NEW: Asked if he thinks Pres. Trump is a white supremacist, Joe Biden tells @marykbruce, "I believe everything the president says and has done encourages white supremacists, and I'm not sure there's much of a distinction. As a matter of fact, it may be even worse."

1. Excellent response, Joe!

[Wellstone ruled]

2. That picture is worth millions of words.

Look at all the Surprised Facial expressions. Notice the facial on Bruce's face,she did not expect that type of response.

Keep it up Joe,the Media will try their best to Ambush you one way or another.

9. yeah that was good

and he's 100% correct. what was trump on, that's what inquiring minds want to know. anyone with half a brain knows he doesn't give a rat's ass about victims or anyone but himself, that he needs the racist vote (it won't be enough), and that he is the racist in chief.

I still think a simple yes would have been a good answer to the question asked.

15. Me too! Calling it as he sees it leaves no room for doubt... it was a great response

[John Fante]

6. Biden argued that Trump might be worse than a run-of-the-mill

white supremacist (he is) and explained why. Much more effective than a simple "yes".

[Cha]

10. I agree, John.. Thank You!

[Thekaspervote]

11. Honestly a pitch perfect answer

Biden isn't my person this cycle, but between things like the speech yesterday and this response here, he's kind of transforming himself into the foremost leader of the Democratic Party in the face of white supremacy. He's comporting himself like the leader of the Democratic Party.

It's going to benefit him. And even if he's not one of my picks, credit where due. If people support him more or switch their votes, I have seen why they would do so in the face of this past week and his response to it. He's hitting the right tone, using the right words, and he's unapologetic in using terms that haven't really been mainstream. A Democratic candidate calling out a President's use of white supremacy - and most of our candidates have and are now doing so - is actually a little bit of a radical thing in our modern politics where every response is measured and poll tested.

Our candidates seem to have had enough and are going all out now against Trump.

Awesome.

12. Biden seems to have found his groove

He is demonstrating how a leader and statesman should behave. I’m glad he has sunk his teeth in and is not letting go.

13. Biden's speech was like a CAT scan of Trump's soul for all the world to see

and there is nothing inside Trump for a human being to like

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Agree on all counts. Go Get 'Em Joe!

17. Joe speaking up and speaking out. "Truth over lies".

19. The proverbial gloves are off. Nt
