Smitten black girl rejected by Biden who instead stopped to take selfies with old angry white women. Not only did Biden shun the black girl, not once, but twice, and one of the old white hags that Biden favored cursed her for holding a sign. Look at the evil in that woman’s face. It gets worse. The black girl was pulled from the back row and placed up front where cameras could see her. She was nothing more than a political stunt for Biden to gain appeal with black voters, and he ignored her.
