‘Evil will not win’: Biden honors Buffalo massacre victims | National/World

BUFFALO (AP) — President Joe Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York, declaring that “evil will not win” in America.

He is showing solidarity with the community after a white supremacist targeted black people in a supermarket, leaving 10 dead.

He condemned what he called the “poison” of white supremacy and said the nation must “reject the lie” of the shooter’s so-called replacement theory. That’s the baseless claim that white people are being intentionally replaced by people of color. It’s another manifestation of the bigotry Biden has vowed to combat in his presidential campaign.

Biden says it was the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and President Donald Trump’s ambivalent response that prompted him to run.
