NEW YORK - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden labelled Donald Trump on Wednesday the first racist to become US president in remarks his opponent's re-election campaign quickly rebuked.
Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back, calling Biden's comments"an insult to the intelligence of Black voters" given the one-time 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 Nov 3 election contest.
