Biden: If Black Americans stormed the Capitol, Trump wouldn’t be ‘talking about pardons’
Politico ^ | 5/29/24 | Myah Ward

Posted on 05/30/2024 1:55:57 AM PDT by Libloather

resident Joe Biden tore into Donald Trump over his record on race on Wednesday, targeting the former president for his past comments before a crowd of Black voters in Philadelphia.

“What would’ve happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don’t think he’d be talking about pardons,” Biden said. “This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd’s murder. It’s the same guy who still calls the ‘Central Park Five’ guilty, even though they were exonerated. He’s that landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin. He’s that guy who won’t say Black lives matter and invokes neo-Nazi, Third Reich terms.”

“We all remember, Trump is the same guy who unleashed the birtherism lie against Barack,” he continued.

Biden’s remarks came as he and Vice President Kamala Harris rallied supporters at Girard College, where they launched an organizing effort to win over Black voters. The campaign is planning an eight-figure investment in engagement with Black student groups, community and faith-based organizations across battleground states in the coming months, and Biden’s comments were among several direct appeals to Black Americans.

“Donald Trump is pandering and peddling lies and stereotypes for your vote so he can win for himself, not for you,” Biden said. “Well Donald Trump, I have a message for you: Not in our house, and not on our watch.”

It wasn’t the first time the president has leveled such attacks against Trump, but Wednesday’s speech marked the most forceful rhetoric he’s used. And it served as a response to efforts by Trump and his allies to appeal to voters in Democratic strongholds, including Atlanta and a heavily Latino and Black neighborhood in the Bronx. In his own campaign events, Trump recently has slammed Biden’s policies...

Anything can be forged, even some microfiched newpaper article from the 1960’s. Very powerful and well funded people are involved with Obama, if they wanted it done, it was done. Obama was just the figurehead anyway.

Obama camp claims smear over Somali turban photograph

Ewen MacAskill in Washington, guardian.com, Mon 25 Feb 2008

Barack Obama’s campaign team accused Hillary Clinton’s beleaguered staff of mounting a dirty tricks operation by circulating a picture of him in African dress, feeding into false claims on US websites that he is a Muslim.

David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, described it as “the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election”. Obama has spent much of the campaign emphasising he is a Christian not a Muslim and did not study at a madrasa.

Aides for Clinton, who is fighting a last-ditch battle to keep her hopes of the White House alive, initially tried to brush off the furore, but later denied having anything to do with the distribution of the picture.

“I just want to make it very clear that we were not aware of it, the campaign didn’t sanction it and don’t know anything about it,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reporters. “None of us have seen the email in question.”

Obama and Clinton next go to the polls in the Texas and Ohio primaries next week. If Clinton loses either, her bid for the Democratic nomination could be over.

The picture showing Obama in a Somali turban during a visit to Kenya in 2006 first appeared on the Drudge Report website yesterday. The site said it was circulated by Clinton’s staffers and quoted one saying: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were [Clinton]?”

The picture was taken when Obama went on a visit to Africa as a senator. Obama, whose father was Kenyan, visited Wajir in Kenya’s north-east, close to the Somali and Ethiopian borders, and was dressed by locals as a Somali elder

The Clinton team hit back at the criticism, saying Obama’s team was trying to distract attention from a foreign policy speech she gave yesterday.

The Obama campaign has repeatedly claimed it has been the target of dirty tricks by Clinton’s team. A senior member of her staff, Bill Shaheen, had to resign last year after raising Obama’s admitted use of marijuana and cocaine as a youth. A junior staffer resigned in December after forwarding an email suggesting Obama is a Muslim.

Plouffe described circulation of the picture as part of “a disturbing pattern”. “It’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties,” he said. His comments suggest that the cordial relationship that existed between Obama and Clinton in last Thursday’s televised debate in Texas was unlikely to carry into tonight’s debate in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Obama team wheeled out Scott Gration, a retired air force general and Obama supporter, who was with the senator in Kenya, to explain the picture. He said: “Senator Obama was given an outfit and as the guest that he was, the great guest, he took this outfit and they encouraged him to try some of it on. It was a thing we all do.”

