Good grief! Trump could eat a Big Mac for lunch and he'd be accused of wanting to destroy every Burger King in America. Why can't journalists stop with the endless hit pieces and get back to just reporting the news??

Trump is again projecting his failures onto his opponent. That's all Trump has.
Trump is trying his best to split people based on Religion. Anti-Catholic propaganda is all he can do against Biden.

Pathetic for Trump to stoop to this level.
Yes Trump projecting his own issues once again.

In support of your argument, do you know what he personally feels? Has he spoken on the subject?

I am pro-Life and I am a Democrat, I really doubt that I am the only one. Show us a link that supports your assertion.
Catholic priest says he denied Joe Biden Holy Communion at Mass in South Carolina because of abortion views
Did you read the link?

In the article you reference:
He wrote that he personally opposes abortion, "but I don't think I have the right to impose my view – on something I accept as a matter of faith – on the rest of society."

Biden is also quoted as saying Roe v. Wade is the "law of the land".

This is precisely correct for a politician. I would expect no less from any religious member of our government, whether that person was a Catholic, an Evangelical Protestant, a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu or a Mormon or a pagan.

John Kennedy, our first US President of the Catholic Christian Faith said this:
“I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote - where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference - and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish - where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source - where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials - and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.

Trump could set out to destroy Burger King and y'all would bend over backwards to try and suggest Burger King is some liberal hoax to attack Trump.

Charlottesville wasn't thrown by NAMBLA



Or the KKK.



So......is it or is it not your assertion that EVERYONE there supporting the statues was a bad person?


Also, it's been reiterated many times since then that his comments were taken out of context and that he was talking about people on both sides of the issue in general.....not just the people actually in Charlottesville.


And by your logic, everyone at the riots is a rioter........

Not a "peaceful protestor".

It was thrown by White supremacists for White supremacists. I know not a single one of you Trumpeters would show up to march with BLM, so that's why I know you believe in some alignment when you show up for something.

The difference is not showing up at an event that had other people doing something you disagree with. The issue is you showing up at an event thrown by people you supposedly disagree with. so if somebody showed up to a riot, I wouldn't believe them if they said they weren't rioters. if someone shows up to a White supremacy rally, I'm not going to believe them when they say they're not White supremacist.
