Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people.
The remarks, at a dinner hosted by a civil rights organisation in a critical swing state, pointed to an intensifying battle between Biden and Trump for African American voters ahead of November’s presidential election.
“Let me ask you,” Biden said during an address to an NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) dinner in Detroit. “What do you think he would have done on January 6 if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol?”
There was a collective gasp and murmur in the cavernous convention centre, where an estimated 5,000 guests had gathered. The president insisted: “No, I’m serious. What do you think? I can only imagine.”
Found the russian troll, guys
They are likely just a useful idiot for Putin.
Fortunately, they are terrible at this.

I am an American in the PNW.
If you think everyone giving you scary truths is a Russian troll, it doesn’t allow you to recognize actual dissent.
And, to clarify things, I’m responding to a post that is scapegoating an ethnic minority that is a required part of Biden’s coalition because they likely won’t vote for the man that could have single handedly stopped the slaughter and torture of their families, but didn’t.
I responded to someone calling those people stupid.
We have reports from American doctors in hospitals in Gaza of an amputation patient that had literal maggots eating the remains of his legs that was left in that situation cause there were no resources or people to help.
We have reports from Israeli whistleblowers of Palestinians prisoners (hostages) regularly having amputations because they’d been zipped tied too long.
And yet, their family members in the US are stupid for not voting for the one man who could stop that but didn’t.
And, somehow, I’m a Russian troll for pointing out how stupid and inhumane blaming Muslim and Palestinian Americans for Biden loss is? Fuck dude, be better.
Green Day wrote an album about you
Remember when ISIS was radicallizing incels and they were literally defecting and traveling to the middle east to join up. Why. Why. Would any shady, corrupt, regime, ever give up that strategy?

You should have said ‘sung’, as it is extremely apparent that you have no reading comprehension skills.
