Trump says Biden's comment to journalist was 'great insult to black community'
Donald Trump said Joe Biden "disparaged and insulted" the black community after the former vice president asked an African American journalist if he was a "junkie".
"So I just watched a clip. And Joe Biden, this morning, totally disparaged and insulted the black community. What he said is incredible. And I don't know what's going on with him, but it was a very insulting statement he made," Mr Trump aid.
"And I guess you'll figure that out. You'll see it in a little while. But it was a great insult to the black community."
Mr Trump's comments appear to be in response to an interview in which Mr Biden asked whether a reporter was a "junkie" for questioning if he had taken a cognitive test.
"No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?" Come on, man. That's like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?," Mr Biden said.
