Joe Biden finally breaks silence on urban violence, too late
New York Post ^ | August 27, 2020 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 08/27/2020 3:17:23 AM PDT by karpov

For the first time in three days, the biggest political news of the day didn’t come out of the Republican convention. It came out of a basement in Delaware.

Joe Biden finally raised an objection to the riots, arson, murder and looting tearing apart American cities. To be sure, his wasn’t a strong voice, but at least he finally broke his silence.

“The needless violence won’t heal us,” the Democrat’s nominee said in a statement focused mostly on the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.

It’s very little, and very late, maybe even too late to save his campaign.

Dems made what I believe to be a historic error in failing to say a single word — a single word — about the national urban crisis during their convention last week. They said nothing about the violence and the tent cities of homeless popping up everywhere, yet embraced the Black Lives Matter movement, frequently criticized the police and romanced protestors as a new wave of selfless heroes.

But what the nation is witnessing is not protest and it is certainly not heroic. It is a generational assault on America’s founding principles and our modern way of life. Murder and arson do not bring about social justice.

The country has noticed. Slowly but surely, the nation is awakening to the horror unfolding on television screens night after night and the fact that the Dems have been MIA in the battle for safety.

The polls are starting to shift — two now have President Trump’s approval rating over 50 percent — and other Dems, including the mayor of Washington, suddenly are calling for an end to the violence.

The impact is so serious that even CNN anchor Don Lemon is worried about Biden’s chances

They thought screaming “COVID!!” was going to be it. That was the scariest monster in the room.

Nope. Turns out violence in our streets is far scarier. Only now do they realize it. Those poll numbers must have been pretty scary.

The Homothingy----CNN’s Don Lemon----used the word “riot” to describe “peaceful protests?”

Yikes.

Lemon’s committed a grievous p/c offense.

(Sniffle) He’s encouraging systematic racism, the violent fight for social desirability,
and (gasp) he's imperiling ethnic diversity...America's basic strength (sob).

Offenses that grievous should not be overlooked by CNN (ahem) newsmakers.

Pretty sad when the only thing that will make you speak out against evil is poll numbers.

This shows the coordination between the media and DNC.....on the same day Lemon laments the riots are showing up in polls and focus groups, Biden issues a statement.

They are all in this together and share all information with each other. These are coordinated groups...including the rioters.

If I am right, you will see the rioting to fade nearly away in the next few days.

The moment between Mike Pence and his mom was the moment of the night. Few words but shouted we love and miss you. Senior heroes.

We have said since May that the democrats need a race, sex, class, and age war to have any chance of winning in November.

And that the organized riots will stop 30 minutes after their polling data shows Trump is gaining support from them. The looting? Well, stopping the looting and arson and assaults requires moral citizens and an ethical city leader. Ain’t gonna happen in a democrat cesspool (er, city.)

Lemon will kick the LGBt confederate cat issues out the house the minute his ratings and polls do not show.

As the ironic Bolshevics would say of the traitor Trotzkists...

The mainstream media headline will be “Biden Stands For Law and Order”.

And of course the Democrats will take credit for it.

Reap the Whirlwind. Democratics bring nothing but misery, destruction and death and it starts with the unborn.

I can agree with that assessment.
What the Dem/Media Complex (DMC) is having trouble with are the Gibbsmedats.
Once the urban-dwellers see that they can loot and pillage with no ramifications, it takes little provocation for them to act-out.
No amount of pleading from the DMC will cause them to cease.
Maybe BLM will senesce and Aunt Teefa will go underground but the Gibsmedats will still rampage at the first opportunity.
Minneapolis and Oakland, over night, are instructive.

It took months for Biden to condemn the riots, but he wants people to believe he would have quickly gone into action on Covid. They don’t call him “Slow Joe” for nothing.

Read between the lines-—he said needless violence- dems have justified their violence-—all violence is necessary.
