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."

Yes, Trump proved he was a racist when he said this about Obama:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”
Woodrow Wilson resegregated the civil service. He wasn’t a Republican, obviously.
Internal polling must be tragic.
Pierce, Buchanan, Roosevelt, Fillmore, Wilson... Just for starters.
The average college grad will believe Biden, though. Most grads think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
What an idiot! What about Prez Wilson (among others...e.g., LBJ)?
... but Trump “smeared” poor Biden during Trump’s interview with Wallace, says the media.
Well, if you have nothing really creative to put on the table, then you pull out the racist card.
Who’s more stupid, Biden who says stuff like that, or the leftists who’ll believe him?!
One could say Dem icon FDR dealt with Japanese Americans based on their race.
That is all the Democrats know how to behave! Everything is race based.
Why will the Los Angeles police confiscate an American's vehicle, but not that of an illegal alien!?
And while we are at it, if Trump was the first then why isn't Joe and Nancy out there defending statues of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln?!
He murdered his six children, too.
This will be Biden’s “Deplorable” moment.
Despite the fact that past Presidents owned slaves.
funny that he only magically became racist after running as a Republican!
Imagine if Trump had run as a democrat on a democratic platform! He would of gotten 90% of the black vote. It’s all just BS party loyality.
Well, that’s a bald faced lie, even if you actually believed Trump was a racist.
We’ve had racists, and they’ve existed. They’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has.”
