US Republican President Donald Trump asserted on Thursday that his Democratic opponent in November’s election, Joe Biden, is “against God,” even though Biden frequently discusses how his Catholic faith has guided his actions as a public official.
“HE IS AGAINST GOD”
With Trump trailing Biden in four recent polls in Ohio, the president is fighting to win voters in the traditional swing state as the coronavirus pandemic threatens his chances of a second term. After addressing a small crowd at a Cleveland airport on Thursday, Trump went on to deliver a campaign-style speech at a Whirlpool plant in Clyde, Ohio.
Trump says Biden opposes God and Bible WATCH
“He’s following the radical-left agenda: take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God,” Trump said about Biden in his Cleveland speech. “He’s against God.”
Trump’s accusation could solidify support from his party’s sizable conservative Christian bloc and also damage voters’ view of Biden, the first Catholic Vice President in US history.
