Despite countless videos of burning buildings, looting mobs, and acts of destruction and violence, Democrats have refused to denounce the rioters. But, finally, in a televised speech from Pennsylvania on Monday, Biden has admitted that rioting is bad.
For months Biden and a complicit media have asserted that the protests were “mostly peaceful”. However, every honest, sentient being could see the lawlessness that has ravaged dozens of cities throughout the country.
After three months of anarchy, which has resulted in destruction, the devastation of livelihoods, and even deaths, Biden has finally acknowledged the obvious. And shamefully, it does not appear that his refutation of the riots was borne out of moral courage. No, it’s more likely that his staff saw which way the polls were swinging.
According to a new Marquette Law School poll support for both the protests and the Black Lives Matter movement has significantly declined among the people of Wisconsin. Interestingly, this polling occurred before the shooting of Jacob Blake and the ensuing riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In June, approval for the mass protests after the killing of George Floyd was at 61% approval in Wisconsin. In August, approval dropped sharply to 48%. Support for the Black Lives Matter movement also fell from 59% to 49%. Numerous polls show similar results throughout the country.
Even Trump-hating CNN’s Don lemon bemoaned the fact that the rioting was “showing up in the polling” and “showing up in focus groups.” Lemon concluded that the rioting had to stop, not because of the violence and destruction, but because, “it is the only thing right now that is sticking.”
For months, rather than condemn the actions of the lawless, Biden and his fellow Democrats have encouraged the anarchists by agreeing with their message that the United States is a systemically racist evil country.
Last week Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris made the divisive hyperbolic claim that:
“ The life of a black American has never been treated as fully human.”
Further, Harris gleefully told “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert that the protesters “are not going to stop before Election Day…and they should not.”
Biden has only decided to condemn the riots out of political expediency. By all accounts, the overwhelming majority of rioters are left-wing anarchists, such as ANTIFA and radical Black Lives Matter activists. Yet, not once has Biden condemned the leftists committing destruction and violence.
This is who Biden has refused to condemn:
Saturday night in Portland, a Trump supporter was gun-downed simply because he supported President Trump. The alleged killer is a self-identified member of ANTIFA. After his murder, a woman at a BLM/ANTIFA gathering shouted into a megaphone,
“I am not sad that a f-king fascist died tonight. He was a f-king Nazi. Our community held its own and took out the trash.”
Biden does not want to condemn the violent anarchists because they are part of his voter base. They are who will become empowered under a Biden Presidency
Interestingly, although they are much smaller in number, and not committing the destruction seen in many cities, numerous times Biden blamed the rioting on “right-wing militias” and “white nationalists”. He also denounced “the unwarranted police violence”.
Moreover, the bulk of his 18-minute speech on Monday was a vitriolic attack against President Trump. Amazingly, Biden asserted that the riots perpetrated by left-wing activists, in Democrat-run cities were Donald Trump’s fault.
Biden even implied that President Trump did not want the riots to stop. Taking Kellyanne Conway’s statement out of context Biden claimed that the former Trump advisor believed that “the more chaos, violence, the better it is for Trump’s reelection”. Fact check- False. That is not what Conway said.
Conway claimed that the violence and anarchy make it clear to voters who’s better “on public safety and law and order.” Fact check- True.
Although Biden asserts that he does not believe police departments should be defunded, he is on record agreeing that funds from police should be “redirected”. Further, it’s hard to believe that a President Biden would not be swayed on this issue, like he is on so many others, and be pulled further to the left.
In his “Unity” manifesto with Bernie Sanders, which lays out Biden’s presidential agenda, Biden has proposed eliminating cash bail. Allowing criminals to roam free, without posting bail, is hardly an action that will keep communities safe.
It’s worth noting that at least 13 Biden campaign aides have donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, (MFF) which pays the bail for protesters and rioters arrested in Minneapolis. In June Kamala Harris also promoted the fund in a tweet to her followers.
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw

According to a report from Fox 9 the MFF has posted bail for those charged with violent crimes. A sampling of who is being bailed out of jail by the MFF: The fund posted $100,000 for Darnika Floyd who was charged with second degree murder, and $350,000 for Christopher Boswell, (a twice convicted rapist) who is facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping.
There is a reason why for the first time in at least 36 years, the New York City Police Union backed a presidential candidate- and it was Donald Trump.
Biden agrees with the leftist anarchists who believe that our country is systemically racist and that police are a danger to people of color.
From the Biden/Sander’s manifesto:
“It is unacceptable that black parents must have ‘the talk’ with their children, to try to protect them from the very police officers who are supposed to be sworn to protect and serve them.”
It further states-
“It is unacceptable that millions of people of color in our country have good reason to fear they may lose their lives in a routine traffic stop.”
Biden has also proposed that we should “reimagine public safety”, end private prisons and detention centers, and restore voting rights and access to welfare payments to convicted felons.
Biden’s claim that the country would be safer under his administration, is belied by the facts. Not only has Biden been highly critical of law enforcement, but when they are possible Biden voters, he sides with the lawless.
