Biden Asks What Trump Would Have Done if Capitol Rioters Were Black
What do you think would have happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol?” the president said at a rally in Philadelphia. “I don’t think he’d be talking about pardons.”

Typical Biden, playing the race card to distract from real issues and smear Trump without addressing his own failures.
Biden is just playing the race card to distract from his own failures and divide the country further.

Biden's hitting the nail on the head about the racial double standards in Trump's pardon promises, and it's about time we talk more openly about this injustice.
