In prepared remarks for a speech in Iowa Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden plans to link President Donald Trump to the weekend shootings, saying that the President has “aligned himself with the darkest forces in this nation.”
“Trump offers no moral leadership; no interest in unifying the nation, no evidence the presidency has awakened his conscience in the least. Instead we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy of hate, racism and division,” the remarks read, per Politico.
Biden isn’t the only 2020 candidate who’s blamed the upswing of violence, at least in part, on Trump’s rhetoric and normalization of hate.
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), who hails from and used to represent El Paso, where one of the shootings took place, called Trump a “white nationalist” whose words “incite violence.”
There is one big problem with loudly and very publicly linking Trump to white supremacist and racist violence. It may motivate all the people holding those beliefs to rally to the polls in 2020. Which would mean Biden, et al are spurring more than half the populace to rage, and the defense of Trump.
And Biden has aligned himself with corporate america. Granted that tRump is worse, but Biden is not really what we need
Kinda like Biden actually did when he teamed up with his racist segregationist buddies Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms to write crime bills that criminalized and incarcerated vast numbers of brown and black people.
Yeah, it’s never easy. Do we take a chance on riling up the scum or do we try to motivate the Dems and others who are sick and tired of nobody taking a concrete stand and who may stay home because of disgust and hopelessness.
Keep nailing this connection to him everyone. If you do, it will stick. There’s got be be something that will finally put him totally in the gutter.
