Former Vice President Joe Biden professed shock and outrage on Thursday after President Donald Trump told supporters in Cleveland, Ohio, that Biden would “hurt the Bible” and “hurt God.”
In a statement, Biden complained about “President Trump’s decision today to profane God and to smear my faith in a political attack.”
But Biden has been smearing Trump’s faith for months for political gain. His objection is simply that Trump has turned the tables and played by the same rules.
In June, after President Trump walked across Lafayette Park and held up a Bible in front of the burned-out facade of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., Biden claimed that Trump never read the Bible: “The president held up the Bible at St. John’s church yesterday. I just wish he opened it once in a while instead of brandishing it. If he opened it, he could have learned something.”
