Trump criticized Joe Biden for his 2020 race announcement

Listen to this article

The U.S President Donald Trump has targeted Joe Biden after the former vice president made a verbal slip regarding a potential 2020 presidential bid. Trump has eagerly followed the 2020 Democratic field. He tweeted on Monday, “Joe Biden got tongue-tied over the weekend when he was unable to properly deliver a very simple line about his decision to run for President”. He added, “Get used to it, another low I.Q. individual”! Biden said he had the most progressive record of anybody running. But Biden hasn’t declared whether he will launch a 3^RD run for the White House.

The president has previously labeled California Congresswoman Maxine Waters and actor Robert De Niro as being “low I.Q”. Moreover, Trump faced controversy on Monday after denying white nationalism was an increasing threat just days after a suspected gunman launched a terror attack against two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The House Judiciary Committee has revealed its intention to conduct hearings into the rise of white nationalism under Trump, in which it will probe the administration’s response to FBI findings that the issue has become an increasing threat.

Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox …..

Monday also marked the deadline for the White House to respond to the committee’s request for documents. It is a move the Trump administration has seemingly avoided. It remains unclear whether Democrats will now issue a subpoena against Trump or the White House. The president has been criticized for having such close ties to the right-wing broadcaster, most recently by The New Yorker, but here called on the network to “stay strong” over the decision to take host Judge Jeanine Pirro off the air for making an Islamophobic comment regarding Democrat Ilhan Omar.
