Biden calls Trump the first racist US president
The Hill ^ | July 22, 2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 07/22/2020 3:14:53 PM PDT by Stravinsky

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) referred to President Trump as the first "racist" president during a town hall event on Wednesday.

Biden was questioned during the event, which was organized by the Service Employees International Union, about Trump's tendency to refer to COVID-19 as the "China virus" or "Wuhan virus."

"What President Trump has done in his spreading of racism ... the way he deals with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they’re from, is absolutely sickening," Biden said.

"No sitting president has ever done this," Biden said. "Never, never, never. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We've had racists, and they’ve existed. They’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has."

Calling people racist has no meaning other than the caller doesn’t like them and can think of nothing specific with which at the moment to attack them with.

And Klan fan Woodrow Wilson sighs in relief that his white Supremacist sentiments are off the hook. Likewise, fan of the “Teutonic Race” Teddy Roosevelt.

It would be interesting to read Biden’s characterization of the Founding Father of the country, George Washington, who as President signed the original immigration law on March 26, 1790:

POTUS is the only one in WDC, black or white, of whom I am certain is not racist.

LOL he really thinks no racists ever got elected president?

He’s kidding, right?

I am positive.

And we see, that after all, it’s not that huge a deal. Commies try to make it the biggest sin ever, but it’s not, and the presidents largely prove it.

What? Andrew Jackson wasn’t racist? The protesters must not have gotten that memo.

SEIU includes hordes of government workers. No doubt he had a whole bunch of them there, since it beats working.

When the only answer left is to call someone a racist simply means you have run out of substance.

After he came home a gold medal winner in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Jesse Owens was never really acknowledged or congratulated by FDR. Here is a quote from him speaking at a Republican rally in Kansas City in October 1936 “...it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”

Wasn’t Harry Truman a member of the KKK?
