The Patriot Post® · Biden Blasted for Claiming Trump First Racist President
Joe Biden’s claim that President Donald Trump is the first “racist” president has received well-deserved blowback not only from those on the Right, like our own Mark Alexander with his poignant history lesson yesterday, but also from some on the Left.
Of particular note, the host of the popular New York City radio show “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne tha God, blasted Biden as “Donkey of the Day” for his comments. “I really wish Joe Biden would shut the eff up forever and continue to act like he’s starring in the movie ‘A Quiet Place,’ because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes noise, he gets us all killed, OK?” Charlamagne complained. That isn’t because he’s suddenly on Team Trump. He added, “There’s already so many people who are reluctantly only voting for Joe Biden because he’s the only option and because Donald J. Trump is that trash.” Charlamagne further castigated Biden for peddling “revisionist history” while pointedly asking, “How the hell can Donald Trump be the first racist president in a country where 12 presidents before him owned slaves?”
Recall that it was on Charlamagne’s show back in May when Biden made his infamous (and racist) comment, “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Leo Terrell, a civil rights attorney who recently made waves over his refusal to support Black Lives Matter, likewise hammered Biden. “He has not gone to these Democratic cities and embraced the victims like President Trump has,” Terrell observed. “He has not walked hand in hand with police officers. Joe Biden has insulted every African American by saying, ‘If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.’ I’m black. I’m not voting for him. He’s an insult to every American because people decide on the competency of the candidate. Joe Biden has to help the people in those cities and he’s not doing it. He’s in his basement.”
Speaking of racism, Biden may want to worry about his own glass house. “Biden has a long history of suspected racism,” writes The Federalist’s Jordan Davidson. “Whether it was the time he told members of the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, Iowa that ‘poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,’ the time he apologized for referring to then Sen. Barack Obama as the ‘first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,’ or the time he claimed ‘You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.’ Biden has shown lack of poise when it comes to racist commentary.”
What is truly revealed by Biden’s repeated and often ham-handed attempts to paint Trump as a racist is that his party is seriously worried about shoring up the black vote. Irrespective of the Leftmedia narrative, Trump has made significant inroads with black voters, and that combined with lack of enthusiasm for Biden is highly concerning for Democrats. In short, Biden and the Leftmedia hawking this “Trump is a racist” smear campaign is a desperate attempt to stop anyone from legitimately considering Trump’s impressive record as president in affecting positive changes for Americans of every color.
