Your son Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from a Russian billionaire who was married to the former mayor of Moscow. He also had a joint bank account with a Chinese national that financed $100,000 in credit card purchases around the world. This all happened while you were Vice President. Why would people connected to the Russian and Chinese governments want to give your son millions of dollars?
You recently said you “got started” at Delaware State University, an HBCU. The school says they have no record of you ever attending. What did you major in there?
In June you said you were vetting your own potential Supreme Court picks and promised you would release your own list. Now you say you won’t release a list. Why go back on your pledge?
Your running mate Kamala Harris said last year that she was open to adding as many as 4 seats to the Supreme Court. Now more leading Democrats are saying your party should pack the Supreme Court if they get the chance. Are you refusing to answer whether you will go along with this radical plan because you are too weak to stand up to it?
In January 2017, you said that Democrats should not block President Trump’s nominees for the Supreme Court. You said you believe the Constitution “requires” the Senate “to give the nominee a hearing and a vote.” In 2016 you said “would go forward with the confirmation process” of a Supreme Court nominee “even a few months before a presidential election … just as the Constitution requires." Now you say the Constitution requires the exact opposite. How do you reconcile that change?
In 2008 you promised Americans that if they made less than $250,000 they would not pay a penny more in taxes. You broke that promise and imposed new taxes that directly impacted middle-class Americans. Now you’re claiming you won’t raise taxes on anyone making more than 400,000. Why should voters believe you now, especially since you’ve said you will reinstate the individual mandate tax?
As Vice President, you oversaw the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression. What would you do differently if you were elected?
Your plan would raise the U.S. business tax rate higher than China’s rate. Won’t that make it more expensive for companies to do business in America and ultimately send jobs overseas?
President Trump imposed restrictions on travel from China on January 31 to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Why did it take you two months to say you supported that decision?
In 2008 you and Barack Obama promised to fully fund the federal COPS program, which provides resources to local law enforcement. But funding for this program was cut while you were vice president, despite your promise. Why did you fail to keep your word?
Earlier this year your campaign staff donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that bailed out of a jail a rioter who shot at police officers and other violent criminals and sexual predators. Your running mate Kamala Harris also urged people to donate to that organization and is still raising money for it. Do you condone that?
You say if you’re elected you’ll push to give citizenship to the 11 million undocumented people in our country. Why do you believe they should receive Medicare and Social Security benefits?
When you were running for president in 2007, both you and Obama pledged to renegotiate NAFTA, a promise you did not keep when you were in office. You recently blamed Republicans for this, saying they wouldn’t go along with it, but Democrats controlled Congress in 2009 when the Obama Administration announced it would not even try to change NAFTA. So why did you fail to keep your word?
When you voted to give China “most favored nation” trade status in 2000, you said you did not foresee “the collapse of the American manufacturing economy” because of it. But by one estimate, it led to the loss of 1 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Do you acknowledge that your vote to give China most favored nation trade status was a mistake that hurt American workers?
The 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic infected 60 million Americans when you were VP, and the federal government depleted its strategic stockpile of N95 masks in response. A fact check by USA Today found that your administration made no effort to replenish the stockpile of masks, despite warnings from experts. Do you accept responsibility for that failure, which left America unprepared for another pandemic?
Your campaign says it is a “lie” that “the Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion” ticket “in U.S. history.” Are there any restrictions on abortion that you support, and if so, please be specific?
You said the N-word 13 times during a 1985 Senate nomination fight, when you were quoting something attributed to someone else. Do you think that was appropriate to do? Is that the only time you’ve said the N-word?
您的兒子獵人·拜登(Hunter Biden)從俄羅斯億萬富翁那裡獲得了350萬美元的電匯,後者嫁給了莫斯科前市長。他還與一個中國人有一個共同的銀行賬戶,為世界各地的信用卡購買交易提供了100,000美元的資金。這一切都是在您擔任副總裁時發生的。為什麼與俄羅斯和中國政府有聯繫的人想給您的兒子數百萬美元?
