The President traveled to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., today ….
This campaign stop was aimed at Black voters which polling says have some driffing awy from him…
President Biden sought to rally disaffected Black supporters on Monday with a fiery condemnation of former President Donald J. Trump, linking his predecessor’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election to the nation’s history of white supremacy in what he called “the old ghost in new garments.”
Speaking from the pulpit of the South’s oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church, Mr. Biden drew a direct line from slavery, the Civil War and Jim Crow to the divisions of today. Just as it was a “self-serving lie” to call the Confederate rebellion a “noble cause,” the president called Mr. Trump’s insistence that he won the election an effort to rewrite history.
“Once again, there are some in this country trying to turn a loss into a lie — a lie which, if allowed to live, will once again bring terrible damage to this country,” Mr. Biden told about 700 parishioners and other guests at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. “This time, the lie is about the 2020 election.”
The president also took a shot at Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and onetime ambassador to the United Nations who is seeking to deny Mr. Trump the Republican nomination this year. Without naming her, Mr. Biden mocked Ms. Haley for refusing at a recent campaign event to name slavery when asked what started the Civil War….

After his stop in Charleston, Mr. Biden departed for Dallas for a wake for former Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, a pioneering Black member of Congress for three decades, who died at 89 last week.
Note…
There is very little coverage of this even in the national political media which of clourse has Trump plastered ALL over it…
Joe Biden, who is a lousy public speaker, IS going to HAVE to find a way to get more air time going forward…
