Joe Biden on Buffalo shooting: 'White supremacy is a poison'

Guardian, 18 May 2022
Joe Biden has condemned those who spread white supremacist lies 'for power, political gain and for profit' during a visit to Buffalo, New York, where 10 people were killed in a racist shooting last Saturday. In emotional and pointed remarks, the US president called white supremacy a poison that is 'running through our body politic, and it’s been allowed to fester and grow right in front of our eyes'. He added to applause: 'I call on all Americans to reject the lie and I condemn those who spread the lie for power, political gain, and for profit'
