From the moment he began his 2020 presidential campaign, former Vice President Joe Biden made it clear that a driving force in his decision to run was a desire to quench the flames of racism, bigotry and antisemitism that the Trump era had ignited.
Biden began his race for the White House in the spring of 2019 with a speech explaining that it was the far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, that convinced him to run for president and take on the battle for the soul of this nation.
Speaking about Charlottesville, in his campaign video announcement Biden said: We saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open, their crazed faces illuminated by torches, veins bulging, and bearing the fangs of racism chanting the same antisemitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s.
President Donald Trumps reaction to the unrest, including the death of a young protester in a car ramming attack, stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation, Biden said, as vivid images of the Charlottesville violence played across the screen.
