Biden Likens Trump To George Wallace, Not George Washington

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday likened President Trump to former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a vocal adversary of the Civil Rights movement and supporter of segregation.

“Trump and Republicans settle on fear and falsehoods as a midterm strategy,” Biden said during a rally at Cheyenne Saloon in Orlando, Fla., CNN reported. "No president has ever led by fear. Not Lincoln. Not Roosevelt. Not Kennedy. Not Reagan. This president is more like George Wallace than George Washington.”

"We have to choose a brighter future for Americans over this desperate grip of the darkest elements of our past in our society,” Biden said.

Biden also castigated Trump on Monday for his response to the caravan of thousands of migrants making its way to the U.S.-Mexico border.

"The caravan is 2,000 miles away. He's making it sound like they're breaking through the border. This is hysteria on his part," Biden told CNN after a rally in Jacksonville, Fla., Monday.
