前总统乔·拜登周五指责总统唐纳德·特朗普试图“抹去真相”并挥霍美国作为世界领袖的地位。
“特朗普试图抹去的不仅仅是我的政绩，” 拜登在谈到特朗普试图废除《平价医疗法案》的努力时，对南卡罗来纳州民主党人表示。
“他试图抹去公平、公正、历史和真相，”他继续说道，并引用了特朗普上任以来奴隶制相关内容从博物馆和国家公园中被删除或篡改的事例。
“伟大的国家不会掩盖真相，” 拜登反驳道，“它们会直面真相。这是一个伟大的国家。”

去年夏天，特朗普曾发文称：“史密森尼学会完全失控，它们讨论的全是美国有多糟糕、奴隶制有多恶劣、被压迫者有多一事无成——丝毫不提成功、光明和未来。”
他还下令对史密森尼学会进行审查，确保其展览内容符合“美国例外论”的庆祝主题。
拜登是周五南卡罗来纳州民主党举办“感谢”活动的特邀嘉宾。该活动组织者曾在六年前帮助重振他的总统竞选活动。拜登称美国目前正处于“黑暗时期”。
“我们的未来确实岌岌可危，” 他表示，“我们必须毫无愧色地为国家而战。”
拜登还对即将到来的中期选举发出警告，称特朗普“试图窃取选举，因为他知道自己无法赢得你们的选票，所以他会竭尽所能阻止你们投票……记住我的话。我希望我是错的。”
他说，选民对特朗普了解得越多，“就越不喜欢他”。
“他们不喜欢他提高医疗成本、反对《平价医疗法案》，他们更不会喜欢明尼苏达州发生的事：大量移民与海关执法局（ICE）探员将人从家中拖出，甚至在街上杀害了两人，”他抨击道。

83岁的拜登补充道：“他们不认为总统应该成为国王或独裁者。”
他表示，正因如此，民主党正在一些“你永远想不到的地方”获胜。
“所以，我们有理由抱有希望，因为纵观历史，在重大危机时刻，美国人总能召唤人性中更美好的一面，将国家从深渊中拉回。”
拜登还预测民主党将在11月重新掌控参议院和众议院。
拜登吹嘘称，他认识的国家元首比历史上任何其他总统都多，并补充道：“美国人知道他们有一位相信、尊重并遵循宪法的总统。”
他引用皮尤研究中心的一项民调称，美国“在全球的声誉急剧下降”，声称“我们不再是过去的美国了”。
他补充说，如果美国不再领导世界，那么俄罗斯或中国可能会取而代之。

拜登还抨击特朗普周二的国情咨文演讲遗漏了关键内容。
“这个人讲了将近两个小时，却从未提及普京入侵乌克兰一周年，” 拜登谴责道，“一次都没有。”
他还指出，总统没有提到今年早些时候在明尼阿波利斯被ICE探员杀害的美国人雷尼·古德（Renee Good）和亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti），“甚至没有向他们的家人表示一丝安慰”。
“他没有表示任何支持，甚至在整个演讲期间，面对坐在面前的爱泼斯坦受害者，他也没有说一句话，”拜登说道，指的是坐在听众席中的杰弗里·爱泼斯坦幸存者，“他从未承认过他们。”

Former President Joe Biden on Friday accused President Donald Trump of attempting to “erase the truth” and squandering the United States’ role as the leader of the world.
“It’s not just my record Trump’s trying to erase,” Biden told South Carolina Democrats, while talking about the president’s efforts to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
“He’s trying to erase fairness, equity, history, the truth,” he continued, citing incidents in which information about slavery has been removed or altered from museums and national parks since Trump took office.
“Great nations don’t bury the truth, Biden balked. “They face it. This is a great nation.”

Last summer, Trump wrote that “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”
He also ordered a review of the Smithsonian to make sure its exhibits align with celebrating “American exceptionalism.”
Biden — the guest of honor at Friday’s “thank you” event organized by state Dems who helped resuscitate his presidential campaign six years ago — claimed the U.S. is currently living in “dark days.”
**”Our future is literally on the line,” he said. “We have to be unapologetic about fighting for our country.”
Biden also issued a warning about the upcoming midterms, claiming that Trump is “trying to steal the election because he knows he can’t win your vote, so he’s going to do everything he can to prevent you from wanting to vote. … Mark my words. I hope I’m wrong.”
He said the more that voters see of Trump, the “less they like him.”
“They don’t like that he’s raising health care costs, fighting against the Affordable Care Act, and they sure as hell don’t like what they saw in Minnesota: Mass ICE agents pulling people out of their homes and literally murdering two people in the street,” he swiped.

Biden, 83, added, “They don’t believe the president should be king or dictator.”
He said because of this, Democrats are winning in places “you’d never expect.”
“So, we have reason to be hopeful, because time and again throughout history, in the moments of great crisis, Americans have summoned the better angels of our nature and brought our country back from the abyss.”
Biden also predicted that Democrats would take back both the Senate and House of Representatives in November.
Biden boasted that he knew more heads of state than any other president in history, adding, “Americans knew they had a president who believed in, respected and followed the Constitution.”
Citing a Pew Research Poll that he said showed a “dramatic drop in our reputation around the world,” he claimed, “We’re no longer the way we were.”
He added if the U.S. doesn’t lead the world, it could be Russia or China that does.

Biden also blasted Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday for what he left out.
“The guy talks for almost two hours but never mentioned the anniversary of Putin invading Ukraine,” Biden admonished. “Never once.”
He also noted that the president didn’t mention Renee Good or Alex Pretti, the Americans who were killed by ICE agents earlier this year in Minneapolis, “or offer even a word of solace to their families.”
“He doesn’t offer a word of support, even recognition to Epstein’s victims sitting in front of him during the entire time,” Biden said, mentioning the Jeffrey Epstein survivors who were in the audience for the speech. “He never acknowledged them.”
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
