#Mike Pence calls Biden a ‘trojan horse for a radical agenda’

Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is a “trojan horse” for leftwing radicals.

“It’s clear Joe Biden would be nothing more than an autopen president, a trojan horse for a radical agenda,” Pence said during a campaign speech in Wisconsin.

Pence echoed President Trump’s recent attacks on Biden, saying he would unleash “an avalanche” of regulations and raise taxes by $4 trillion while being weak on crime and China.

Pence tied Biden to his leftwing challenger in the Democratic primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders (i-Vt.), with whom Biden this month released a “unity platform”

“I thought Joe Biden won the Democratic primaries. But looking at their unity agenda, it looks to me like Bernie won,” Pence said. “When you look at their agenda. The only thing and ended up unifying was Joe Biden to the radical left.”

Pence continued: “It’s no wonder the socialist Bernie Sanders said that if Joe Biden was elected he would, in his words, transform the country and be ‘the most progressive president in nearly a century’. The Biden-Sanders agenda would set America on the path of socialism and decline.”

The Biden-Sanders unity agenda sidestepped key Sanders priorities such as free college and single-payer health insurance but proposes eliminating carbon emissions for electricity production by 2035 and banning for-profit charter schools.

Trump regularly describes Biden, 77, as senile and likely to be placed in “a home” while “other people” run the country.

Trump delivered a pair of campaign-style speeches from the White House this week seeking to define Biden as willing to impose new regulations while getting rid of suburbs and prisons. National polls show Trump trailing Biden amid the coronavirus pandemic, racial unrest and high unemployment.
