Biden accuses Trump of refusing to 'even acknowledge that there's a racial justice problem in America,' while Trump says he won't meet with Jacob Blake's family when he visits Kenosha
during his Tuesday visit to Wisconsin, where protests have erupted after a Kenosha police officer shot Blake last week.
In a campaign speech in Pennsylvania, Biden countered the Trump campaign's attacks against him that people "won't be safe in Joe Biden's America," referencing violence that has emerged amid predominantly peaceful protests. Biden asked, "And what's their proof? The violence we're seeing in Donald Trump's America."
"The family's primary objectives are to support Jacob's recovery and to ensure justice for him," the statement read. "If the call had occurred, Ms. Jackson was prepared to ask President Trump to watch the video of Mr. Blake's shooting and to do what she has asked all of America to do — examine your heart."
"They've told us, 'None of this violence respects or honors George [Floyd] or Jacob,'" Biden said. "I believe we can bring these folks fighting for racial justice to the table."
