In the vacuum of a “presidential” response to the bombing attacks, Biden stepped up. That isn’t surprising. Biden enjoys his current role as America’s adult. But let’s have a conversation about what ending “this division, this hatred, this ugliness” means. Because if it means Democrats go back to being obsequious pussies who allow Republicans to run riot, in the hope that the GOP will eventually get tired of holding power – count me out.
Trump:
“Well I think I’ve been toned down, if you want to know the truth. I could really tone it up because, as you know, the media’s been extremely unfair to me and the Republican Party,” Trump said hours after the FBI arrested a suspect in connection to the mailed pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats and CNN this week.
Biden:
“This division, this hatred, this ugliness — it has to end,” Biden said at the university. “Words matter.”
“I’ve never, ever, ever looked at a political opponent as an enemy. They are an opponent in a contest of ideas, but not an enemy.
“We are Americans before we are Democrats or Republicans or independents.”
