Joe Biden says Trump is ‘first’ racist US president
WASHINGTON – Former vice president and democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden has said Donald Trump is the first racist to become a US president in the country’s history.
He responded by saying it was “absolutely sickening” how Trump “deals with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they’re from.” Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back, calling Biden’s comments “an insult to the intelligence of Black voters” given the onetime senator’s past work with segregationist lawmakers. She said Trump “loves all people” and “works hard to empower all Americans.”
The Biden-Trump exchange marks an escalation in what had already been a heated clash on race in the campaign being waged between the two candidates, who are both white, ahead of their November 3 election contest.
