Vice President Biden officially entered the general election fray Monday, tearing into Donald Trump’s foreign policy positions in a blistering speech to a Washington think tank.
In a speech to the Center for New American Security, Biden delivered a point-by-point rebuttal of Trump’s ideas on immigration and terrorism, blasting the mogul’s “politics of fear and intolerance.”
“Proposals to ban Muslims from entering the United States or slandering entire religious communities as complicit in terrorism, calls into question America’s status as the greatest democracy in the history of the world,” Biden said without mentioning Trump by name.
“Adopting the tactics of our enemies — using torture, threatening to kill innocent family members, indiscriminately bombing civilian populations — not only violates our values, it’s deeply damaging to our security,” Biden said.
“If we build walls and disrespect our closest neighbors, we will quickly see all this progress disappear, replaced by a return of anti-Americanism and a corrosive rift throughout our hemisphere,” he added, explaining that demonizing the world’s Muslims population of 1.4 billion would actually help the Islamic State group by playing “into the very narrative of extremists.”
“Why in God’s name are we giving them what they want,” he said.
The speech comes as the White House has become a more prominent part of the election.
Earlier this month, both Biden and Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton, and both Democrats are expected to start campaigning aggressively for her in the coming days.
