Left-wing activist and presidential candidate in 2024 Cornel West has slammed President Joe Biden, accusing the octogenarian of committing ‘crimes against humanity’ against black people.
West, 70, railed against Biden’s support of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 which increased funding for prisons and police officer recruitment in an interview with the New York Post.
‘Well, I think you’ll think Joe Biden contributed to a crime against humanity when he became the architect of the mass incarceration regime in the 1990s,’ West told the tabloid.
‘Trump is leading us toward a second civil war, Biden is leading us toward a third world war. So I am not excited about either choice. I don’t want to just support a caretaker government against fascism every four years because sooner or later, the fascists will still win,’ he told the Post.
