Joe Biden calls Trump administration 'disaster for human rights' at LGBT event marking start of Pride Month
Former Vice President Joe Biden spoke to about 750 people at the annual Human Rights Campaign Columbus Dinner in Ohio Saturday night where he went after the Trump administration for being a"disaster for human rights" on the first day of LGBT Pride Month.
He criticized the Department of Health and Human Services for imposing new regulations and taking away nondiscrimination provisions for transgender individuals. Biden also hit the Department of Housing and Urban Development for allowing homeless shelters to turn away transgender people. Both policies were announced last week, just days before the president touted
He also said that other countries look at the United States"to set an example on how to treat historically marginalized population." Biden said that in his administration, he would make it clear that the United States would not"stand for any countries and will not cooperate with those countries who engage in this fratricide they’re moving in on."
