WASHINGTON (JTA) — Joe Biden mocked President Donald Trump’s claims to speak out against anti-Semitism, saying the president is dividing the country and turning a blind eye to white supremacists.

“President’s talking about how he’s worried about anti-Semitism,” Biden told The New York Time’s editorial board in an interview the newspaper posted Friday. “This recent rule about universities.” Biden referred to an executive order Trump issued last month linking federal funding for universities to how seriously the campus addressed anti-Semitism.

“This is the same guy who watched anti-Semites, their veins bulging, coming out of fields, literally carrying torches,” Biden said, referring to the deadly neo-Nazi protests in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017.

“It was almost like a movie,” Biden said. “Preaching anti-Semitic bile. The same exact thing that was preached and hollered in the streets of Nuremberg in the ‘30s and throughout Germany, carrying swastikas. Kid gets killed, a young woman. President’s asked to comment, and he said there were very fine people on both sides.”

Trump’s defenders have said that his reference to “very fine people” at the time was to Civil War history buffs who oppose removal of the statues of Confederate heroes, the action the neo-Nazis were ostensibly protesting, and also note that Trump condemned neo-Nazis. However, the protesters in Charlottesville on that day were overwhelmingly white supremacists and neo-Nazis, the march was organized by white supremacists, and most of the violence was planned and perpetrated by the marchers.

“That’s the single most important thing we have to excise,” Biden said, referring to white supremacy. “Have you heard him say a word about white supremacy? Have you heard him say a word that would lead anybody to believe he still not decided that the only way to win is divide the country?”

Biden has not ONCE spoken out about recent attacks on Jews in Crown Heights, Williamsburg, Monsey, Boro Park, and the horrible fatal attacks in Jersey City, which were not perpetrated by white nationalists/supremacists, but by people of color. Biden is afraid to say anything about those attacks, because he is afraid of losing a large portion of his base of support. He is (to paraphrase what he recently told an elderly protester) a damn hypocrite!

Have you heard the libtards say anything condemning the Muslim and black anti semitic attacks? Just more mumbo jumbo about how we don’t tolerate hate of any kind. For every ” there are good people on both sides” there’s a ” some people did some things.” Anyway Biden can go croak for all I care. Can take Warren with him. Unfortunately Bernie is a yeedle, so I hope he does tshuva in all areas

Joe BiteMe is an old senile bag who only says what his dumb advisors feed him. He is really clueless as to what is going on outside his 8 feet perimeter of yes-men. He has no idea what the true concerns are for the average taxpayer.

Al Sharpton was frequent guest at the Obama White House. Biden kept his mouth shut.

Biden is an anti Semite. He yelled at Netanyahu like a croaking frog. He has no love for Israel. He and his old boss Obama will join the rest of the Jew haters in gehenom.
