Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron says he doesn’t think systemic racism is a problem in the U.S., and accused President Joe Biden of aggravating racial tensions in the wake of the Derek Chauvin verdict.
Cameron was responding to Biden’s statement that systemic racism is a “stain on the soul” of the country comments made shortly after a Minnesota jury found Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd during an arrest last year.
Cameron, in a Sunday appearance on Fox News, accused Biden of throwing fuel on the fire.
“I don’t believe this country is systemically racist. What I believe is this country has always tried from the very beginning to become a more perfect union. And certainly, we’ve had our challenges throughout this nation’s history, and there’s no hiding from that,” Cameron said.
