“This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence – because for years he has fomented it,” Biden will claim, according to excerpts of his speech released by his campaign.

WISCONSIN GOV. TELLS TRUMP NOT TO COME TO KENOSHA
The former vice president’s speech comes a day after he condemned the continued violence in Portland, Ore., which has witnessed nightly clashes all summer. On Saturday night, a person was shot and killed after violent confrontations between Trump supporters and demonstrators who’ve been protesting for three straight months since the death in late May of Black man George Floyd while in police custody in Minnesota.
“The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right,” Biden emphasized.
“And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same.Whether you consider the political prospects of your parties to the conflict abhorrent, any loss of life is a tragedy,” Biden added.”We won’t have to be a country at war with ourselves.A country that accepts the murder of fellow citizens who disagree with you.A country that takes revenge on each other. But this is the America that President Trump needs us to be, the America he believes we are.”
The pro-Trump patriot oration knew the Portland crash victim as Aaron “Jay” Danielson.

The president, in a tweet on Sunday morning, called his followers’ motorcade “GREAT PATRIOTS!”and in a tweet he said “Rest in peace Jay!”
Two senior Oregon Democratic leaders, Governor Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, accused the president of “encouraging the department and destroying violence.”
Backing off, Trump pointed to the mayor and tweeted that “Ted Wheeler, the crazy Democratic mayor of Portland’s radical left, who witnessed the death and destruction of his city during his tenure, believes that this anarchic scenario deserves to last forever…False! Portland will never get over it with an idiot for mayor…»
And he’s been tweeting and tweeting again several times in the last few days “LAW
Biden, in his speech monday, will respond by saying that the president “may pronounce the words law and order make him strong, but his inability to call his own supporters to avoid acting as an armed defense force in this country shows how weak.”he is.”
And he will point out that “we are facing crises, crises that, with Donald Trump, continue to multiply.Mr. COVID. Economic devastation. Unjustified police violence.White nationalists emboldened. Attention of the breed. A waning religion in a bright American future.Thread? An outgoing president who makes things worse, doesn’t make them better.”
Following Saturday’s announcement that the president would stop in Kenosha, Biden has been under increasing strain also in the key state of the general election battlefield.put some distance between him and the violence that has erupted since Jacob Blake, 29, was shot seven times on 23 August, allegedly through the Kenosha police.Officer Rusten Sheskey.
A video that was noticed on social media shows Sheskey shooting Blake as he arrived at his vehicle, where Wisconsin officials later said a knife had been found.The shooting, with his children in the vehicle, left Blake paralyzed from the waist down.
During protests triggered by the shooting, a member of the defense forces who describe himself is accused of shooting two other people and wounding a third.Teen Kyle Rittenhouse faces homicide fees in the shooting; his lawyer claimed self-defense.
The president for Kenosha turns out to be a kind of victory tower, as he credits themselves with the merit of easing tensions in the city after the National Guard has restored something like order.
“Success: since the National Guard moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin, two days ago, there has BEEN NO OTHER VIOLENCE, not even a small problem,” Trump tweeted Friday.”When the federal government is legally asked to lend a hand to local authorities, it will act and succeed quickly.Do you pay attention to Portland?”
But Democratic Governor Tony Evers had already sent National Guard troops to the city even before the president moved.
The president has emphasized law and order since the protests began last spring, and that’s a major theme of last week’s Republican National Convention. The focus comes when Trump tries to recapture the suburban electorate that subsidized him in 2016 but fled the REPUBLICAN Party in the mid-term 2018 election.
