22 yr old who saw Biden, Harris, Booker & Sanders in SC: Biden "was the most genuine candidate" [View all]

https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Biden-confounds-critics-as-fans-welcome-hugs-and-14402283.php


"What I see in that is he can go on and on because he's so passionate," said John Moore, a 22-year-old from Hendersonville, North Carolina. "The reason he can talk so long about ending gun violence is because in the 1990s, he actually passed legislation that banned assault weapons."

Moore was referring to the controversial 1994 crime bill, which Biden wrote and which also included a 10-year ban on assault weapons.

Moore, who has come to South Carolina to see Biden as well as other 2020 Democrats such as Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders, said he was most impressed with Biden.

"Their answers were a lot shorter than his," he said. "They were mostly talking points. He was the most genuine candidate that I've seen out of all of them."
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
