choice with, "Jesus, God."

On Wednesday, Carson told Chris Cuomo on CNN that homosexuality is "absolutely" a choice and used prison sex between males as evidence. Carson has sinse apologized for his "choice of language."

Biden, a Roman Catholic, called Carson's comments a "ridiculous assertion" and then exclaimed, "Oh God," as he rolled his eyes.

Biden's full statement below:

Eight, 10 years ago -- even two years ago -- homophobic statements would have been, if not embraced, not viewed as having generated any political liability. Look what's happening even in quote, "the other party," today. Seriously, don't misread the political trends in history here. Now, every ridiculous assertion from Dr. Carson on -- I mean, Jesus, God! I mean -- huh, my God! I mean, it's kind of hard to fathom, isn't it? 

Biden was speaking at the HRC event offering federal support to the LGBT community in regards to passing legislation for discrimination protections.
