"We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence — on many sides. On many sides." - Trump on Charlottesville
"I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right." -- Biden on Portland

Before we hear about Biden's courageous and calming statement, let's just remember that the world was set on fire by Trump's failure to explicitly condemn the alt-right. Biden doesn't get to escape that same fire just because he's going light on BLM and Antifa.

Remember, those Trump comments were so egregious that they supposedly prompted Biden to get into the 2020 race. So why won't Biden just condemn the obvious instigators of the violence in America's major cities we've been seeing for months?

Prediction: not one of our intrepid media members will ask Biden to specifically condemn BLM rioters and looters or Antifa. Not one. They'll be perfectly content with his "both sides-ism" -- the same EXACT phenomenon they decried when Trump did it.
