Biden responds to Trump's 'least racist' claim: 'Abraham Lincoln over here'

Donald Trump and Joe Biden have gotten in a racism stoush during the presidential debate when Trump claimed, "I'm the least racist person in this room,” and Biden sarcastically responded: "Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history”.

I actually laughed during this part of the debate. I just wasn't expecting that.

[summerc]

"C'MON this guy has a dog whistle about as big as a fog horn"
Nobody speaks that dinosaur slang anymore Joe😅

This was the highlight of the debate for me .

[themobseat]

Biden thought he was debating Abraham Lincoln, and he was scared John Wilkes Booth might be in the audience.

"YOU said you were Abraham Lincoln"... "Hitler was our friend" 😹😹

[adcurry]

That's simply the reason l never support Biden even for one second! He needs a caregiver instead of the presidential seat!

[elpurobean]

[zaccy]

Well, in Biden's defense, he's been in the Senate for 180 years.
He was 21 years into his political career when Lincoln became President.
He probably just had a momentary flashback to the 1860's.

Trump really loves his invisible accordion.

[ryanmervin]

Donald trump is Abraham Lincoln reincarnated

[ryanthompson]

Sorry Abraham. Freeing slaves was not good enough for America.

[joewang]

Joe's drugs is weaning off toward send of debate. He was about to shut down and get short-circuited

[Edzelo]

From being called hitler to being called Abe Lincoln...

[ChrisHavok]

This is exactly why Trump should've let Biden speak during the first debate. Joe don't even know where he is

[jpara]

Glad Trump called out dementia Joe on his mixup of Abe Lincoln, he forgot to also ask “Who are the poor boys Joe?”
