Biden tells black graduates Republicans ‘don’t see you in future of America’

President Joe Biden, speaking at Morehouse College’s commencement ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, criticized former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, asserting that they do not see Black Americans in the future of America.

Without naming Trump or the GOP, Biden referenced the January 6 Capitol riot, condemning those who call the insurrectionists “patriots” while recalling how Black officers defending the Capitol were disparaged.

Biden accused extremists of undermining affirmative action and diversity, claiming they aim to erase Black history.

He affirmed that Black history is integral to American history and expressed confidence in Black leadership shaping the future, the Daily Mail reported.

Reflecting on personal losses and current crises, Biden related these challenges to broader societal struggles, including assaults on democracy and the conflict in Gaza.

His speech, balancing political critique with personal reflections, was met with applause from most graduates, though one faculty member protested his appearance.
