Joe Biden: ‘10 to 15 Percent’ of Americans Are ‘Not Very Good People’

Joe Biden said that “there are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people,” while in attendance at an online event hosted by “The Shade Room” and moderated by actor Don Cheadle, according to Breitbart News.

During the virtual event, Joe Biden, the 2020 presumptive Democratic nominee, spoke about his plans for the Biden administration, and how he plans to push for racial equality in office.

He also scrutinized President Trump, accusing him of dividing the country, and made sure to point out that when he becomes president, he will unify and heal.

“The words a president says matter, so when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re going to get the worst of us to come out,” Biden said during the exchange.

“Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation? I don’t think the vast majority of people think that,” he continued. “There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people, but that’s not who we are. The vast majority of the people are decent, and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people — bring them together. Bring them together.”

[I] “won’t traffic in fear and division.”

“I won’t fan the flames of hate.”

Biden’s claim to be a peacemaker came just 24 hours after said he “won’t traffic in fear and division” in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd.
