Biden says Trump is America's first racist president
Ummm... Lyndon Johnson? Woodrow Wilson? Think a little harder, Joe... Oh. Wait. Sorry. No offense.

Biden campaign senior adviser Symone Sanders later issued a statement clarifying Biden's comments.
[MSN] "There have been a number of racist American presidents, but Trump stands out -- especially in modern history -- because he made running on racism and division his calling card and won," she said. "He deliberately foments both, intentionally causing indescribable pain because he thinks it advantages him politically. The George Wallaces of our country's history who have run on these hate-filled themes have lost."

Setting aside Biden's assessment of Trump, his remark drew instant criticism, given the known histories of past presidents, a number of whom were slave owners. That history, in recent weeks, has driven controversial efforts to take down and deface statues and monuments dedicated to them.

In addition to the known record of presidential slave ownership, including by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, early in the country’s history, other presidents from the last century also have come under fire. Princeton University decided just last month to remove President Woodrow Wilson’s name from its public policy school and a residential college, citing Wilson’s "racist views and policies" as the main factor in the decision.

Wilson, who served in the early 20th century, supported segregation and imposed it on several federal agencies. During his presidency, the notoriously racist film "The Birth of a Nation," which glorified the Ku Klux Klan, was screened at the White House.

Wow. They really don't need competition to destroy themselves. Now, if only the now generation read its history.

#3 Obama wasn't divisive with his hate America first policies?

Wow the MSM/Dem are really scraping the barrel, but that's all they got.

No surprise, but MSM doesn't know much (or aren't saying) about Tommy Jefferson's history.

#6 Come on people, they've got to try. They've done a spiffy job of erasing the Democratic Party's history of slavery, segregation and the actions of their auxiliary, the Klan. Their commissars work daily to make sure that is never highlighted or brought to fore.

But Clem, there's nothing wrong with that according to the Woke, Dem, MSM brigades these days. Heck, throwing the Japanese-Americans in camps is glossed over now.

#9 I still have yet to see any leftist clearly articulate what is 'rayciss' about Trump.

They just throw it out there like it is an established fact, and the media nods their collective head in agreement.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what is racist about the President? In clear, unambiguous terms.

#14 If being White is defacto racism, and it’s inherent in our nature, we need to quit worrying about it and quit giving guilt money to the race extortionists who keep screaming BLM.

#18 Ja ja ja ja ja.

There goes two months of narrative building.

Wilson was a real gem of a democrat. Does that mean The League of Nations and its bastard daughter United Nations are racist ideas and institutions?
