Instead of asking Biden to apologize for the racism that Trump stoked. That's not an unreasonable request, framing it the way he did made it an attack on Biden for Trumps behavior. That kind of rhetoric has gone on long enough.

Sadly, it may now be impossible for our government to address that wrong.

As phrased its a convenient attack for Fox, "Biden refuses to apologize for racist remarks." Doesn't matter who made them, Biden is a racist.

If he apologizes, then "Biden is weak on America."

If Adams was sincerely saying that Biden should apologize for Trump fanning the racist flames, then he doesn't understand how politics works. You don't get to be a Police Captain and not understand how politics works.

Only took 1 day. Apologies will be accepted, but of course none needed from Biden.
