Democratic VP contender Demings slams Trump 'gall' over Biden black voters gaffe
The Guardian ^ | 5/24/20 | Martin Pengelly

Posted on 05/25/2020 1:41:29 AM PDT by Libloather

Val Demings, a Democratic representative from Florida among contenders to be Joe Biden’s presidential running mate, has castigated Donald Trump for having the “gall and nerve” to use a gaffe by Biden as a weapon on the campaign trail.

Biden apologised on Friday, for saying that if African Americans “have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”.

The remark prompted gleeful tweets from Trump, fierce attacks from supporters of the president and criticism from Biden’s own backers.

“The vice-president shouldn’t have said it,” Demings told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

“But I really think the gall and the nerve of President Trump to try to use this in his campaign, he who has since day one done everything in his power, supported by his enablers, to divide this country, particularly along racial lines …

“Look, let’s talk about race because we definitely need to, we see it in housing, we see it in voting rights, we see it in healthcare, we see it in education. Mr President, let’s do have a serious conversation about race in America and how about working for all people that you are supposed to represent, not just the privileged few.”

It was the kind of fiery defence Biden would expect from someone talked about as a possible running mate.

Obama spent 8 years heightening racial divisions in this country. The Henry Louis Gates incident happened fairly early in the Obama Presidency, for example, and was a case where Obama should have kept his mouth shut. And there are plenty of other examples.

I feel quite certain we can’t find a case where this woman criticized Obama over his handling of a racially charged issue.

A democRat would never, ever so much as think about using a Trump gaffe against him on the campaign trail. DemocRats are so upstanding and pure, they would never stoop that low.

Of course not. They are above politics. They have come down from on high to give us a new covenant to live by, and if you oppose that, they will not resort to politics. No. They will simply “find out” something about your past.

(Paraphrased:) “Yeah, the gall, the nerve, of President Trump, to actually enact policies that strongly benefit the black community. He is threatening the Dimocrat stranglehold on the perpetual welfare plantation... we can’t have THAT!”

Typical race hustler. Ignorant racist witch.

This is a backhanded endorsement of Trump's Biden gaffe attack...like flak over a target.

Biden took a direct hit from Trump on this matter and Demings confirming it.

“let’s do have a serious conversation about race in America...”

Yeah. Because we haven’t had that ground into us every day of every year for as long as I can remember.

We will never have a serious conversation about race in this country. Now, on the other hand, we’ve been given many, many “serious” lectures about the subject.

They aren’t even “lectures”. It is something much worse.

Scoldings? Public floggings? Misrepresentations of history and facts?

Am I getting closer?
