Opinion: Joe Biden identifies Trump as the No. 1 threat

He's in. By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 25 at 10:49 AM Joe Biden’s new presidential announcement video appears designed to send the message that of all the Democrats, he uniquely recognizes the true nature of the threat that President Trump poses to the country’s fundamental character and future.

This matters because right now, Trump is trying to block McGahn from testifying before Congress. This would further flesh out the extraordinary efforts to obstruct justice that Mueller documented. Mueller concluded that those and other obstructive efforts were undertaken with improper intent — and concluded that presidents can violate obstruction statutes if they interfere in investigations with such corrupt motives.

Meanwhile, the magnitude of Mueller’s revelations continues to sink in. The New York Times has a new piece fleshing out how Trump repeatedly tried to get then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate Hillary Clinton — an effort to turn law enforcement loose on Trump’s political opponents. Biden’s video reaffirms the American civic nationalist tradition as the answer to the racial nationalism that has reasserted itself with Trump. The mission of the moment is to restore this tradition — the idea that political freedom and economic opportunity must be available to all, regardless of racial, cultural or ethnic background — to the center of American life.

In a sense, this draws on lessons Democrats took from their 2018 win. As Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, who worked on House races, told me, Democrats realized that both Democratic and swing voters wanted candidates who offered a “safe port in a storm” at a moment of perceived extreme danger in the form of Trump, which is why Democrats recruited many candidates with records of accomplishment and an aura of solidity and competence.

Joe is brutally honest. He is a major threat.

NO, you The Clinton’s,Obama ‘s the whole Democratic Party. I have a question for Biden, when your Son passed away You said on his death bed, he told u don’t let Hillary be President run against her, why didn’t u grant his wish

...why a ‘threat’? A threat to what?

He's right Trump is the 1 Threat to stopping the Corruption Biden is a BIG part of

What a rhino... this creepy Uncle Joe! It is not PRES. Trump... YOU... Sleepy Uncle Joe is the threat!

Ole drunk Joe

Old old old

That's my guy.

I find it to be Pelosi

Trump and the majority Republican Senate imbolden to Trumps dictatorship and none have the guts to reject his ideas?

Wonder what Joe Biden thinks of Obama using 'Steller Wind ' to conduct Political Espionage on all his opponents. Like Donald Trump.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Why cause he helped the working class, vets etc

Running on this message won’t get him elected.

This election is Good vs Evil. Plain and Simple!!!!

He is correct.

Uncle Joe has never told the truth n his life we dont need Joe Hussein Obama

Joe is right!!! Vote joe!!!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

.realDonaldTrump: 'very fine people on both sides' JoeBiden: “w/ those words, POTUS assigned moral equivalence btwn those spreading hate & those w/ courage to stand against it. America is an idea...that gives hate NO safe harbor. Remember who we are.' Powerful message.

not climate change? the 6th mass extinction? privatization of water supplies? widening income inequality? white nationalism? the growing influence and fominance of russia and china? israel’s abandonment of a 2 state solution? or...

I always insult people for things I’m ENVIOUS of! JoeBiden ‘s intelligence, Robert Mueller’s integrity and reputation, marcorubio ‘s normal-sized HANDS, and EVERYTHING about BarackObama ! JEALOUSY

Absolutely! What Trump has done to this nation IS shameful!

No doubt about it, DerangedDonald

Joe Biden is the no 1 threat to Little girl's

I thought it was racism. His first ad is about racism.

Because Trump is going to expose Biden as the criminal that he is.

Scripted Joe, good. Unscripted Joe, bad. These debates are going to be spectacular.

DarrellSr9 Someone needs to take Trump on by doing what Trump does best, Lie, Lie, Lie and then Lie about his Lies being the Truth. .

The left is a fear mongering propaganda!

Fear mongers!

if Biden wins, who will rule the old man - democrats or military-industrial complex?

'45 POTUS is Middle Class enemy 1! '

dammit, i guess i’ll be dead before we get a truly progressive president

Biden is correct.Trump is a sneaky, visceral threat to our democracy,to our very being; we must wake up & remove him through the ballot box.

UNITED STATES ADMIRAL MIKE ROGERS BLOWS THE DOOR OFF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SPYING ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND PRESIDENT TRUMP

I though climate change was?

too old, pervert, small brain, if he is the best DEMS can do, TRUMP will second term easily

POTUS realdonaldtrump YES YOU are!👺

He’s right!

I identify the Democratic Party ad the number one threat.

Number one threat is getting your child to close to all hands uncle Joey.

GJabberbox I think we can agree on that.

To globalism....yes. Go away, gropy Joe. I love America.

