Specifically, West highlights Biden&#8217;s support for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 1994, a legislation that not only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-jamaal-bowman-pushes-defunding-police-after-requesting-special-police-protection-at-his-home\/\" title=\"Democrat Jamaal Bowman Pushes Defunding Police After Requesting Special Police Protection At His Home\">increased police presence<\/a> but also allocated additional funding for prisons.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think you&#8217;ll think Joe Biden contributed to a crime against humanity when he became the architect of the mass incarceration regime in the 1990s,&#8221; West told the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve taught in prison for 41 years. And the level of barbarity in our prisons has something to do with that crime bill that he put forward,&#8221; West said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>West argues that the black community is a &#8220;low priority&#8221; for Biden, accusing him of merely placing &#8220;Black faces in high places&#8221; without enacting substantial change.<\/p>\n<p>However, West&#8217;s criticisms extend beyond race-related issues. The liberal philosopher also echoes Republican complaints about the functioning of the president&#8217;s administration. West questions why the Secret Service failed to identify the individual responsible for bringing a bag of cocaine into the White House, an incident that led to a partial evacuation until the substance could be identified.<\/p>\n<p>As a third<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-mexico-congressional-election-poses-early-test-for-democrats\/\" title=\"New Mexico Congressional Election Poses Early Test for Democrats\">-party candidate<\/a> in the upcoming 2024 elections, West&#8217;s presence has raised concerns among political analysts. They fear that his candidacy could siphon significant votes away from the Democrats, potentially benefiting a Republican candidate.<\/p>\n<p>West justifies his decision to run as a third-party candidate by arguing that having a Democrat in office would only delay the inevitable rise of fascism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTrump is leading us toward a second civil war, Biden is leading us toward a third world war. So I am not excited about either choice,\u201d West said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to just support a caretaker government against fascism every four years because sooner or later, the fascists will still win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornel West, a potential Green Party candidate, condemned President Biden&#8217;s racial track record as a &#8220;crime against humanity.&#8221; As a prominent left-wing critic and formidable opponent, West criticized Biden&#8217;s previous policies towards the black community, including his support for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1973979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1973978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1973978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1973978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1973978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1973979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1973978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1973978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1973978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
