Former Vice President Joe Biden has leveled harsh words at President Donald Trump for placing blame on “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In a commentary published Sunday in The Atlantic, Biden wrote: “Today we have an American president who has publicly proclaimed a moral equivalency between neo-Nazis and Klansmen and those who would oppose their venom and hate.”
He said Trump has “emboldened white supremacists with messages of comfort and support.”
Biden and former President Barack Obama have kept a low profile since leaving office, carefully choosing the moments to weigh in.
In his commentary, Biden said: “This is a moment for this nation to declare what the president can’t with any clarity, consistency, or conviction: There is no place for these hate groups in America.”

And Obama/Biden emboldened, supported, fed, armed, saved, negotiated with, protected Islamist supremacist who caused a huge exodus in eurasia, bombed our allies using our taxpayers’ money, raped, murdered, pillaged their own brothers.
Which one was worse?
Many of us believe its time for Biden, Hillary et. al. to “bud out” of the politcal debate and make room for a new generation of Democratic leadership….
DISCLAIMER*(Not a Trump basher/hater, please read with open mind)
I agree. Lets put a stop to this whole blind support for Trump by Frum Yidden. Not supporting the left does not mean you have to support the extreme Jew hating so called ALT Right! Denounce both sides! Midyan and Moav both hated each other but when it came to Bnei Yisrael they joined forces against us. Trump does not seem to know how to denounce both parties equally. Its either one side or the other. Problem is I’m afraid, is that he actually does have a soft support for these white supremacists. And to all that say he denounces, pay attention, how long does it take him to do so? And after how much pressure? Shouldnt that be a natural thing to do? Denounce the hate from BOTH sides. Apparently there were many instances that showed us he isnt much better at mentioning the words white supremacists than Obama was with mentioning Radical Islam. Why are YIdden so excited about Trump. Can’t you see that he doesn’t mind the anti semitism coming from white supremacists? Can’t you see that he skipped the Holocaust museum in Warsaw, a tradition of US presidents? At yad vashem he wrote amazing so fun to be here with my friends. Yup the Holocaust truly was amazing huh. Aside for all the other examples like retweeting from anti semitic Twitter accounts including the Magen David..I mean “sheriff star” on a backdrop of money stating Hillary Clinton the most corrupt candidate ever. An implication she was being fed money by JEWS. Oh ya I heard it all, his daughter is Jewish, his son in law his kids date jews. Wow very nice. He is not his kids or his daughter he has his own opinion as he solemnly portrays. Did Pharaoh suddenly like the Yidden due to his daughter Basya converting to Judaism? I think not. Queen Esther was the wife of Achashverosh the king! Even then it was a close call when she had to beg for her people to be saved from the evil decree. And to your surprise there are even so called neo nazis who have jewish wives but just hate all the jews besides the ones they are close to. The bottom line is it doesnt matter who is jewish in someones family, because they are not the desicion makers. Besides Trump once spoke at a jewish event and mentioned how he cant reach his daughter on the Sabbath and that her converting to Judaism “wasnt planned”.
Are we forgetting the Jewish stereotypes that Trump threw at Jews in the republican coalition as he spoke to them? “Deal makers”,”wont vote for me because I dont need your money”! The list goes on and on. The left isnt much better but they are good at pointing out Trumps actions involving Jews which raise a few eyebrows. My point is before you blindly support someone who seemingly enjoys groups chanting ” Jews will not replace us”—just stay cautious. And lehavdil elef havdalos and not trying to be an alarmist, Germany did not start hating Jews overnight, it took years and many speeches and rallies by an indivdual until it was time to break all hell loose.
Gadolhadorah, “new generation of Democratic leadership” like left-wing Antifa Bolsheviks and BML fascists resists? “Many of us” ? Who are “us” ?
Gadol, they won’t butt out of the political debate because they’re in it for themselves, not for the future of democracy.
How come Biden was never run out of town due to his barrage of openly racist jokes? There was a place for that?
What, besides the obvious, has changed?
