As Mary wrote earlier today, Joe Biden officially launched his 2020 presidential campaign with a video and tweet evoking the August 2017 Charlottesville riots.
On Trump's remarks in the aftermath of Charlottesville, Biden said:
"He said there were, quote, 'Some very fine people on both sides.' Very fine people on both sides? With those words the president of the United States assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it. And in that moment I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any other I’d seen in my lifetime."
