'Enough’s enough, man,' Biden said at a rally in Iowa. 'This is nonsense.'
Former Vice President Joe Biden again took aim at President Donald Trump's comments about a deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, while speaking at a rally in Iowa on Tuesday.
"Enough’s enough, man. This is nonsense. The very rally was advertised, advertised, as a white supremacist rally,” Biden asserted."He now has come down and doubled down on concocting a phony story about how these violent thugs only wanted to protect a statue of Robert E. Lee. Give me a break. Enough’s enough ... Hatred was on the march, and he knew it." pic.twitter.
“And that's when we heard the words the president of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation. He said there were, quote, ‘some very fine people on both sides,’” he explained. Trump’s praise for Lee has also drawn criticism, as the rebel general was a brutal slave owner, known for beating his slaves and separating families. He also led the Confederate army in rebellion against the North, fighting to preserve Southerners’ rights to own human beings as property. Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina also pointed out on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday that it was strange to see Trump speak so highly of a “loser,” as Lee was undeniably the loser of the Civil War.