Maggie Williams, campaign manager for Clinton, played down the significance of the picture.

“If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed,” she said. “Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.”

Actually Hillary raised the birther issue first. Still waiting for Obama’s real birth certificate though. It’s interesting that it was Trump who got Obama to finally produce the forgery.

Trump proved that he is a racist when he said...

“I mean you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean, and a nice-looking guy.”

And again when Trump said that “poor kids are just as smart as white kids”.

And Trump praised a former KKK kleagle as his mentor, and talked about how forced bussing would cause his kids to “grow up in a racial jungle”.

Thank goodness we have Joe Biden as president instead of that racist Trump. All Blacks have a duty to vote for Biden so they can prove that they are really black!

The BC is a fake and so is mine. I was born in 1964 and for over 50 years used my certificate of live birth with wet ink signatures as my “official” BC. It was NEVER questioned.

However, once this Real ID BS came along, my state no longer recognized my “original” BC as valid. So, to get a Real ID I had to pay the state to make me a FAKE BC that met their document standards, document number and state seal. Same data just on a new form.

As for Obozo’s data, we will never know, but it is on a spiffy new “official” form just like mine.

Obama’s mother was an American citizen when he was born, which is what matters to meet the requirement of natural born citizen. Where he was born is immaterial.

Don’t confuse how the left misinterprets the 14th amendment’s citizenship clause for supporting the anchor baby phenomenon, with Article 2’s requirements for President.

I really don’t care about Obama’s birth certificate and all the investigations there of. My only point is that I agree that there was something fishy there & that if powerful well funded people want to forge someones history, it is possible.

Yet the truth is most of them will believe his lies. Won’t bat an eye when he says the whoppers like “peaceful protests”. Because it’s what they WANT to hear and his handlers know that. IMG-9609

I believe he was born in Hawaii, but they created the birth document to hide something. Maybe his father was not listed, or something else.

I am just going by my memory on the Ann’s analysis of the Central Park case, but:

Ann Coulter makes a persuasive case that the Central Park Five were guilty. Some of them held the woman down while one or more raped here. They confessed to the rape and other crimes when only the perps would know what they confessed to. The miscarriage of justice was the lie that Biden is spreading, and the millions they received for wrongly being labeled as “not guilty.”

“Biden tore into Donald Trump”

The only thing that Biden tears into are packages of Depends undergarments.

Biden wants to make it sound like all the BLM protesters were black, so then he can accuse Trump of wanting to teargas protesters because they were black.

In reality, most of the protesters were white. Trump should hit back and call Biden a liar.

In some cities, the rioters were majority black. In others, they were majority white. And, in other places, they were a mixture of people.

But, overall, most of the protesters were white. Not only do I remember the videos, but also that many people were laughing about it.

Babylon Bee made fun of it: https://babylonbee.com/news/riotous-blm-protest-suddenly-realizes-they-dont-have-any-black-people

Studies even found that most of the protesters were white:

Trump wanted to stop the riots because the protesters were destroying neighborhoods, attacking the police, and killing people. Trump should hit back that Biden doesn’t care about the people whose property was destroyed or the people who were murdered.

The Dems were never upset by leftwing rioters in DC.

The image of 0bama’s ‘Birth Certificate’ that was posted on the whitehousedotgov website is NOT an image made by scanning an existing single piece of paper. It was cobbled together from separate images created from several other BCs. I still have my original downloads from the night the image was posted. They are easily broken down into separate and distinct parts. You are sadly mistaken if you claim otherwise. The evidence for it being legitimate is non-existent.

If the Biden campaign is finding it necessary to rally blacks in Phraudedelphia, their internal polls must show them bleeding like a goat at an islamic cookout.

That’s right, I remember that. I also remember Patty Hearst, I got to tour her family’s castle in california. It was opulent beyond description. I remember being chided by a clip haired, leftist looking butch tour guide because I brushed up against a statue. It was a 6 THOUSAND year old piece Randolph Hearst brought from Egypt to be near his pool. she grew up in that climate and when she got old enough joined a communist group and lived in poverty to fight for the Marxist cause. Yep he pardoned this B as well: IMG-9610
