Biden: Trump Is 'More Like George Wallace Than George Washington'
  • 6 years ago
Joe Biden took another jab at President Trump on Tuesday.

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday compared President Trump to George Wallace, the past governor of Alabama who opposed the Civil Rights movement and championed segregation, reports CNN.  When speaking at a rally in Orlando, Florida, he referenced a Washington Post article about Trump's and Republicans' use of fear as a tactic to motivate voters.  Biden then commented: "No president has ever led by fear. Not Lincoln. Not Roosevelt. Not Kennedy. Not Reagan. This president is more like George Wallace than George Washington!" While Biden has yet to announce his 2020 candidacy, there is a possibility that he and Trump will face off in the 2020 election. 
Trump has described Biden as his "dream" opponent for that race.  During an interview with CBS News, Trump was asked to weigh in on which Democrats he think will run.  "Well, I dream, I dream about Biden. That's a dream," Trump said. "Look, Joe Biden ran three times. He never got more than 1 percent and President Obama took him out of the garbage heap, and everybody was shocked that he did. I'd love to have it be Biden."
