Biden Goes After Trump Over His Felonies, Says He Has ‘Morals Of An Alley Cat’

President Joe Biden accused GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump of having “the morals of an alley cat” because of his parade of criminal felonies and a scandal involving an adult film actress.

Biden called Trump’s statement “outrageous” and said no president had ever talked about retribution against their political enemies like Trump had.

Trump lost two defamation cases to a writer named E. Jean Carroll, who said he had sexually assaulted her in a New York department store some time in the 1990s. Carroll was awarded $5 million in