您最近說過,您在HBCU的特拉華州立大學“入門”。學校說他們沒有你參加的記錄。你在那裡主修什麼?
六月,您說過您正在審查自己可能的最高法院選秀權,並承諾將發布自己的名單。現在,您說您不會發布列表。為什麼要重新履行您的承諾?
您的競選伴侶卡瑪拉•哈里斯(Kamala Harris)去年說,她願意向最高法院增加多達4個席位。現在,更多的領先民主黨人說,如果他們有機會,您的政黨應該打包最高法院。您是否拒絕回答您是否會因為根本太虛弱而無法接受這一激進計劃?
您在2017年1月說過,民主黨人不應該阻止特朗普總統提名的最高法院法官。您說過,您相信憲法“要求”參議院“給被提名人進行聽證和投票。” 在2016年,您說“將繼續進行最高法院候選人的確認程序”,“甚至在總統選舉之前的幾個月……正如《憲法》所要求的。”現在您說《憲法》要求完全相反。如何調和這一點?更改?
您在2008年向美國人許諾,如果他們的年收入不足25萬美元,他們將不會多付一分錢的稅。您違反了諾言,並徵收了直接影響中產階級美國人的新稅。現在,您聲稱您不會對收入超過40萬的任何人提高稅收。為什麼選民現在應該相信您,尤其是自從您說過將恢復個人法定稅款以來?
作為副總統,您監督了自大蕭條以來最疲軟的經濟復甦。如果當選,您會做些什麼?
您的計劃將把美國營業稅率提高到高於中國的稅率。這是否會使公司在美國開展業務並最終向海外派遣工作變得更加昂貴?
特朗普總統於1月31日對從中國來的旅行實施了限制,以打擊冠狀病毒的傳播。為什麼要花兩個月才能說您支持該決定?
在2008年,您和巴拉克·奧巴馬(Barack Obama)承諾全額資助聯邦COPS計劃,該計劃為當地執法部門提供資源。但是,儘管您答應了,但在您擔任副總裁期間,該計劃的資金卻被削減了。你為什麼不遵守諾言?
今年早些時候,您的競選工作人員向明尼蘇達州自由基金會捐款,該組織從監獄中救出了一名暴徒,向警察,其他暴力罪犯和性掠食者開槍。您的競選夥伴卡馬拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)也敦促人們向該組織捐款,並且仍在為該組織籌集資金。你寬恕了嗎?
您說如果當選將推動我們國家的1100萬無證件公民獲得公民身份。您為什麼認為他們應該獲得醫療保險和社會保障福利?
當您在2007年競選總統時,您和奧巴馬都承諾重新談判北美自由貿易協定,這是您上任時沒有遵守的諾言。您最近將此歸咎於共和黨人,說他們不會這樣做,但是民主黨人在2009年控制了國會,當時奧巴馬政府宣布甚至不打算改變北美自由貿易協定。那你為什麼不遵守諾言呢?
當您在2000年投票決定給予中國“最惠國”貿易地位時,您說您並沒有因此而預見到“美國製造業經濟的崩潰”。但是據估計,這導致美國失去了100萬個製造業就業機會。您是否承認您對中國給予最惠國待遇的投票是對美國工人造成傷害的錯誤?
當您擔任副總裁時,2009年的H1N1豬流感大流行感染了6000萬美國人,而作為回應,聯邦政府耗盡了N95口罩的戰略庫存。《今日美國》的事實調查發現,儘管有專家警告,您的政府仍未努力補充口罩的庫存。您是否對這次失敗負責,而這次失敗使美國沒有為另一場大流行做好準備?
您的競選活動說,“ Biden-Harris機票是美國歷史上最徹底的墮胎”機票是一個“謊言”。您支持的墮胎有任何限制,如果有,請具體說明?
您在1985年參議院提名之戰中說了13次N字,當時您引用的是別人的話。您認為這樣做合適嗎?那是您唯一一次說過N字嗎?
