“This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence – because for years he has fomented it,” Joe Biden is expected to say.
’s handling of civil unrest sparked by police violence in a speech Monday afternoon in Pittsburgh, his first in-person campaign trip on the road since the Democratic National Convention two weeks ago.
“This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence – because for years he has fomented it,” Biden is expected to say. “He may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is.”Former Vice President Joe Biden, left, accepts the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2020.
Biden’s speech is intended to sharply counter Vice President Mike Pence's claim during the Republican National Convention last week that “you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.” Biden will attempt to tie simultaneous crises -- the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic fallout from the pandemic and police violence -- to Trump’s tenure.
