Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he would not be seeking the presidency if it weren’t for the white supremacist violence that occurred in Charlottesville in August 2017 and President Donald Trump’s response to it.
At a fundraiser in Richmond, about an hour east of Charlottesville, Biden said he had been prepared to re-enter private life after forgoing a run against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“I had not planned on running for the presidency,” Biden said. “And I mean that sincerely.”
Biden said his calculation changed “when those folks came out of the fields carrying those torches, chanting the anti-Semitic bile and their veins bulging, accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan, with such ugliness.”
“I never thought I’d see something like that again in my life. That’s when I decided,” Biden said.
Since Trump said there were “very fine people” on both sides of the Charlottesville rally, Biden said, his rhetoric has “gotten worse.”

Hands up; don’t shoot!
Wasn’t that guy actually ONE OF THEM???
He came there to be WITH the antifa morons, but they attacked his car because they didn’t realize he was with them.
Yep, so phony. Well dressed supremist coming from the west coast to charlottsville. It set the stage for the supremacy narrative and tried to make it out that those who supported the monuments were supremist. I agree, staged.
“[W]hen those folks came out of the fields carrying those torches,
chanting the anti-Semitic bile and their veins bulging, accompanied by
the Ku Klux Klan, with such ugliness... My God... I hadn't heard talk
like that since I joked around with the folks at that fund raising picnic
my friend Jimmy Eastland threw for me down in the Missippis Delta.”
So this idiot based his entire campaign on a totally false narrative.
100% false. And is easily proved false.
Amazing.
Biden is the Rat Romney, he’s trying to pretend he’s something he’s not, just as Romney did when he tried to say things that he thought Conservatives would like to hear.
Biden is trying to act like he’s “down with the struggle”, but it just doesn’t work.
Insanity. Stupid. Alzheimers.
He’s been running since the early 80’s, because he has no marketable skills or hobbies.
The Democrats created Charlottesville.
Inasmuch as the “main-SLIME press” KNOWINGLY LIED about the MESS at Charlottesville, WHY would a former VPOTUS believe that FOOLISHNESS??
ONE of the groups that was attacked (without any legitimate reason) by the FAR LEFT THUGS was an ALL-Black women’s choir from a nearby AME church.
