President Joe Biden will give a speech later this week in an effort to get ahead of an impending summer of violent crime.
"The reason is that there's been actually a rise in crime over the last five years, but really the last 18 months. And so, it's an opportunity for the President to speak to what he's going to do to help address that. And as we've seen around the country, it is a concern of many Americans, Republicans but also Democrats too, not necessarily through a partisan lens. It was something the President felt was appropriate to speak to and tell the American people what he's doing to help address," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday.
But rather than focus on the true cause of the increase in crime, Biden will likely use the moment to push for more gun control.
"I'm not going to get ahead of his comments or remarks later this week. But it is an area where the President feels a lot, a great deal of the crime we're seeing is a result of gun violence. You can expect he'll speak to that and his commitment to continuing to address gun violence and gun safety in the country," Psaki said.

Did I just read that there were about 90,000 ODs in the last year that may be connected/attributable to the lock downs/masking? Kind of a higher number than the gun "problem" thingy. At least for now. Now, if little ober fuhrer hogg would just weigh in....
Let me guess. Systemic racism? White supremacy? The 2nd Amendment? Republicans? Climate Change? Orange man bad?
Did I cover all the bases?
Shooting the criminals dead would solve the problem.
Democrats: Solve the problem by giving a speech saying it's not their fault.
drug overdose crisis....
And the time taken for the surge of illegals attracted by Biden’s taking of the White House means the drug inspection factor is practically ended for the overworked border officers. Bill O’Reilly said recently the major organized crime bosses absolutely love Joe Biden for making their lives so much better and wealthier.
Think of how much the bigger amounts of Chinese heroin and fentanyl crossing the border now are making the Chinese richer and undermining the lives and safety of Americans. Happy days are here again for them, too.
Don’t forget all of that Chinese and cartel fentanyl flowing across the open border.
Great list of slanders.
That could have been taken from a daily lesson plan for the K-12 and higher school classes today. Not even a joke. Kids probably get extra credit on quizzes for getting them all.
Guns
The increase in crime is the direct result of rapidly declining morality in our country, which is roundly encouraged by the Democrat Party, in part by attacking Christianity and Judaism.
Good reply. A spot on analysis that will be on display in former Vice President Biden’s next speech.
So, when does Tom Cruise and the rest of his Precrime unit start rappelling through the ceilings of peoples homes?
They’re going to be busy.
He’ll blame it on everything but the actual root causes underlying it.
Until Biden’s handlers handle (pun) all the reasons for summer violence outlined well by Ms. Pavlich’s article, Biden should shut his mouth and be ashamed that the leftists are promoting violence.
Doesn’t require a gun to burn down a building, beat up an elderly Asian or a Jew, ride a bike into a store and steal bags full of merchandise, dine-and-dash, or stab someone.
Yes. We have to get someone on our side (our anti-Acosta)
to ask Biden in public for the full, unabridged, complete thrilling story of facing off against the Wilmington Delaware black Corn Pop thug. “We just can’t get enough of that story, sir. Can you please tell us that great story?”
State and local crime are none of the Pseudo-President’s business.
Nice list, but none of those were mentioned in the article which you should read.
You missed all those white males assaulting and killing all those po black folks in Dem-run cities. Oh, wait...
