Biden Spreads More Trump Lies At NAACP Event Speaking About George Floyd
Joe Biden insisted in an interview with NBC on Monday that he does not engage in the type of incendiary rhetoric that could cause hate across society.
"How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real? When a president says things like he says. Do you just not say anything, because it may incite somebody," Biden said. "Look, I, I've, I have not engaged in that rhetoric. My, my, my opponent has engaged in that rhetoric," Biden told Lester Holt.
Biden then ventured to spread the "very fine people" and "bloodbath" hoaxes, both of which are hateful and officially debunked.
On Tuesday, Biden spoke at the NAACP National Convention in Las Vegas and spread more vile lies about Donald Trump. Notably, he told black attendees that the former president called for the National Guard to go after them for "peacefully protesting" the death of George Floyd.
The message: Trump wanted to harm you for exercising your right to protest.
The reality: Trump wanted to deploy military force because BLM rioters were burning buildings, smashing windows, threatening civilians, and disobeying police officers. The riots reportedly caused 19 deaths in the first 14 days.
We certainly don't expect Biden to stop campaigning against Trump following the assassination attempt. The election is 111 days away. Both campaigns must go on.
However, the fact that he's still spewing such repugnant lies and propaganda is wholly irresponsible.
Notice how Biden rarely checks Trump on policy. Instead, he repeats debunked hoaxes, calls Trump a "threat to democracy," and says Trump is the first president since Herbert Hoover to lose more jobs than he created. The latter, of course, is a byproduct of Covid lockdowns.
And, of course, the president continues to say the name George Floyd – not Laken Riley or Corey Comperatore.
As we predicted in a column Monday, the Democrats and media will not turn down the temperature post-assassination attempt. Trying to smear Donald Trump is their religion. The American Left hates Donald Trump more than it loves America.
