Biden has a long history of making racist statements, often striking out at reporters of color.
BIDEN’S NASTINESS AND RACISM REVEALED AGAIN
"Biden’s angry response is consistent with the description of him by Steve Silbiger in a guest post for Power Line. Biden can’t stand to be challenged. Contrary to his portrayal in the media, he is a nasty piece of work.
I think it’s also significant that the reporter interviewing Biden is Black. Biden obviously wanted to lash out at the guy, but why do so by raising drug addiction? Because, apparently, that’s the first thing Biden thinks of when he’s angry with a Black.
To me, this was a case of free association: “Black man who gets on your nerves” — “junkie.”
As we’ve seen in the past, Biden’s racism is never far below the surface."
