Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday called for the arrest of violent protesters while taking questions for the first time in 28 days.
The former vice president struck a discordant tone with fellow liberals who insist protests against the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police are peaceful, and that authorities are to blame for any violence in Portland and other cities.
I think we do need to hold those who violate the law accountable, Biden said. We should never let whats done in a march for equal rights overcome what the reason for the march is. And thats what these folks are doing. And they should be arrested found, arrested and tried.
Bidens call for the prosecution of violent protesters may further alienate leftist politicians uneasy with Bidens decades of centrist policies.
This week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said she would not endorse Biden and a co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, likened voting for Biden to eating a bowl of ---t.
The event was the first time Biden took questions since a June 30 briefing.

Yeah, the Democrats are starting to get nervous. They have to realize this violence is not playing well for America. Too little too late. So sad too bad as the saying goes, the damage has been done. Democrats will pay, at the ballot box, come Nov. 3rd.
To: conservative98
His handlers call for it. Biden doesn't know who is protesting and what they are protesting.

I guess the polls are souring on the DNC’s “Summer of Love?”
To: Robert DeLong
Dems will pay Nov 3 but will this all stop or get worse? My money is on worse. Biden would embolden but another Trump 4 years and look out.

We call it sedition for Marxism. You are a senile moron. The mormon part had always existed. The senile part is relatively new. Now STFU and stop giving people with dementia a poor image.

Something happened in the DNC over the weekend. Either they realized they couldn’t wrangle the socialists into supporting Biden, polling said the riots were helping Trump, or they never intended to let the socialists run the party in the first place and this is just what the next phase of the campaign getting rolled out.

If Yogi were here, he’d say, “he doesn’t understand what he doesn’t mean”.
