Biden Condemned Violence. Why Won’t Trump?
The New York Times ^ | Aug. 31, 2020 | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 09/01/2020 11:40:52 PM PDT by Trump20162020

To try to break out of it, Biden’s campaign has gone on the offensive. On Sunday, he issued a statement condemning violence “of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right” and challenging Trump to do the same. On Monday he drove home the point: “This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it.”

Biden is right. However violence plays politically, the reality is that only one of the two candidates cheers it. Trump has urged his fans to thuggery since his first presidential campaign. He invited Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple charged with felonies for waving guns at Black Lives Matter protesters, to speak at the Republican National Convention.

Recently he liked a tweet sympathizing with Rittenhouse, who has emerged as a macabre folk hero among some Republicans. During a Monday news conference, the president defended Rittenhouse, arguing that he was acting in self-defense. “It’s not just the president, it’s the entire Republican Party right now, kind of implying that we’ve got to take matters into our own hands and seek law and order,” said Neumann.

This weekend, a convoy of Trump supporters in flag-bedecked trucks headed into Portland, Ore., to confront left-wing demonstrators. Once in the city, they shot paintballs and pepper spray at protesters. On Twitter, Trump called them “GREAT PATRIOTS.”

Joe is going to condemn those mostly peaceful protesters? For shame!

This has to be the most unintentionally funny article I've seen in the NYT for a long time.

Joe Biden@JoeBiden·1h In honor of John Lewis, C.T. Vivian, and all the essential workers who have selflessly risked their lives, the Senate should pass a bill that ensures working people get real relief — extended unemployment insurance, rental support, and guaranteed sick leave. #StrikeForBlackLives: Joe Biden@JoeBiden : Labor unions, activist groups plan nationwide ‘Strike for Black Lives’ on July 20

The left always lying nonstop. POTUS called them rioters and thugs and the left had heartattacks, and even set up funds to bail the looters and arsonists out of jail.

POTUS sent a small faction of NG to Portland and everyone screamed “DICTATOR” now he is not responding or condemning violence? yea OKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

Brain dead Biden can condemn until hell freezes over, but what’s he going to do about the violence besides blame Trump.

Put your money where your mouth is Joe and INSIST that your demon-rat mayors, governors and senators stop their demon-rat Anti-fa/ BLM dogs!
They COULD stop it IF they wanted to.

Why won’t the NYTimes condemn the violence they not only confined but cheered on?

Why won’t the New York Slimes condemn violence by Antifa and BLM? Why won’t CNN? Why won’t MSDNC? Why won’t any of the liberal news networks?

Cause the President has already condemned such long ago, NYT, where the F have you all been?

Also, the lamestream media is willfully engaging in and utilizing the Nazi/Fascist propaganda technique of ‘the Big Lie’......just a heads up to those that have not caught on to this the last few months and years.......

Why won’t they stop lying? Because people do what they’re good at and lying is what the New York Times is good at.They are finally “the paper of record” only for the DeBlasio Administration and the fading -fast Dem Party-—their Job One, as it’s always been is to lie on behalf of the Democrats and work hard to make sure POTUS doesn’t get re-elected> They are one of a dwindling number of media which are entirely staffed by mostly young hacks eager to make their bones. NYT and WaPo are no longer influential the way they once were-—no one buys them the way they used to: they exist mostly on internet postings which few read.

Anyone that is so out of touch with current events in this country that they would buy this garbage deserve to be looked at like the idiots that they are.

Why won’t The New York Times stop lying?

How far the newspaper has fallen: The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper that would avoid sensationalism and report the news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience. But its high moral tone was no asset in the heated competition of other papers for readers in New York City. (Source: Britannica)

This is quite the psy ops campaign.

One party sits back and champions looters, arsonists, and anarchists while vilifying the police and any attempt to restore order. This follows three-plus years of refusing to accept the results of an election and attempting to remove the winner from office by any means necessary.

They then plop themselves down on a holier-than-thou throne and point fingers at anyone who opposes them as being divisive and stoking violence. It’s gaslighting on a grand scale.

I never understood how it could happen that Germany embraced Hitler and exterminated Jews. I’m now witnessing a living textbook of just how easy it is to coerce and corral a pliable populace.
