After a fatal shooting in Portland, allies of Trump and Biden on Sunday sought to attribute the violence and chaos occurring amid protests across the country to the opposing candidate
After a fatal shooting in Portland, Ore., allies of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday sought to attribute the violence and chaos occurring amid protests across the country to the opposing candidate.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, however, maintained that it was “just not accurate” to “reframe it that way.” Protests have occurred for more than 90 consecutive days in Portland since George Floyd, another Black man, was killed by the police in Minneapolis in May. Portland police have yet to release details of the man who was killed over the weekend or any information about the suspected gunman.
That message was widespread at last week’s Republican National Convention, where supporters warned of cities being overrun by violent mobs on the radical left. With the coronavirus pandemic killing more than 180,000 Americans and battering the economy, Republicans are trying to make safety a key campaign issue amid a national reckoning on race relations, driving their message of law and order as Democrats emphasize the need for police reform to halt the killings of unarmed Black people.
“As you see that continue to unfold over the course of three months, you are going to continue to see violent activity,” Wolf predicted on ABC. The administration is “happy to provide resources to bring this violence to an end, violence that, again, across the ideological spectrum, left or right, the violence needs to end.”
Recalling what she described as an “anarchist mob” that encircled Sen. Rand Paul and his wife outside of the White House after the president’s nomination acceptance speech Thursday, Lara Trump said, “You didn’t see that happening on the other side,” because “that would never happen.”Rep. Karen Bass , who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, said Kenosha shouldn’t be used as a way to campaign.
