Biden compares Trump's 'white power' retweet to Charlottesville remarks

Joe Biden compared President Trump's recent retweet of a video featuring a man shouting the phrase "white power" to the president's response to the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"Today the President shared a video of people shouting 'white power' and said they were 'great.' Just like he did after Charlottesville," Biden tweeted on Sunday. "We’re in a battle for the soul of the nation — and the President has picked a side. But make no mistake: it’s a battle we will win."

A White House spokesman said earlier that Trump did not hear the man shout "white power" in the clip, which has since been removed from the president's Twitter page. He claimed that Trump was focused on the "enthusiasm" of his supporters in the video and not on the racial statement made by the man. In his caption for the retweet, Trump addressed the supporters and not the remark that was made.

"Thank you to the great people of The Villages,” he wrote. “The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!“
