US President Joe Biden accuses his rival Donald Trump of harboring contempt for the country’s Spanish speakers, so-called Latinos or Hispanics.
– I mean, he despises Latinos, Biden said in an interview with the Spanish-language media company Univison, which was broadcast on Tuesday.
He referred to ex-president Trump’s repeated use of anti-immigrant rhetoric where he claimed, among other things, that migrants “poison the blood of our country”.
