Trump dismissed a second tweet seven minutes later, implying that there was more to the story behind Obama waiting until his former vice president, Joe Biden, removed a full field of Democratic White House members before supporting him.
‘Why did he refuse to SLOWLY CLOSE, SO THAT IT OVERCOMES EVERYTHING, AND RARELY WHEN? Why did he try not to run him? “the president wrote.
He later waited until Harris formally accepted her nomination as Biden’s running mate, making her the first Black woman and the first Asian American to run for president of a major party.
“I know a predator when I see one,” Harris said of the president in her nomination speech, referring to her procedural background.
Trump gave back the advantage by trying to recreate tensions between Harris and Biden from last year’s primary, mischaracterizing a high-profile clash over Biden’s record of racial problems.
“BUT DOESN’T HER A RACIST ??? THAT SEE NOT SEE THEY BECOME INCOMPETENT ??? “Trump asked.
But Harris specifically noted when she questioned Biden about buses that she did not consider the former vice president to be racist. She also never called Biden incomplete.
Trump’s tweets come on Wednesday because he has been trying to block the Democratic convention for much of this week, stopping campaigns in three potential swing states on Monday and Tuesday, while holding a coronavirus briefing earlier Wednesday, in which he announced his latest attempt to scrap Iran’s nuclear deal.
