Joe Biden to Accuse President Trump of Inspiring Mass Shootings

Former vice president Joe Biden will accuse President Donald Trump of inspiring mass shootings, during remarks Biden is scheduled to deliver in Iowa on Wednesday afternoon.

"We're living through a rare moment in this nation's history. Where our president isn't up to the moment. Where our president lacks the moral authority to lead. Where our president has more in common with George Wallace than George Washington."

The El Paso gunman specifically stated in his alleged manifesto that he had arrived at his racist ideas before Trump came onto the national political scene and disavowed any link to Trump.

Trump was referring to non-violent protesters on both sides of the issue of the removal of a Confederate statue; he specifically stated that neo-Nazis and white supremacists should be "Condemned totally."

The irony of comparing Trump to a candidate who was nearly assassinated, while accusing Trump of incitement, seems to have escaped the Biden campaign.

Biden will also accuse Trump of having "Fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation." In fact, extremist killings declined 39% during the first two years of the Trump administration, compared to the last two years of the Obama administration.

In the 2016 election, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempted to associate Trump with white supremacy in a speech in Reno, Nevada, that set the tone for her campaign to follow.
