The former president has slammed conservatives while claiming that the US is more divided than ever
Former US President Joe Biden has accused Donald Trumpโs supporters of having โno hearts,โ while claiming that America has โnever been this divided.โBiden 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 โbreathtakingโ amount of damage on federal programs through extensive cuts.
โTheyโve 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 theyโre getting ready to push something more out the door,โ Biden stated.
The former president, who served between 2020 and 2024, went on to demean Trumpโs supporters, arguing that the US has โnever been this divided.โ
โGranted, itโs just 30%, but itโs a 30% that has no heart,โ Biden said, apparently referring to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll in which almost a third of respondents approved of Trumpโs attempts to address the high cost of living.
Bidenโs remarks have drawn criticism from conservatives, who alleged that the Democratic Party and the former presidentโs policies were one of the main contributing factors to divisions in American society.
