Vice President Joe Biden blasted Donald Trump on Tuesday, calling the Republican presidential front-runner policy proposals on illegal immigration a “sick message” of “xenophobia.”
“There’s one guy absolutely denigrating an entire group of people, appealing to the baser side of human nature, working on this notion of xenophobia in a way that hasn’t occurred in a long time,” Biden said at a backyard reception held around the swimming pool at his Washington residence, marking Hispanic Heritage Month.Biden gave reassurance that the New York real estate magnate’s candidacy would ultimately repel most of the country.
“Folks, the American people are with us. I know it doesn’t feel that way, but I’m telling you, I’m telling you the American people agree with us,” he said. “The Trump and that stuff you’re hearing on the other team and this isn’t about Democrat/Republican, it’s about a sick message. This message has been tried on America many times before. We always, always, always, always, always overcome it.”
Biden is currently weighing a run for president, saying last week he’s unsure if he’s ready emotionally following the death of his son Beau this spring.
The small crowd chanted “Run, Joe, Run” at the conclusion of his fiery remarks, to which the vice president said only, “No, no, no, no.”
We know that Joe does not suffer from xenophobia, as he loves the Indians in Dunkin Donuts and 7 – 11.Send this to a friend
