Joe Biden’s comments about his past work with segregationists “evoked a terrible power dynamic” and showed “a terrible lack of understanding”, rival presidential contender Cory Booker said on Sunday. Booker, who is African American, led criticism of Biden’s remarks and said the former vice-president should apologise. I have a lot of respect for Joe Biden and a gratitude towards him, and … I have to … be candid with him, to speak truth to power. “If your question is [do] I think Joe Biden is a racist?” he asked.
