Val Demings, a Democratic representative from Florida among contenders to be Joe Bidens 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 youre for me or Trump, then you aint black.
The remark prompted gleeful tweets from Trump, fierce attacks from supporters of the president and criticism from Bidens own backers.
The vice-president shouldnt have said it, Demings told CNNs 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, lets 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, lets 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.

Dem Congresswoman Calls Violent Riots at Berkeley a Beautiful Sight

Guardian says a Dem attacked Trump on CNN. who next?
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 cant find a case where this woman criticized Obama over his handling of a racially charged issue.
He already had that conversation with real African American leaders, and she wasn’t invited.
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.
“gall and the nerve of President Trump to try to use this in his campaign”
Well at least the POTUS didn’t call him fat.
Her skins not any thicker than this she ain’t gonna last.
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.
Biden took a direct hit from Trump on this matter and Demings confirming it.
“lets 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.
HE HAD TO SAY IT AS THE NEWS CHANNELS CERTAINLY WOULDN’T BE REPORTING OL’ RACIST JOE’S RACIST RANTS.
You all don’t get it. She’s just trying to let Joe know she’s black.
Come on, man!
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.
Sorry, wiggy, but I think you've lost that race.
Coming from the same libtard idiot who also slammed Biden? Really? How quaint.
They aren’t even “lectures”. It is something much worse.
Scoldings? Public floggings? Misrepresentations of history and facts?
Am I getting closer?
