Former Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday that the pro-Trump caravan that drove through Portland, Oregon, on Sunday was “spoiling for a fight.” Biden was responding to the shooting death of a right-wing protester Saturday evening who had reportedly participated in the pro-Trump caravan.
The victim’s name has been reported as Aaron “Jay” Danielson. According to the Oregonian, police are investigating a man named Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, for the crime. He is allegedly a supporter of Antifa and Black Lives Matter who has taken part in riots over the past several months in Portland, and was reportedly arrested by police at a riot July 5th and cited for possession of a loaded weapon.
Video of the caravan showed confrontations with left-wing protesters on the streets.
However, there was no evidence yet that Anderson was involved in those confrontations. The caravan was reportedly over when he was shot and killed. In a statement, Biden condemned the use of violence by all sides, but then blamed President Donald Trump for “incitement.” He also said: “It is not a peaceful protest when you out go out spoiling for a fight.” He has made no similar criticism of the left-wing activists who have rioted in recent months. Critics suggested that Biden was blaming the victim.

I guess by that logic, all the Black Lies Matter and Antifa rioters are spoiling for a fight, and it is ok to shoot them.
Biden is complete asshoe.
More than 3 months of arson, looting, occupation and MURDER in Portland by these “peaceful” protesters and suddenly it is pro-Trump groups that are spoiling for a fight?
The fight is overdue!!!
What a fkn liar that demented old POS is. So.. by just being there, it was all their fault.
Refusing to be intimidated is “spoiling for fight” in the ‘Rat lexicon.
When we start pushing back they’re incredulous , they’re saying “what’s wrong with you, why are you upset”. Because we have had enough of their bull.
Keep talkin’ old man...keep talkin’
This is the Democrat’s america, where if you are in the opposing political party, and drive your cars through a city in support of your party, you are “spoiling for a fight”.
Submit. That is the only message I’m getting from the Democrat/Leftist/BLM/Anti-fa/Media murderers. I can’t hear anything else.
So Biden is saying that Trump supporters deserve to be murdered.
“She was askin’ for it, hanging out in a bar dressed like that on a Friday night”
So antifa and blm have a right to go out and protest, but we do not? Wow! Did he take any questions?
Meanwhile African-Americans who get shot while fighting police are “victims”.
Jacob Blake was fighting, and this poor fellow wasn’t.
Walking down the street with a friend, being singled out as Trump supporters, then being shot, and killed because of that, is not “spoiling for a fight.” It’s called being stalked, accosted, and murdered because of your political affiliation. It’s called political assassination, plain and simple.
I guess that means no phonecall from Joe to the family of the deceased.
In effect Biden is defending Antifa and BLM This will cost him more votes.
Did old, slow PedoJoe actually come out of the basement?
Maybe he’ll see his shadow and go back in it for 6 more weeks.
Blaming the victim sounds like an excellent strategy. Please keep talking!
Biden is obviously feeble. Were I as close as he is to meeting my maker, I would be much more careful how I conducted myself. I used to view Biden as harmless old Uncle Joe. The facade has fallen and his evil is shining through for all to see. He is an evil and ugly human being through and through.
