Biden Takes the Gloves Off to Tear Into ‘Convicted Felon’ Trump
President Joe Biden dialed up his attacks on Donald Trump on Monday night, referring to his likely electoral opponent as a “convicted felon” for the first time and warning that the Republican would be more dangerous in a potential second term than he was the first time around.
Speaking at a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut, Biden took a tougher line in criticizing Trump after he was found guilty of 34 felony counts in his hush-money trial last week. “For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden said.
“But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice,” Biden added, according to Reuters. He went to say Trump “wants you to believe it’s all rigged,” when “nothing could be further from the truth,” the Associated Press reports.
