Trump claims Biden is 'against God' and will 'hurt the Bible'

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Thursday claimed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, is "against God" as he levied a stream of attacks on his likely opponent in the November election.

Trump painted a grim picture of a Biden presidency during a rally-style speech to supporters on the tarmac of the Cleveland airport, claiming the former vice president would follow a radical agenda.

"Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything," Trump said, standing behind a podium with the presidential seal. "Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy."

Last week in Texas, Trump baselessly claimed the "radical left" aimed to "wipe away every trace of religion from national life."

GD topic about what Trump said, with several tweets with video, and a final tweet with the response from Biden's spokesperson:

Here's a tweet from The Hill with a two-minute video clip from that part of the speech, but the tweets you'll find in the GD topic have better audio quality.

How the hell is Joe Biden going to have a logical debate with this batshit loon?
I know one thing for certain. It will be obvious who the sane adult is on stage.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited to find out the VP pick or for the debates.

“How am I supposed to have a logical debate with you? You’re a batshit loon.” Or something to that effect. I’d watch just for that. He won’t hold back like Hillary did when trump was prowling behind her. I hope trump is wearing his diaper; he might wet his pants under pressure.

I see him just turning to Trump and saying, "What?!" just before he busts out laughing his ass off, can't answer anymore questions, all future debates cancelled.

And, we then have Pres. Joe Biden because the whole country (the sane part) laughed with him.

He has run over every commandment and then backed up and spun his wheels on them.

My friend lives in Charleston and attends Sat evening mass and one week Joe Biden, post VP but not yet a presidential candidate, came in and sat in front of her. Very unassuming, very reverent. His faith is genuine. Hardly a man against God.
