Biden, Harris facing intense pushback for playing the race card

[Counselor706]

President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris are facing intense pushback for suggesting that there has been a double standard between how law enforcement treated the Capitol Hill rioters on Wednesday versus the "peaceful" Black Lives Matter protesters last summer.

Critics slammed both Biden and Harris for pushing such a narrative, many noting their lack of condemnation of the violence that took place last year.

"Four people are dead after what happened yesterday. And you know what? People died last summer, too. Countless businesses destroyed. People’s livelihoods set on fire and stolen. You refused to condemn that violence. Yesterday was horrific, but you’ve lost your right to moralize," National Review writer Alexandra DeSanctis scolded the incoming president.

"They really just know how to make everything so much worse. This is untrue, divisive race-baiting, and absolutely no one in the media will call her out for this lie," podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey tweeted in reaction to Harris. "This is the same woman who tweeted out a BAIL FUND for rioters who burned down Minneapolis."

On May 29, he told CNN that people “have a right to be, in fact, angry and frustrated. And more violence, hurting more people, isn’t going to answer the question."

On May 31, he wrote in a statement on Medium that protesting police brutality is “right and necessary” and “an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not,” Biden wrote. “Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”

On June 2, in a speech in Philadelphia, recorded by ABC News, Biden said there is "no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses. We need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protest and opportunistic violent destruction," he said.

On July 28, in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, he echoed that sentiment, per C-SPAN “Peaceful protesters should be protected – but arsonists and anarchists should be prosecuted – and local law enforcement can do that," he said.

On Aug. 31, after a man was fatally shot in Portland, Oregon, Biden released a statement on his campaign website with another condemnation of protest-related violence: "The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable," he said. "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. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same."

If people of colour stormed the Capitol there would be a huge body count. This is a fact and biden is correct. You racist trumptards are sore losers. One would think you'd be used to being losers...

There was an enormous difference
I seen pics of trump supporters inside the Capitol building taking selfies with capitol police officers

Lets not forget
8 months across the street from white house trump had tear gas and rubber bullets used to clear a park of peaceful demonstrators just so he could take a press pic in front of a church


The trumptards are so desperate to point a finger at anything right now to take the focus off what peices of shit they are


LETS NOT FORGET
For days before the riot trump promoted the event
The theme was stop the steal
They were led to believe that pence could overturn the electoral count and use different electors

They were there to stop biden from being declared president
They were sent there by trump to stop the steal

When the counting of the electoral votes started the roiters realized pence wasnt going to use alternate electoral votes

So what happened is the fault of trump himself

A capital police officer was murdered in a horrific way
He had his head bashed in with a fire extinguisher

This is on trump and all trump supporters tjat spead the election stolen misinformation

Personally i think all of you trump supporters are peices of shit

LOL....BLM and the left appreciate your wokenes and support, #staywoke and you'll be popular comrade.

The Feds have historically allowed white supremacists/alt-right organizations to flourish while punishing, attacking, jailing, and killing Black activists.

It's all chickens coming home to roost for this country, now time to take them seriously.

If #BLM protests bother you that much, maybe you ought to do something about the root cause rather than blaming the reaction to it.

The Police’s Tepid Response To The Capitol Breach Wasn’t An Aberration

“It feels really unbelievable,” said Roudabeh Kishi, director of research and innovation with the nonprofit*Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. But, she said, it’s also totally unsurprising.

That’s because the discrepancies we saw Wednesday are just another example of a trend Kishi’s team has been tracking for months as they collect data on protester and law enforcement interactions across America. “We see a different response to the right wing,” she said.
