Presidential Debate at CNN headquarters, Atlanta GA: on Crime

Donald Trump: Police support me; Biden called Black people super-predators

TRUMP: Well, let me just go back to what he said about the police, how close the police are to him. Almost every police group in the nation from every state is supporting Donald J. Trump, almost every police group. And what he has done to the black population is horrible, including the fact that for 10 years he called them "super-predators"--in the 1990s--we can't forget that. "Super-predators" was his name. And he called it to them for 10 [years], and they've taken great offense at it, and now they see it happening.

[See FactCheck: Biden never used the term "super-predators" except to say that most Black youth were not "super-predators"].

Donald Trump: FactCheck: Biden said "most youth aren't super-predators"

(Vox.com, Oct 23, 2020); President Trump has been pushing the lie that his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, called Black people "super-predators"-- but there's no record of him doing so. During the final 2020 presidential debate, Trump repeated this accusation: "[Biden] in 1994, did such harm to the Black community and they were called, and he called them, 'super-predators' and he said that, he said it, 'super-predators,'" Trump said. In 1993 remarks given by Biden on the Senate floor, Biden referred to "predators on our streets that society has in fact, in part because of its neglect, created." however, the only reported time Biden has used the term "super-predator" is in a 1997 hearing when he said most youth WEREN'T "the so-called 'super-predators.'"
