Biden urges America to 'lower temperature' after Trump shooting
BBC News ^ | July 14, 2024 | Matt Murphy

Posted on 07/14/2024 11:31:19 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

US President Joe Biden has condemned the assassination attempt on his predecessor Donald Trump in a primetime address from the White House, telling Americans that US politics must never be a "killing field". Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was wounded in the ear after a gunman opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person was killed and two more were critically injured in the attack.

In the Oval Office address - just the third of his presidency - Mr Biden urged Americans to "take a step back" and warned that "political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated". "No matter how strong our convictions, we must never descend into violence," Mr Biden said in remarks that lasted just under seven minutes.

His short, but forceful, address largely went off without a hitch, amid ongoing scrutiny following a number of high-profile verbal slips. In his primetime address, the president called on Americans to come together and warned that increasing political polarisation meant November's election would be "a time of testing". Mr Biden and Trump remain locked neck-and-neck in opinion polls ahead of the election.

He's trying to take the energy out of Trump's campaign while appearing "Presidential."

Did he really say that, about lining MAGAs up and shooting them?

You speak a lot of words, Joe, but you say very little, at least of substance.

Let it not be lost on anyone that it’s the LEFT that has been steadily cranking the temperature to maximum. Our side is merely defending ourselves and calling for true justice for crimes and slights committed against us.

For this, we are called racists, bigots, nazis, Hitler, and every other manner of slur that the left has hurled in our direction for the last two decades.

You want to turn down the temperature? Fine. Tell your side to knock it off. Tell your lackeys to drop the charges against Trump, and make this a fair election. For God’s sake, for once do the right thing and order the mainstream media presstitutes and empty suits to shut their mouths and stop spewing hateful rhetoric, stoking the flames. Designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and arrest its members and supporters. Show to them and to the world that political violence and language leading to such will no longer be tolerated here in the United States.

Joe, you’re the commander in chief, whether you know it or not. It’s your responsibility to do these things. What took place on Saturday rests at your doorstep and the responsibility rests on your shoulders.

Tell me, Joe, what will YOU do about it? Can you tell us that?

Joe wants to use Charlottesville and any attacks on Dems (J6 and Whitmer plot) to push his agenda while pretending to be for peace.

Thank you very much.

I saved this and will probably need to use it in the future a lot.

Dems are hypocrites and selfish.

As Laura Ingraham said: Anyone who wears a MAGA hat has to worry about getting beaten, anyone who dares to put a Trump sign on a lawn has to keep up a watch for serious trouble. Don’t dare to put a Trump bumper sticker on a vehicle.

And ALL the violent threats are from the Dem side to the Trump side.

ALL of them.

Says the guy jailing protestors, his opponents and trying to jail his main rival for the presidency.

Says the guy fronting a banana republic regime.

Has he ever condemned ANY of his terrorists in antifa and his whores in the media for their open calling ofmTrump’s murder? NOPE. How about condemning Demon Pelosi or Shumer threatening and supporting violence.

Chomo Joe is a liar. But come tomorrow this will be completely spun to blame Trump and MAGA.

We tried to put you in prison but it doesn’t seem to be working, so we tried to assassinate you, but failed.

So, let’s all talk nice now. Um Kay?
