"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& #39;s courageous and calming statement, let& #39;s just remember that the world was set on fire by Trump& #39;s failure to explicitly condemn the alt-right. Biden doesn& #39;t get to escape that same fire just because he& #39;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& #39;t Biden just condemn the obvious instigators of the violence in America& #39;s major cities we& #39;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& #39;ll be perfectly content with his "both sides-ism" -- the same EXACT phenomenon they decried when Trump did it.
