Biden Derides Trump Fan ‘F- You’ Flags And Little Kids ‘Giving The Middle Finger’ At Rally: ‘It Demeans Us!’

President Joe Biden denounced profane pro-Trump displays during a recent rally, lamenting “F- You” banners and middle finger salutes that “demean” America.

During a rally in Philadelphia last week, the president went after Trump, but shied away from the “loser” taunts that his campaign has been telegraphing. Instead, he attacked Trump on policy — and in one section lamented the coarsening of politics that has accompanied him:

Some of you may remember when I ran in 2020, I got criticized by the press for saying I was running for three reasons: one, to restore the soul of America; two, to build the middle class so we can begin to grow again and everybody have an even chance; and, three, to unite the country. They’re still my goals. They’re still my goals.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: That’s why you’re my President, Joe! (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you.

Because the soul of the country is who we are. Look, you know, did you ever think — those of you who are over 40 — (laughter) — did you ever think we’d be in a situation where we talk to each other like we talk these days? Where you see things that we see that, no matter how tense things were — and they’re really tough in other parts of our history — when you ride down the street, and there’s a Trump banner with a “F- you” on it and a little — and a six-year-old kid putting up his middle finger.

Did you ever se- — no, I’m serious. Did you every think you’d hear people talk the way they do?

Look, it demeans — it demeans who we are. That’s not who Amer- — that’s not America.

Those between — tho- — look, those of us who want to pull America back at the past and those who want to move into the future.

My lifetime has taught me to embrace the future — I mean it sincerely — freedom, democracy, a future based on the core values that have defined America: honesty, decency, fairness, equality, just treating people just fairly. No, I really mean it. We don’t always live up, but that — there — that — that’s the American creed.

Donald Trump sees the story differently. He sees a story of resentment, revenge, retribution.
