BIDEN RESPONDS TO THE TRUMP RIOTS



"The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same.

Donald Trump has been president for almost four years. The temperature in the country is higher, tensions run stronger, divisions run deeper. And all of us are less safe because he can’t do the job of the American president."

"This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence — because for years, he has fomented it,"

"He may believe mouthing the words 'law and order' makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is. Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?"

"We need justice in America. And we need safety in America," Biden will say. "We are facing multiple crises — crises that, under Donald Trump, keep multiplying. COVID. Economic devastation. Unwarranted police violence. Emboldened white nationalists. A reckoning on race. Declining faith in a bright American future."

"The common thread? An incumbent president who makes things worse, not better. An incumbent president who sows chaos rather than providing order,"

"We must remember the words of Pope John Paul, quoting Scripture, 'Be Not Afraid!'"

-- JOE BIDEN
