Biden: Trump is 'trashing American values'

Source: The Hill

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday slammed President Trump in one of his most stinging rebukes of the president, saying at a campaign rally that Trump was “trashing American values.”

“He is just trashing American values the way he talks about people, the way he makes fun of people, the way he denigrates folks,” Biden said at a rally in Owingsville, Ky., according to The New York Times. “I got to tell you, I think there is a method to his madness because he wants you to get down in the mosh pit with him.”

“His value set is much too narrow and self-serving, and I think it’s deliberately designed to appeal to the legitimate frustrations of a lot of working-class people by finding a scapegoat, the ‘other,’” Biden added. “Your lost your job, your identity is being threatened because of that immigrant. It’s an old, old method.”

“I look out there and I just don’t know how much more grievance can be appealed to by this guy to keep a majority,” he said.

He's about 3 years behind. Words like "traitor", "sexual abuser", "mentally unstable", should be now frequently used.

"The former senator said in March that he would have "beat the hell out of" Trump in high school over his degrading comments about women, later saying that he regretted making the comment."
