A visibly frail Joe Biden found the strength to rip adjudicated rapist and hush money silencer, Donald Trump, forcefully asserting at the debate stage Thursday night: “You have the morals of an alley cat!” Biden’s forceful attack came as a counter to Trump, who said he would have successful “retribution” over his political rivals if elected.
“The idea that you have a right to seek retribution against any American just because you’re president is wrong. It’s simply wrong. No president’s ever spoken like that before. No president in our history has spoken like that before.”
Biden then laid into Trump over his legal woes. “How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public, for doing a whole range of things? For having sex with a porn star while your wife was pregnant? I mean, what are you talking about? You have the morals of an alley cat!”
Trump denied having sex with a porn star and insisted that the hush money case in New York City had a “terrible judge” and that he plans to win his appeal, reported The New York Times.
Biden’s comments come at a time when Trump’s legal battles are mounting. The former president faces numerous charges, from civil penalties related to sexual misconduct to allegations of paying hush money to silence a porn star. Despite these allegations, Trump continues to assert his innocence and has vowed to fight all charges in court.
The debate highlighted the deep animosity between the two candidates. Biden’s aggressive stance reflected the frustration of many Democrats who feel that Trump’s actions and rhetoric have damaged the political landscape. On the other hand, Trump’s supporters remain steadfast, often dismissing the legal issues as politically motivated attacks.
Biden’s performance, while forceful in moments, also showed signs of his age, with some moments where he appeared tired and frail. This has led to concerns among Democrats about his ability to maintain the energy required for a rigorous campaign. However, his direct and personal attacks on Trump resonated with many viewers who are looking for a strong counter to Trump’s often combative style.
As the debate ended, it was clear that the battle lines for the upcoming election were sharply drawn. Biden’s call for moral accountability and Trump’s defiance in the face of legal challenges set the stage for what promises to be a contentious and closely watched election season. The debate has only intensified the scrutiny on both candidates, with each side rallying their base for the fight ahead.
