Democratic front-runner Joe Biden lashed out at President Donald Trump for contributing to a climate of division and violence, arguing that the only way to change course is to defeat the president.
“When you give a safe harbor to hate from the Oval Office, it gives license to extremism all across the country. I’m not saying he’s personally responsible but I’m saying he’s a significant contributor to what’s going on,” Biden told donors at a fundraiser in San Diego, where his standard speech about his plans to defeat Trump became an emotional plea and a cry of frustration.
