Under Joe Biden we are seeing the creation of an “artificial rift, particularly a racial rift”, which could lead to the “downfall” of America, according to documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz.

“The split we’re seeing in our country is really problematic,” Mr Horowitz told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“I don’t know - in the short term for sure, I don’t even know in the median term – how we heal this divide.”

Mr Horowitz said the United States is currently under a president who “claimed he was running to heal this divide”.

“I don’t know what we can do,” he said.

“This is scary times.”
