Biden mocks black voters who have not decided between him and Trump “then you ain’t black”


Former Vice President made some provocative comments while appearing on the “Breakfast Club” radio show with host Charlamagne tha God.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden told Charlamagne, not in response to any question, but to the host’s statement: “It’s a long way until November, we’ve got more questions.”
“It don’t have nothing to do with Trump, it has to do with the fact — I want something for my community,” the radio host shot back.
WATCH:
Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the segment by tweeting:
Retweet if you think this sounds racist AF!!!
Imagine if Donald Trump said this…

 Burgess Owens replied:
If @realDonaldTrump said this there would be riots in the street. I held picket signs and protested segregation, while Joe Biden fought for it. I will proudly support Trump, let’s see him tell me to my face I’m not black.

Pelosi Proposes $3.6 billion to aid “Voting at Home” calls it “a Small Price to Pay”


Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the U.S. to spend $3.6 billion to help “voting from home.”
Pelosi argued “People should not have to choose between voting and preserving their good health.”
Nancy Pelosi:
Voting is under assault both from a systemic nationwide campaign of voter suppression and from the coronavirus. The fear of getting sick and not to go to the polls. People should not have to choose between voting and preserving their good health and that of their families. Because no matter what you do when you go out, you bring it home. Again, no one should be forced to vote for their health or their vote.”
In the HEROES Act, we added the balance of what we think we need to have voting at home and to protect the ballot. That would be $3.6 billion.
A small price to pay for our democracy and the good health of Americans going to the polls. We will be there to expand vote at home, vote by mail some call it, including no-excuse absentee ballots, same-day registration, and again, having polling places available for those who want to participate in person for whatever reason.
This is about the livelihood and life of our democracy. Essential to the life of our democracy is removing obstacles of participation to voting. And now, even more so now, when voting can be a risk to your health, as we saw demonstrated in Wisconsin.
We don’t want anything to stand in the way of the right to vote.
