Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event at Mill 19 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Aug 31, 2020. PITTSBURGH: Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden on Monday called for an end to"lawlessness" and violence in protest-hit US cities, while blaming Donald Trump's"toxic" presidency for fuelling unrest that has left several people dead.
"Looting is not protesting, setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It's lawlessness, plain and simple, and those who do it should be prosecuted," Biden said in a speech in Pittsburgh - at which he also charged that Trump was"part of the problem.""Our current president wants you to live in fear," charged the 77-year-old Democrat."He advertises himself as a figure of order. He isn't.
But Biden's remarks were also the strongest condemnation yet of the deadly violence that has gripped two US cities in particular - Kenosha, Wisconsin and Portland, Oregon - where protests against racial injustice have raged and three people have been killed in the past week of unrest.Violence"makes things worse across the board, not better ...
With Trump trailing in election polling, he and his campaign have sought to paint Democrats as incapable or unwilling to crack down on the unrest, and the president warned voters that they"won't be safe" if Biden wins.
"Afraid they're going to get Covid, afraid they're going to get sick and die. And that is in no small part because of you."
