A cartoon of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, has been condemned as racist after it was published in a national Australian newspaper. The illustration was printed in The Australian, one of the country’s only two nationally distributed daily newspapers. National politicians Andrew Giles, Mark Dreyfus and Andrew Leigh, all members of the left-leaning Australian Labor Party, denounced its publication. The Australian should pull today’s offensive cartoon off their website, and issue an immediate apology,” Leigh said in a tweet. It indulges racism, and uses it as part of its business model,” he tweeted.
