Accused by Biden of "stoking" violence, Trump expected Tuesday in Kenosha

Joe Biden campaigning in Pennsylvania, August 31, 2020. -

Two months before the presidential election of November 3, they are passing the buck.

Tuesday, Joe Biden accused Donald Trump of "stoking the embers of violence" which shakes several American cities.

Expected Tuesday in Kenosha, Donald Trump rejects the responsibility of the excesses on the "weakness" of the democratic mayors and governors, who refuse, according to him, to ask for the help of the national guard.

In Wisconsin, he is expected to meet with police but not the family of Jacob Blake, seriously injured by law enforcement ten days ago.

Under pressure while Donald Trump poses as a candidate of "law and order" in the face of excesses, Joe Biden was careful to condemn, once again, the violence from Pennsylvania, where he resumed a field campaign.

“To loot is not to demonstrate.

To set fire is not to demonstrate, ”he said.

“It's anarchy, full stop.

"

"Fomented violence"

He reaffirmed that the Republican president had "failed to protect America", which is facing the Covid-19 pandemic with more than 180,000 dead, the resulting economic crisis, and this deep anti-racist wave .

"So now he's trying to scare America," said Joe Biden, who is ahead of Donald Trump in the polls.

Donald Trump "maybe thinks blatanting the words

and

makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting like an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is," Joe said Biden.

The Republican president "stirs up the embers", continued the former vice-president of Barack Obama, accusing him of being a "toxic presence" in the White House and of having "poisoned the values" of America.

"He cannot stop violence because for years he fomented it", he asserted.

Nine weeks before the presidential election of November 3, it is up to who will succeed in blaming the blaze on the other.

In the United States, the spectacular images of the historic movement of anger against racism, which sometimes degenerates into riots, are on repeat.

Much like those of an armed teenager, a supporter of the president, accused of killing two people last week in Wisconsin, or those of a convoy of pro-Trump activists marching on Saturday in the progressive stronghold of Portland, where the one of them was shot dead.

An explosive cocktail in a country deeply divided politically, where the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution.

Trump in Kenosha Tuesday

Donald Trump accused his Democratic opponent of having "the same program" as "the violent rioters" and "of using the arguments of the mafia: the pack will leave you alone if you give them what they want".

The Republican billionaire is expected to hammer out this speech Tuesday in Kenosha, where an African-American, Jacob Blake, was seriously injured on August 23 by gunfire from a police officer, triggering a new wave of protest.

Two anti-racist protesters have been killed by a pro-Trump activist during clashes in the Wisconsin city.

The outgoing president intends to pay tribute to the police.

"We must give our police back their dignity, respect," he pleaded.

"Sometimes there are bad police officers", "but other times they only make bad decisions", "they crack", he added, seeming to relativize, if not to excuse, the mistakes.

On the other hand, Donald Trump confirmed that he would not meet the family of Jacob Blake, explaining that he had refused to deal with their lawyers.

“I spoke with the pastor of the family,” “a magnificent man,” he simply said.

And to those who fear that his visit will add fuel to the fire, he replied: "It can also bring enthusiasm", "love and respect for our country".
