The 76-year-old former vice president used some of his harshest language yet about the Republican president in remarks prepared for delivery at a campaign event in Burlington, Iowa. "In both clear language and in code, this president has fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation,"
Washington - Joe Biden, the frontrunner in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, lashed out at President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying he has"fanned the flames of white supremacy."
"Trump offers no moral leadership; no interest in unifying the nation, no evidence the presidency has awakened his conscience in the least," Biden said. A 21-year-old white man killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, over the weekend in a mass shooting he said was carried out to repel a"Hispanic invasion.""How far is it from Trump's saying this 'is an invasion' to the shooter in El Paso declaring 'his attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas?'" Biden asked."Not far at all."
New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, another 2020 Democratic hopeful, also denounced Trump on Wednesday, in a speech at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, where nine black parishioners were shot dead in 2015 by a white supremacist.
