2020 Presidential Race

Joe Biden Claims Trump Supporters Believe ‘Mexicans Are Rapists,’ ‘All Muslims Are Bad’

Former Vice President Joe Biden is claiming that some supporters of President Donald Trump back the notion that “all Mexicans are rapists” and that “all Muslims are bad.”

Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee, made the comment while addressing donors at a virtual fundraiser on Wednesday. In particular, the former vice president was asked if he was planning to reach out to Trump’s “base” during the general election campaign.

Biden, who has claimed to be the only Democrat capable of winning back white working-class voters, purportedly laughed at the idea of conducting such outreach.

“There are people who support the president because they like the fact that he is engaged in political division,” Biden told the donors. “They really support the notion that, you know, all Mexicans are rapists and all Muslims are bad and … dividing this nation based on ethnicity, race.”

When Biden’s remarks were first reported on social media, they drew immediate comparison to the infamous “basket of deplorables” comment former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made during the 2016 campaign.

Biden: Trump Supporters Believe 'Mexicans Are Rapists,' 'Muslims Are Bad'
If you read a majority of the posts on this board, it's hard to argue with that.
 
If they don’t somehow get Joe the answers now to the debate questions, so they can start prepping him , Trump will roast him alive on stage . Anybody that doesn’t think that is just nuts .
It's already started. I put the over under on Trump saying "Spit it out Joe" at 50 times between now and November.

Good luck if that's what you enjoy doing. But remember, VN will always remember your man crush on Pete wherever you go...Mayor Pete, is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just happy to see us? "No, it's just Zep."
I'm cool with being remembered for that. Pete was the best candidate by far out of this election season.

He was 3rd runner up in an ugly duckling competition but he was in the running as the best politician that any attention was given to.

IMO Gabbard was the best and Klobochar was the best that any attention was given to.

I disagree on Gabbard but Amy was solid. Biden was far from my first choice, but elections have consequences and such.

You're the reason Vindman's and CIAaremella's exist and thrive. Congrats.
Any one who pulls a lever for Joe is really surrendering to an unelected bureaucracy. Congrats.
Right, cause Trump and his appointed DOJ haven't been trying to pull shady **** during this pandemic. Go on some where with that. I was just told from Trump himself that only he has any power in this pandemic yesterday. Read his Tweets and save me the faux outrage.
