The former president has slammed conservatives while claiming that the US is more divided than ever
Former US President Joe Biden has accused Donald Trumpβs supporters of having βno hearts,β while claiming that America has βnever been this divided.βBiden himself was frequently accused by conservatives of demonizing his political opponents and inciting divisions during his four years in office.
Biden hit out at his successor on Tuesday in his first public speech since leaving the White House, alleging that Trump has inflicted a βbreathtakingβ amount of damage on federal programs through extensive cuts.
βTheyβve taken a hatchet in Social Security, pushing additional 7,000 employees, 7,000 out the door in that time, including the most seasoned career officials. Now theyβre getting ready to push something more out the door,β Biden stated.
The former president, who served between 2020 and 2024, went on to demean Trumpβs supporters, arguing that the US has βnever been this divided.β
βGranted, itβs just 30%, but itβs a 30% that has no heart,β Biden said, apparently referring to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll in which almost a third of respondents approved of Trumpβs attempts to address the high cost of living.
Bidenβs remarks have drawn criticism from conservatives, who alleged that the Democratic Party and the former presidentβs policies were one of the main contributing factors to divisions in American society.
