Newly emboldened, Andrew Yang takes jabs at some of his 2020 Democratic rivals

Andrew Yang is taking aim at some of his competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In a short interview with Fox News on Friday after speaking at the Des Moines Register’s "soapbox" at the Iowa State Fair – a tradition for White House hopefuls – Yang said his universal basic income proposal is “twice as good” as a similar plan by top-tier primary contender Sen. Kamala Harris of California

-snip-

Yang also reacted to the latest verbal gaffe by former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner in the Democratic nomination race.

Speaking in Iowa on Thursday to a crowd at an Asian and Latino PAC event, Biden – discussing how to challenge lower-income students – said “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids” before quickly adding “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”

Please, please go away, all three of you. Activism is OK, even welcome. But utterly unqualified people running for president and cluttering up the primary process in this urgently important election is not. Please use your money to do some good.

If you can't run on your own merits, you've got nothing. Attacking the front runner is all Yang has got
