Traveled to iowa today and directly blamed president trump for the two recent mass shootings. >> this president has fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation. hes poured fuel onn the fire. we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly and unapologetically embraced the political strategy of hate, racism, and division. >> laura: but uncle joe seems to be forgetting his own checkered past with racistis and divisiveac language. back in june biden came under fire for the use of t...

Working relationship with southern segregation of senators inside the delegation in the past which sparked words with other candidates, including corey. >> the way he said it caused hurt and harm by saying, hey, this racist called me son, didnt call me boy. well, it evoked a lack of understanding, an ignorance. >> i do understand the consequence of the word boy, but it wasnt said in any of that context at all. to the extent that anybody thought that i meant something different, that is not what ...

Let me ask you, you endorsed mr. biden. how do you respond to those of us who questioned him on his using the term, they did not call me boy, they called me son, which has a different connotation to many of us who have been called boys, our fathers have been called boys, and on and on. and about his talking about the civil behavior in the senate when people like eastland and other segregationists and how offensive it is to normalize people that were outright fighting for jim crow laws to remain ...

Got it. >> wall street did not build america. you build america. >> we defeat trump by running a campaign of energy and enthusiasm that grows voter turn out. >> i know we have in this white house have a president that says he wants to make america great again. what does that mean? does he want to take us back to before schools were integrated or before roe v. wade was enacted. we are not going back. >> the first time joe biden addressing something he said at a fundraiser in new york saying, the ...

And if the democrats didnt want this to become an ugly racial debate, these issues deserve a dialogue, not a debate. i dont think its helpful for the country to have senator booker and biden calling each other to apologize. they should sit down and talk about it because i have a lot of questions about how you handle things like reparations, police shootings and all these things that are going on in the democratic party. i think it would be much more helpful for the country to have these discusse...

Serving with him. saying he never called me boy, he always called me son. heres biden responding yesterday in an interview with reverend al sharpton. >> it hurts when you bring up boy. it means something different to us. it hurts when you call i racist and you normalize it. its not the biden i know and i dont understand. >> thats not what we said though. the consequence was totally different. i do understand the consequence of the word boy but it wasnt said in any of that context at all. >> you ...

Sessions to be attorney general. >> in your mind. >> yeah. >> now, all of this comes a day after the south carolina democratic convention. 21 candidates making a pitch to voters in the sight of the first primary of the 2020 race. while there was a lot of talk on stage, the news was made off stage. frontrunner joe biden and the candidate who criticized him over comments about working with segregationist senators appeared in back to back exclusive interviews with al sharpton, take a listen. >> wha...

With that experience. he said he wishes biden wouldnt just go along with incremental changes and progress and that he should be a bold change agent. he also took particular issue with bidens comments where he said that the former senator james eastland, a known segregationist never called him, quote, boy. he only called me son. that was another thing that senator cory booker took issue with as well saying that that shouldnt be made light of, that african-americans were frequently called boy by r...

>> he kept a muzzle on joe biden. he put his foot in his mouth. you wont find a bigger booster than me who understands his historic legacy and ability to leverage his own blackness in a way. his awe tentic connection. im not mad at that. heres the point. if i tell you this he didnt call me the b word. he called me man. you dont qualify. when he says he didnt call me a boy. he doesnt call white people boy. thats not the point. being called a boy as a white man doesnt institute. >> he screwed up h...
