BIDEN says in a new statement: “Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same.”

This is a more aggressive Biden, portraying Trump as a “weak” president who not only refuses to denounce right-wing violence but is “recklessly encouraging” it because he thinks it helps him politically.

“He may think that war in our streets is good for his reelection chances”
