um there is a woman named Laura lumer who recently tweeted that if the vice president wins the election the White House will smell like hurry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center uh among other things she recently traveled with the former president and I wonder if President Biden has read these remarks and his response let me tell you our our response from here it is uh repugnant these types of comments it is unamerican uh to say these types of things exactly uh the kind of hateful uh and divisive rhetor rhetoric that we should denounce and we should not uh should not be part of the fabric uh of this country it doesn't matter what your political views are uh you should stand and condemn and condemn these types of uh just repugnant repugnant words uh no leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness uh this kind of racist poison that's what this is and who continues to Fan these types of dangerous and insulting conspiracy theories like the false notion like the false notion that the tragic 9/11 attacks were an inside job we were all with you all saw uh leaders and family members tell their stories yesterday especially on at Ground Zero and New York City we all I'm sure some many of us have personal stories of that day 911 of 2021 and more than 2,000 lives were lost 2,000 and to say that that it's an inside job and to spread that is insulting insulting and we should not uh no leader should be connected to that or spreading that and as the president Bay has always said it's our duty it is our duty As Americans to give hate no no Safe Harbor and to bring the country together around our shared values and to recognize and appreciate the unique strength that our diversity gives us as a nation he says this all the time our diversity is our strength and that's what we should be following on a related note during the debate Trump spread false claims and lies about immigrants eating pet in Springfield Ohio the city manager disputed those false claims and today City Hall was evacuated after a bomb threat was sent to City agencies and media Outlets does President Biden believe Trump's words and rhetoric contributed to those threats today so look I I want to be super mindful uh we aware of the reports of a bombing threat as you just stated in uh Springfield Ohio uh City Hall uh local police obviously is investigating the situation and we encourage everyone to to follow the public safety guidance I don't want to speculate from here uh the source of the bomb threat uh but I do want to take a step back I think it's important that all of us take a step back here uh and and just lean on the facts here the Springfield Ohio police department has debunked this very bizarre and very hateful smear that's out there uh it is what is happening here is an attempt to tear apart communities and disrespect let's not forget also disrespecting law enforcement and that is the opposite of what our country deserves uh it is undignified and an insult to all of us as Americans not just one Community but to all of us as Americans and it is spreading filth that makes the lives of the communities that are being smeared here it puts their lives in danger and uh and it is just uh it is just hate speech that's what it is and some of your news some of the news organizations here have reported uh that uh uh some Haitians Haitians American Haitian immigrants are fearing fearing for their safety right now uh because a result of conspiracy theory this is what this is so instead of leaders trying to bring us together uh around our shared values which is something that the president believes and and says all the time as I just stated uh and you know the president and the vice president that's what they want to see they want to see us come together in our shared values in a respectful way and I I will say one more thing and I and I think if you guys can hear me out for one second like maybe we should not have leaders who fall for fake Internet conspiracy theories we should think about that maybe we should not have leaders who do that our country deserves better okay [Music]
