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."

When Democrats don’t have valid debate arguments they call names.

Trump was just asked about this in his presser.

He said “I have done more for black Americans than any President since Abraham Lincoln”, dropped the mike and left.

Classic.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. raised eyebrows on Thursday during a speech in Iowa when he said that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” an apparent gaffe for a Democratic presidential candidate whose record on race has come under intense scrutiny during the primary.

The presumptive nominee of a major political party actually calling his opponent (in this case the President) a RACIST sets a new low standard for political discourse.

The entire country should be outraged at Biden’s comment.

It’s truly unforgivable, politically and otherwise.

And he’ll get away with it. They’re in a parallel universe where whatever they accuse us of doing, they’re doing in spades (oop, was that racist?)

Obama was far more racist than any, even Wilson.

Wait! I thought Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson were racist, according to the DNC memo.

Joe, you are too slow. Catch up, man.

Biden will beat himself. With stupid statements like this.

You incorrectly assume the press will accurately report on his stupid statements.

By current standards most of the Presidents could be called racists. At least 9 Presidents owned slaves at some point in their lives and 2 more were sons of slaveowners.

I seem to recall a President who actually locked up American citizens based on their national origin/race. Over 125,000 of them. Ole Joe was actually alive when it was happening. I believe there’s a memorial to the man in D.C. His portrait is on the dime. Ring any bells, Joe?

> Woodrow Wilson?? <

Since Reconstruction federal offices had been desegregated. Blacks worked next to whites. Guess who ordered them segregated again? Hint: It was a Democrat with the initials WW.

Somebody please send this link to Biden. Wait. Why bother? Biden probably doesn’t know who Wilson is.

Kinda creepy coming from a candidate running for the party of slavery, Jim Crow & affirmative action.
But then again without ‘race baiting’ the democrats little else to offer...
