Biden gives perfect response to Trump

Say what you will about Joe Biden but he nailed the authoritarian POTUS' unfounded criticism that Biden "deserted" Pennsylvania.

“My family did have to leave Pennsylvania when I was 10,” Biden wrote in a fundraising email Tuesday. “We moved to Delaware where my dad found a job that could provide for our family.

“This is proof that Donald Trump doesn’t understand the struggles working folks go through,” Biden continued. “He doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry you will lose the roof over your head. He doesn’t understand what it’s like to wonder if you’re able to put food on the table. And he doesn’t understand that the longest walk a parent can make is up a short flight of stairs to their child’s bedroom to sit on the end of the bed and say, ‘Honey, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. We have to move. You can’t go back to your school. You won’t see your friends. You can’t play on that team. You can’t be in the choir because Daddy lost his job or Mommy lost her job.’

“My dad had to make that walk in Scranton, Pennsylvania,” he added.

The fact that Trump went all the way back to 10-year-old Joe Biden to find something to criticize. As if 10-year-olds decide where the family lives. That was just a pathetic swipe Trump took, and anyone that cheered it at his rally is equally pathetic.
