Biden says Trump is first racist U.S. president

Joseph R. Biden said Donald Trump is the first racist America has ever elected president.

The 77-year-old presumed Democratic presidential nominee made that remarkable claim at a Wednesday virtual town-hall meeting organized by the Service Employees International Union.

Mr. Biden was asked about Mr. Trump’s use of “China virus” and other reported terminology regarding the novel coronavirus, which originated in China last year.

He replied that Mr. Trump “deals with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin” and went on to say in emphatic terms that this was absolutely without precedent in American history.
