Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, President Joe Biden tore into former President Donald Trump for failing to acknowledge Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who sat in the chamber during Trump’s State of the Union address. Biden said Trump “never offered them a word of support,” and also criticized omissions including the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and deaths tied to immigration enforcement.
