The former vice president tore into the president in a blistering speech on Wednesday, accusing him of promoting the type of racism that appears to have inspired the suspected mass shooter in El Paso.
Former Vice President Joe Biden tore into President Trump on Wednesday, accusing the commander in chief of promoting white supremacy.
Biden said that at moments when the country has been tested the most, previous U.S. presidents have “stepped up” to lead, but not Trump. “Instead we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy of hate, racism and division,” the 2020 presidential candidate said. “We’re living through a rare moment in this nation’s history, where our president isn’t up to the moment. Where our president lacks the moral authority to lead. Where our president has more in common with George Wallace than George Washington.
“It’s up to 330 million Americans who have to do what our president can’t,” Biden told his audience. “Stand together.”Biden’s remarks about Trump’s moral character came in the wake of a pair of mass shootings that killed 31 people and wounded more than 50 others in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, last weekend. Shortly before the El Paso massacre, the shooter posted a so-called manifesto online that mimicked some of Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric.
