On Monday, users on Twitter slammed President Donald Trump after he claimed that he is more progressive than 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.

In an attempt to positively pit himself against Biden, Trump claimed that he was the better candidate for African American voters because he approved of the 2018 criminal justice reform bill, while Biden helped pass the 1994 crime act.

However, people reminded Trump of his dark past and noted that at one point Trump didn’t even allow African Americans into his hotels. He has also been associated with exploiting and threatening the five young minority men involved in the Central Park 5 case.

Thousands of kids have been stolen from their parents with no plan in place to reunite them, and at least 6 kids have died in U.S custody.

I’m not so sure black people are gonna be “ble” to vote for you either. They tend to hate White Nationalists.

Your presidency is the dark period we are going through, now. Soon the clouds will break, you will no longer be president, and Americans will be able to work together to fix the vast damage you have inflicted on our country.

What is hypocrisy? The guy who called for the lynching of 5 Black teens & still won’t accept their exonerations, urged police to use *more excessive force, & wants the death penalty for drug sale, lecturing anyone on criminal justice policy. pic.twitter.com/jueuDJ8A0Z
