Trump campaign hits Biden for 'lying' and being a 'racist' in new ad featuring Kanye West


President Donald Trump’s campaign is claiming his likely 2020 Democratic Party opponent should be rejected on the grounds of lying and being racist.

“Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is launching a $1 million digital ad blitz aimed at capitalizing on Joe Biden’s inflammatory remark that African American voters “ain’t black” if they’re considering voting for the president,” Politico reported Friday.

“The Trump campaign is planning to run a video montage highlighting Biden’s Friday morning comment on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ a popular black radio program,” Politico reported. “Biden set off a firestorm Friday morning when he told the program’s co-host, Charlamagne tha God, that ‘if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.’”

...remember, the goal isn't to get minority groups members to switch their vote to Trump, it's to undermine their support for Biden so they simply opt to stay home on Election Day. That sort of approach worked last time (among its target audience, not minorities in general); hopefully, Trump's behavior has been so egregious that it won't work this time.

10. "Inflammatory remark"? Not even. Those that listened to the show, know what Joe was saying.

This is coming from the same group of people that did understand Black Lives Matter.

Any surpression of the vote by even 1 or 2 percent could tip this race to Trump, that's why he's doing it. There's tonns of propaganda out there on how Trump had done more for black people than Obama/Biden.

This probably forces Bidens hand in the VP stakes.
