October 23, 2020: Joe Biden remarked on Thursday night that Donald Trump has “a dog whistle about as big as a foghorn,” condemning the president’s racist and incendiary rhetoric.

“Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we’ve had in modern history,” Biden said. “He pours fuel on every single racist fire. Every single one.”

The attack from the Democratic nominee came after Trump again argued that he had done more for African Americans than any of his predecessors, with the “possible exception” of Lincoln.

Trump also criticized Biden for his role in helping craft the 1994 crime bill, and repeatedly claimed that he was the “least racist person” inside the debate hall at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.

“I can’t even see the audience because it’s so dark, but I don’t care who’s in the audience,” Trump said. “I’m the least racist person in this room.”
