And it\u2019s wrong,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>He made similar remarks to a crowd in Buffalo, calling the shooting \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d that was rooted in hate.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cA hate that through the media and politics, the internet has radicalized angry, alienated, lost and isolated individuals into falsely believing that they will be replaced,\u201d Biden said, explaining the basic idea behind the Great Replacement theory. \u201c<\/span>That\u2019s the word, replaced by the other. By people who don\u2019t look like them. And who are therefore, in a perverse ideology that they possess and being fed, lesser beings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know all of you reject the lie, I call on all Americans to reject the lie. And I condemn all of those who spread the lie for power, political gain, and for profit,\u201d he continued, tying the narrative to Charlottesville, Virginia, and noting that was what had made him decide to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what it is, we have now seen too many times the deadly and destructive violence this ideology has. We heard the chants, \u2018You will not replace us,\u2019 in Charlottesville, Virginia. \u2026 <span>When I saw those people coming out of the woods in Virginia and Charlottesville carrying torches. Accompanied by white supremacists and carrying Nazi banners.
