Biden Slams Trump's Anti-Muslim Stands, Embrace Of Putin

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden warned that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's anti-Muslim policies could backfire and hurt the United States.

"Some of the rhetoric I'm hearing sounds designed to radicalize all 1.4 billion" Muslims around the world, Biden said on June 20 at the Center for New American Security, a Washington think tank.

On June 19, Trump went beyond his previous calls for temporarily banning Muslim immigration by suggesting the United States should consider profiling Muslims already in the country.

"Wielding the politics of fear and intolerance, like proposals to ban Muslims from entering the United States or slandering entire religious communities as complicit in terrorism, calls into question America's status as the greatest democracy in the history of the world," Biden said.

I will support any thread that supports this absolutely wonderful person. He is the epitome of the conscience of this administration. Remember when he broke the news on the gay marriage deal?



Here's Barack Obama's response:


While the White House tried to equivocate, only heartfelt Joe Biden could have gotten away with that. He is the real fucking deal, to use his words. He turned the whole administration around with some simple statements.

I love him madly.

He gets it just right when we most need to hear from him. And the thing is, he's not shy about expressing his feelings, has become a kind of national conscience. To know him is to love him...

And thanks for posting the videos. Everyone needs to hear his message...
