Biden compares Trump's election to assassinations of RFK and MLK
Quote:Former Vice President Joe Biden likened the cultural effects of President Trump's election to the assassinations of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., in a Saturday interview with Al Sharpton.

During a discussion in South Carolina that touched on criminal justice reform, Biden argued that Trump's rise to power had awakened an entire generation to the necessity of getting involved in politics, much like the violent murders of political figures did for baby boomers in the 1960s.

"I think what’s happening now is, I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened sensibilities in this country to say ‘Whoa, maybe we can do this now, just like our generation was awakened when Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated,'” Biden claimed. "Our whole generation said I’m back in, man.”

"These millennials — they get it, Rev. And now they want to get engaged."

The comment is the latest in a string of eyebrow-raising comments from the former vice president, who recently praised his work with segregationist Democrats in the Senate as an example of the institution's bygone civility.

I would think the only thing he has felt is his Johnson! Not his King or his Kennedy.

The funniest thing in the whole thing was him calling Sharpton "Rev"

Sloe Biden keeps hardening back to a time when most in this country weren’t even alive or were very young.

Nothing screams “ I’m hip, I’m young, I’m ready for action!, remember like when JFK was assassinated?”.

Stick a fork in him. He done, Rev.
