Biden also took the opportunity to criticize Trump’s rhetoric and actions, saying that “the words of a president matter, no matter how good or bad that president is.” He went on to say that Trump’s words and actions have “fanned the flames of hate and division in our country.”
Biden also used the speech to call for an end to the “politics of division” and to urge Americans to “reject the culture of fear and intimidation” that has been fostered by the Trump administration. He also called for an end to the “politics of personal destruction” and for Americans to “embrace the spirit of understanding and respect.”
