President Donald Trump and Joe Biden accused each other of failing the Black community, with Trump attacking Biden over the 1994 crime bill that Biden supported in the Senate.

Biden hit back hard, calling first for the end of mandatory sentencing for drug crimes and then going after Trump personally.

“Biden never did a thing [for the Black community] except in 1994, when he did such harm to the black community, and he called them super predators,” Trump said.

“Nobody has done more for the black community than Donald Trump,” Trump continued. “If you look, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln, the possible exception of Lincoln, nobody has done what I’ve done.”

″[Trump] is a guy who said the problem with the crime bill is there’s not enough people in jail!” Biden exclaimed. “This is a guy, where the Central Park Five, five innocent black kids, [Trump] pushed for making sure they got the death penalty. None of them were guilty of the crimes they were accused of.”

“And granted, [Trump] did in fact, he commuted 20 people’s sentences. But we commuted over 1,000 people’s sentences. The federal prison system was reduced by 38,000 people under our administration,” said Biden.

“There should be no minimum mandatory sentences in the law. That is why I’m offering $20 million to states to change their state laws,” Biden said. “No one should be going to jail because they have a drug problem. They should be going to rehabilitation, not jail. We should fundamentally change the system, and that is what I’m going to do.”
