President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo’s grieving families on Tuesday, then exhorted the nation to reject what he angrily labeled the poison of white supremacy.
Speaking to victims’ families, local officials and first responders, Biden declared that America’s diversity is its strength, and warned that the nation must not be be distorted by a “hateful minority.” He promised to “expose” those who promote hateful ideology.
As long as he is president, he said, “I’m going to fight like hell and we’re going to expose everybody.” Replacement theory is a racist ideology, which has moved from white nationalist circles to mainstream, that alleges white people and their influence are being intentionally “replaced” by people of color through immigration and higher birth rates.
Asked about gun legislation, Biden said at the airport, “It’s going to be very difficult. … I’m not going to give up trying.” In his remarks Tuesday, Biden paid tribute to each of the 10 people who lost their lives, describing them as beacons of their community and deeply committed to family.The shooter’s writings echoed those of the white supremacists who marched with torches in 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia, a scene that Biden said inspiredagainst President Donald Trump in 2020 and that drove him to join what he calls the “battle for the soul of America.
The replacement claims are often interwoven with antisemitism, with Jews identified as the culprits. During the 2017 “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, white supremacists chanted “Jews will not replace us.”
