How far is it from Trumps saying this is an invasion to the shooter in El Paso declaring his attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas? Not far at all, Biden, who leads the 2020 Democratic presidential field, will say at a campaign event in eastern Iowa this afternoon, according to excerpts of his remarks provided by the campaign. In both clear language and in code, the president has fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation.
Biden has long framed the 2020 election as a battle for the soul of the nation, a point he will underscore again Wednesday as he kicks off a four-day visit to the nations leadoff caucus state. Trump, Biden will argue, has more in common with George Wallace than George Washington.
Biden will note how past presidents have stepped up in moments that tested the nation, including George W. Bush visiting a mosque shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks and Barack Obamas singing Amazing Grace at a memorial service for victims of the Mother Emanuel AME shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. But we dont have that today, Biden will say.
"Trump offers no moral leadership; no interest in unifying the nation, no evidence the presidency has awakened his conscience in the least, the former vice president will say. Instead we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy of hate, racism and division.

I hope there won't be an overlap, and that cable news will be able to cover both speeches in their entirety.

(10,885 posts)1. The gloves are now off for both Escobar and Beto.
To me, they both seemed like very polite and somewhat cautious types.
That was before they lost 22 of their own.
You can tell how personal this fight is for both of them.
