Biden’s Philadelphia speech felt like a throwback in a different sense. There was sobriety and empathy in what the presumptive Democratic nominee had to say, qualities that couldn’t be more alien to Donald Trump, qualities that can feel all too rare in this chaotic moment.
The other critique of Biden is that we haven’t seen all that much of him. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic sent the campaign into the digital realm, Biden seemed to limit his public appearances and media interviews. And so there was a sense of anticipation, a bracing for the unknown, when Biden arrived in Philadelphia to speak to a grieving and anxious country.
Instead of using the Bible as a prop, Biden said, President Trump might consider reading a few pages of it. If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had the time to ram through conservative judge after conservative judge, Biden said, then Congress had the time to outlaw the use of chokeholds by law-enforcement officers and bring a halt to the militarization of local police departments.“heal the racial wounds that have long plagued this country, not use them for political gain.
Barack Obama’s 2008 “A More Perfect Union” speech in Philadelphia this was not. But compare it with “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” or that protesters “were lowlifes and losers” who would be “greeted with the most vicious dogs and most ominous weapons,” or any of the other threats and incitements to violence spewed forth by President Trump in recent weeks and months.
Near the end of his speech, Biden said that this president “has turned our country into a battlefield riven by old resentments and fresh fears.” Well, no, that tradition long predates Donald Trump; he is merely its latest adherent. But Biden was correct, and forceful in a way that he’s needed to be for some time now, that Trump’s “narcissism has become more important than the nation’s well-being that he leads.
Blm formed when he was VP with Obama. If you liberals think it will be any better this time around you are fools.
“I cannot breathe” happened under his watch , Obama and Biden.
But what is his plan, instead of spewing out bumper sticker slogans?
This Joe Biden? Holding hands with the leader of the KKK?
Truth🙌🏼
While he fanned the flames of hate
Except he and RS leave out the fact that this Man spent over 40 years in Govt and He used to Bragg about the Criminal reforms he passed that really hurt the people he is pandering to now. He wants to fix things now only if you would vote for him . He is not the answer .
Go home Joe, your too old for this shit
Accuses? More like stating the fact.
He is half right, the other half is the DemParty.
He had 8 years....nothing
Waiting how long exactly? 40+ years? Change is definitely coming with Joe. He was just pretend politicking for 40 years and VPing for 8 😂
A vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. Period.
Its not an accusation when its backed up with video footage.
Lying mf 😤😤😤... Y'all dont be fooled by sweet words.
Not me! I’m still waiting!
Time for ole Joe to act like he cares about the black community so he can get their votes. Then continue being an imbecile
'The Joe Biden we've been waiting for' 🤣🤣🤣 There is NO version of .JoeBiden that ANYONE who cares about this nation's progress is waiting for.
Stfu with this lol
Waiting for? Lol I’ve been supporting this man from the start. I had hope he’d be the candidate n he came out on top just like I knew he would. No one had to “wait” for Joe. He’s been waiting on the rest of America. Sleepy Joe? More like Sleepy America. Glad folks r waking up. ☮️
Take good care Mr. Biden...
Guy can’t even remember his own name and that’s what you’ve been waiting for Good lord lol
Joni_Looking VOTE FOR JOE in November My video for Biden 2020
Croc of shit!
Not one good comment !! ... Well people , get ready for a civil war because if Trump goes back in that's what you will have , that and the end of democracy . I don't know who would please some of you people .
Didn't he tell a black man..'you ain't black enough' like a week ago? And now he's gonna solve racism in America?
Why? Does he give every Bruce Springsteen album 5 stars?
The Biden we've been waiting for? Did he say he was stepping out of the race? Because I've been waiting for that.
Wow. You have really low expectations 🤣
Oh wow, did he FINALLY make it through a public appearance without saying anything absurdly tone-deaf and stupid?
What were you waiting for? To see if he can put two sentences together. Take a look at his history on race relations.
Does Joe Biden use paid protestors to create violent protests for political and corporate gains?
The Republican platform: Shoot ‘em. The Democrat platform: “Shoot ‘em in the leg.”
💙🇺🇸VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
This senile old man is still exponentially better than the divisive fascist in office currently
Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Trump sucks but Biden could very well be worse. And that is saying something.
That was like waiting for Frye Fest and just about as legit.
The one who wrote the most racist bill in political history?
I really hope this is a convincing article folks. I’ve relied on your journalism and message of integrity for over 30 years.
The “We” meaning the press, not the “people”. BlackLivesMatter DefundThePolice
