The Biden campaign is asserting a decade-old claim that former President Donald Trump was recorded saying the “N-word” while filming a presidential campaign. of apprenticeMeanwhile, they ignore the fact that President Joe Biden actually used the phrase 15 times during his Senate confirmation hearings.
Former show producer Bill Pruitt published an essay on Thursday in the far-left news and commentary website Slate in which he repeated his own accusation that Trump used the N-word while discussing one of the show’s contestants, but acknowledged that his recollection of the quote was “not verbatim” and that the alleged tape “will never be found.”

Still, with national polls showing Trump leading in battleground states, the increasingly desperate Biden-Harris campaign sent out an email highlighting Pruitt’s piece, calling it “shocking reporting.”
But Trump’s claim that he said the “N-word” stands in contrast to actual evidence that Biden has used the term at least 15 times in previous official hearings.
Breitbart News reported that according to Senate transcripts, Biden used the N-word 13 times during a series of hearings considering President Reagan’s appointees in 1985, when he was a senator.
Biden was questioning candidate William Reynolds about a redistricting bill he endorsed that included racist comments made by then-Representative Charles Emile Bruneau (R-N.Y.), who twice used the N-word. Biden used the N-word 13 times during the hearing and repeatedly brought up Bruneau’s comments.

But then two instances emerged in which Biden did not quote anyone else.
At a Senate hearing on July 16, 1973, he said:
And you keep saying it, and I don’t mean it as an argument. My point is, the best test of whether a program is going to make sense for a community is to hold it accountable to local elected officials, and if the city decides it’s not worth it, they’re not going to stick around for long. Meaningful to whom? If it’s meant for poor people, and it happens to infringe on their beautiful neighborhoods, they’re not going to stick around. In neighborhoods like where I live, they’re going to stand up. I think my neighborhood is as enlightened as any in the country, and the education level is the second highest in the nation, county-wise. And people are going to stand up and say, “I love my fellow man, and I’m concerned about his housing, but it happens to have a sewer problem here,” or, “It happens to have a school problem, it happens to have six million other problems.” And they’re saying the same thing in those areas, even my less educated constituents in certain parts of the city, saying, “We don’t want black people here. You know that?” These are just two different ways of saying the same thing. And I haven’t met many local government officials who want to be on the second edition of “Profiles in Courageous People.” There aren’t many of them.
Biden also used the phrase at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs on March 11, 1976.
In other words, as I think you would agree, discrimination has become very subtle.In other words, as I think you would agree, discrimination has become very subtle.It’s not very fashionable to say, “I don’t like black people,” as George Wallace did in the 1950s. We don’t say that anymore. We say we care about our black brothers and sisters, we’re very concerned, and yet we’re quietly doing the same thing we did when we said the exact opposite and used discriminatory language. I think it’s harder today to expose discrimination, because the people who are actually bigots have become very good at getting around the law. So your job is harder.
As Breitbart News’ Matthew Boyle reported, Biden has a checkered history on race, has made racist comments, and has a history of associating with and praising racists.
The Biden campaign’s push for the N-word hoax comes as polls show Biden losing support among black voters, a key Democratic voting bloc. Those polls also show Trump gaining support, particularly among black men.
POLITICO On Thursday, the paper reported that “prominent black officials are warning the Biden campaign that the president’s efforts to keep black voters firmly and enthusiastically in his electoral coalition are not working, and time is running out to get this message across.”
POLITICO Also, The Wall Street Journal A poll in seven battleground states found that 30 percent of black men said they “definitely or probably” intended to vote for Trump.
Trump recently held a rally in the Bronx, a heavily black and Hispanic neighborhood, drawing an estimated crowd of 25,000.
