Lobbing accusations of racism at the competition used to be a relatively rare campaign occurrence.
Former President Donald Trump is photographed in 1989, the same year he gave the CNN interview clipped in a new Biden campaign attack ad. | APPresident Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump’s campaigns are attempting to court Black voters by accusing each other of being racist.
The Trump campaign quickly countered, firing off a statement reminding voters of “Joe Biden’s history of racist remarks,” noting that he was the driving force behind the 1994 crime bill, which led to a sharp uptick of sentences and incarceration rates of Black people. But Trump has invited these charges before, by pushing policies like a Muslim ban and disparaging judges overseeing cases involving them by pointing to their ethnicity and heritage. Biden faced blowback in the 2020 Democratic primary for his past work with segregationist senators and his efforts around that crime bill, though charges of overt racism were not leveled by his Democratic opponents.
