@cspanofficial: Former President Biden on Friday cast the fight for LGBTQ rights as part of the broader struggle for equality in America.   “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to distort and derail our fight for equality. They’re trying to turn it into something scary, something sinister. But, folks, it’s really not about anything that’s all that complicated,” he said at the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s leadership conference in Washington, DC.   The former president said the effort is about ensuring every American has the “opportunity to be treated with basic decency, dignity and respect.”   “This administration is trying to use those issues as a wedge to further divide the country. But there’s nothing more American than the notion of equality,” he said. #joebiden #trump #cspan