Haha Joe Biden, when this came on the news everyone broke out in laughter at my work. keepyourdaughtersclose JoeBiden2020 pedophile

Donald Trump, is the President of the United States of America. Lawfully.

Bigger threats than sexual misconduct and pedophilia

Threat to what? They've been saying the sky is falling for 2+years now. Get a real message instead of attacking

And the GOP Members of the house and senate.

So unifying

Joe Biden once insisted that President Teddy Roosevelt went on TV to reassure the public during the Great Depression... sadly, Teddy was not President and television was not a thing during the Depression. Slow Joe is not a smart man.

Over ISIS?

I think I would seriously look at China...

Will you be reporting on Biden's corrupt behavior with the Chinese and Ukraine? The bank account from which he withdraws large sums of money? Or will you hide this in favor of fake news?

Wrong title for The Who worry this ! If fake news identifies as number one enemy of the people & America the number two enemy should be Biden !

Need glasses

So basically no new ideas? They will lose.

Old Joe looks like a corpse in that photo...

He's not wrong! Biden2020🇺🇸

ThePlumLineGS POTUS 🃏realDonaldTrump F I N A L L Y the TRUTH Prevails

As you listen to the Campaign keep saying..”I’m an adult, “I’M AN ADULT”. Trump’s juvenile name calling, fantastical claims don’t work on me. I want to hear what the country needs... solutions.

WaPo feels surrendering may have to be put on hold. A charismatic apologize is lacking from this group.

Was he talking in his sleep?

Biden doesn't get it & speaks from the main stream nothing-will-change democratic platform. Trump is the symptom of a system that no longer works for the 🇺🇸 people. Big dark 💸 is running our political system & Biden is a taker of that 💸. Corporate greed is 🇺🇸 No 1 threat.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are the number one threat to humanity

JoeBiden video announcement was a disappointment to me. He looked old, the music was depressing, ominous video of Charlottesville. Just gave me a sad vibe. I like Joe but it’s time for new young Dem blood.

JoeBiden just ordered pepperoni pizza 🍕. We are with him on this. BidenPizzaThursday JoeBiden2020 PresidentialRace Democrats ✅

I agree with Biden

Just shore up the Party and make inroads with suburban mothers and independents. Forget the moron 37%...they will never desert their Conman. Don't even try pandering to them..they are perpetual victims, and love it!

I'm only upset that I can't be the moderator or Announcer for his campaigns 😣 but one day I will for other Political events ! 🙏🏿 I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE please retweet my TV interview below if you agree? 🙏🏿🤘🏿👇🏿

Well, Trump did not say that Neo-Nazis are good people. In fact, he said the opposite. Starting a campaign based on lies is a sure way to lose.

Really? That's the threat he identifies? No wonder ISIS flourished under Obama/Biden for so many years. So many innocents slaughtered....Sad Biden

joelytrumpshate Did he get work done? His eyes look weird.

Wow, he just don’t get it, his words and to say that does he understand where we are as. Country with immigration world powers, he’s out of touch to go personal, as a potential nominee .

Because he is

Trump is a threat to our Democracy.

He's right. There's been no greater threat to US Democracy since the Civil War.

A pre-buttal to the trolls and Russian bots: No, JoeBiden is not inciting violence against realdDonaldTrump by calling him the 'enemy'

😂😂😂😂

He has a creepy look in his eyes.

The coporate media is the No. 1 threat

Totally predictable. Making the election about Trump is making the election about Two Alternate Realities People On The Right And People On The Left Live In. They thinks he’s great, we know he’s not, and that’s it. Here’s an idea: alternative narrative

BREAKING NEWS: We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation

Threat from what Freedom. Sovereignty. Poverty. Stellar Military. People like Waters. Cortez and Deblasio Socialism?

He is right. Public Enemy 1.

He got the right .... TrumpFascism is what JoeBiden described.

No, liberal democrats are the big threat

Captain Obvious to the rescue!?

Any women around Joe knows who the real predator is.

victimhoodmentality at its finest! Biden2020

Biden’s 💯 right.

Trump is great

Wow, so glad he is here to tell us these things....

Trump is the Number 1 Puppet. McConnell and his cronies are the Number 1 Threat.

Hit the spot👍🏻

POTUS is only a threat to a socialist America.

While it is low hanging fruit. He is not wrong. It is just the start of things. Lets see what Joe's got!

He is tho..........His tweets sitr up crazies to send pipe bombs and do mass shootings.

Haha....Biden is a threat to himself!

Ok, but he is No.2

His hands might be number 1

Joe is just a shell of his former shell. He's like watching a washed-up lounge act cling to relevance. He's going to find out his tip jar will be pretty empty now that he's late to the party.

The entire thinking world believes that.
