Biden slams GOP for not standing up to Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Vice President Joe Biden is criticizing congressional Republicans for failing to stand up to President Donald Trump, even as Trump is "shredding" some of the nation's core values and launching an "all-out attack" on the news media and courts.
Biden says too many Republicans were silent as Trump gave "comfort and safe harbor" to neo-Nazis and white nationalists last summer in Charlottesville, Virginia. He also says Republicans have failed to protect special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Addressing House Democrats at a strategy session Wednesday at the Capitol, Biden says Republicans appear willing "to do anything to protect this president, no matter how much it means abandoning their core principles."
Biden says he's confident Democrats will take back the House majority this fall.
