OPINION
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who promised to bring civility back to politics, lashed out at President Trump from the pulpit of a black Baptist church in Mississippi.
He compared the president to a boll weevil.
“I’m gonna get clobbered for saying this,” he told the congregation at New Hope Baptist Church. “We kinda got a boll weevil we gotta rid of.”
For you folks who live in Brooklyn, the boll weevil is a beetle which feeds on cotton buds and flowers.
And you just heard the former vice president tell a bunch of cheering “Christians” that he wanted to exterminate President Trump like an insect.
I wonder if any Never-Trump Baptist leaders will condemn the vice president for spewing hate from the pulpit of a Baptist Church?
