As the nation grapples with mass shootings and the continued rise of white nationalism, Joe Biden delivered a speech in Burlington, Iowa about the battle for the soul of America. Biden's remarks were a forceful reminder that America is at its best when we stand together against hate and violence. He spoke about confronting the threat of white nationalism, addressing the gun violence epidemic, and defeating Donald Trump.
Washington Post Opinion: Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president would sound like
“In a fiery and blunt speech slamming the tenor, tone and words of President Trump as the nation reels from white nationalist domestic terrorism, former vice president Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president sounds like. His words were stirring. His delivery was passionate. And they were befitting a man who kicked off his campaign with a video decrying Trump’s shameful response to Charlottesville. Biden wasn’t blind to the shortcomings of our nation and the men who formed it. He talked about them. But he demonstrated that the vision of America was perpetuated by Democratic and Republican presidents alike throughout its history.”
Washington Post Opinion: Joe Biden’s speech in Iowa puts Trump to shame
“Biden explained that the real choice is between Trump and American democracy, between Trump and objective truth and between Trump and someone with a basic understanding of what makes America “great.” The speech was intended to and succeeded in making the case that Biden could be that better alternative, but in another sense it should serve as a provocation to Republicans.”
CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell: Joe Biden says Trump has "fanned the flames of white supremacy"
“With 65 weeks until the presidential election, we're getting a preview of how nasty it could get. On Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, directly linked President Trump to the massacre in El Paso, Texas. His speech took place just hours before Mr. Trump arrived there, to pay his respects to the victims. In Iowa on Wednesday, Biden accused Mr. Trump of inspiring mass shootings in Texas and Pennsylvania. Biden went on to say that in both ‘language’ and ‘code,’ the president ‘has fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation.’”
ABC News: Biden hits Trump as he heads to El Paso: 'He has fanned the flames of white supremacy'
“With President Donald Trump still flying from Dayton, Ohio, to El Paso, Texas, in the wake of weekend mass shootings in the two cities, former Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that the president was encouraging white supremacy and violence with his divisive rhetoric. Biden's comments came in a forceful speech on the campaign trail in Iowa.”
Politico: Biden, in Iowa, torches Trump’s divisive rhetoric
“Joe Biden lit into President Donald Trump on Wednesday, assailing his moral compass and asserting that the president ‘has publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy of hate, racism and division.’ Biden tied the address to the pair of mass shootings that took place over the weekend — one of which was carried out by a suspect who mirrored some of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric — linking the president in no uncertain terms to the growing threat of white supremacism in the U.S.”
HuffPost: Joe Biden Accuses Trump Of Fanning ‘Flames Of White Supremacy’ In Iowa Speech
“Former Vice President Joe Biden said during a speech in Iowa on Wednesday that President Donald Trump has ‘fanned the flames of white supremacy.’ The 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful spoke at a campaign stop in Burlington, Iowa, roughly 170 miles southeast of Des Moines, where he connected Trump’s rhetoric to a series of violent attacks in the U.S. Biden on Wednesday encouraged Americans to ‘do what our president can’t’ and stand together against hate.”
Des Moines Register: Joe Biden, in Iowa, says that Trump 'has fanned the flames of white supremacy'; Trump, on Twitter, says Biden is 'boring'
“Returning to Iowa on Wednesday, Joe Biden said President Donald Trump "has fanned the flames of white supremacy" in his response to mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. Police say the white man who carried out the shooting in El Paso posted a hate-filled racist missive online and traveled to the largely Hispanic city to target his victims based on their race. As he has done frequently from the campaign trail, Biden also referenced a 2017 neo-Nazi and far right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, where one man killed a woman who was part of a group of counter-protesters.”
