Former Vice President Joe Biden rebuked President Donald Trump Friday for his inflammatory remarks after the death of unarmed black man George Floyd, saying it was 'no time for incendiary tweets' and 'no time to encourage violence.'
Former Vice President Joe Biden rebuked President Donald Trump Friday for his inflammatory remarks after the death of unarmed black man George Floyd, saying it was"no time for incendiary tweets" and"no time to encourage violence."
"Imagine if every time your husband or son, wife or daughter, left the house, you feared for their safety from bad actors and bad police," Biden said."Imagine if you had to have that talk with your child about not asserting their rights—and taking the abuse handed out to them—just so they could make it home."
The response comes after Trump's tweet in recent late-night hours that"these THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen," before saying that the military was on the way."Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts," he tweeted.
Protests continued across the country over Floyd's death Friday, as well as in Minnesota, which also saw vandalism and fires set. Black activists in Minneapolis said they did not condemn the destruction but said they understood it because of how much the community has suffered without justice.
