Biden calls for unity, but some fellow Democrats contradict message with spite toward Trump supporters | Fox News

President-elect Joe Biden made a pitch to President Trump’s supporters in his victory speech on Saturday night.  “I understand the disappointment tonight,” Biden said. “But now let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature.” Biden added: “And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They’re Americans.”  The message of unity in the president-elect’s address was consistent with much of the rhetoric of his presidential campaign. It was also in line with how Biden comported himself during his many years in the Senate — he was a dealmaking moderate, not a rancorous partisan.
