After the first night of violence Biden issued a statement denouncing all violence.

"Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not."

I'm a democrat, I did not encourage violent protests or rioting, nor do I know any other democrats who did so. This is some kind of right wing myth that somehow Democrats are responsible for people protesting, rioting, looting- or if the accusation isn't that we encouraged them then we should somehow have discouraged them. Most protesters are young and not very active in politics but by all means carry on...but when you do I will remind you of the times when Republicans failed to discourage/stop violence, fair enough?

In at least one instance where a police officer was killed during a protest, the suspect was actually aligned with a far-right extremist group. In Oakland, Air Force Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo — a member of the “boogaloo,” an online extremist group with violent views — is accused of killing a federal officer. Authorities have said he was using nearby peaceful protests as cover.

Wrong.

Your democrat "leaders", like sleepy creepy Make him shush joe say Antifa is an idea, Mostly Peaceful Protests, Sending in the National Guard is a violation of the Constitution, Portlandia +100!, Chazville, Macy's Purse-Run, ChiTown Reparations Run!, Black Lies Murder with a little Soros sprinkled in.

Happy Voting, democrats. Srsly.

Biden Negative again in a Covid test taken Sunday 10/4/2020

PCR test - which is more accurate than the rapid test.

PCR; of which shouldn't be utilized for testing as well.

It's called a PCR test. A test is not supposed to be used for testing? Can you elaborate

The problem is when the rioters and looters tried to burn down Seattle, Portland and cause other major destruction in other cities like Chicago, NY and others, the mayors of those cities who are suppose to lead did not, and they are all Democrats. They allowed it to happen and it was a disgrace. That's the issue.

You took Biden's comment out of context, at the debate this is what he said:

Quote:
"His own FBI director said ... antifa is an idea, not an organization," Biden said, referring to President Donald Trump and FBI Director Chris Wray
and he was right.. On Sept 17th Chris Wray said the following:

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, delivering testimony that puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has said he would designate it a terror group.
