The question of weapons
Donald Trump himself relayed the video on Saturday evening, commenting: "I LOVE TEXAS".
"We've never seen such a thing - at least we've never had a president who thinks it's a good thing," Joe Biden told his supporters in Philadelphia.
The former vice-president referred to a video of Donald Trump Jr, one of the president's sons, who urged his father's supporters to "continue", and go and greet the two candidates for the Democratic ticket in the same way as what happened in Texas.
“Dear friends, we are not like that.
We're much better than that, ”said Joe Biden.

For Trump, his supporters "protected" the bus
At a rally in Michigan, the president said protesters in Texas had tried to "protect" the Democratic bus: "You see how our troops, you know, tried to protect this bus yesterday," republican.
"These patriots have done nothing wrong," he insisted on Twitter on Sunday.
"Instead, the FBI and the judiciary should investigate the terrorists, anarchists and antifa agitators, who hang around burning our Democrat-run cities and hurting our people!"
", he added.
Messages on Twitter also reported traffic jams a priori caused by pro-Trump drivers on a highway in New Jersey, and on two bridges in New York.
In these videos, the decks are filled with cars covered in pro-Trump flags.
