Former Vice President Joe Biden stepped out of the shadows of his self-imposed quarantine today to address the unrest gripping the nation and paint President Donald Trump as an authoritarian
Former Vice President Joe Biden stepped out of the shadows of his self-imposed quarantine Tuesday to address the unrest gripping the nation and paint President Donald Trump as an authoritarian.
“When peaceful protesters are dispersed by the order of the president from the doorstep of the people’s house, the White House — using tear gas and flash grenades — in order to stage a photo op at a noble church, we can be forgiven for believing that the president is more interested in power than in principle,” Biden said.
The protests and riots in Washington and elsewhere around the country were spurred by the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer who put his knee on Floyd's neck. That officer has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, but protests against widespread racial injustice in the U.S. have persisted.
Biden emphasized Floyd's last words — “I can’t breathe” — which became a rallying cry in 2014 after another black man, Eric Garner, died after a caught-on-camera struggle with New York City police. “George Floyd’s last words. But they didn’t die with him. They’re still being heard. They’re echoing across this nation,” Biden said. “They speak to a nation where too often just the color of your skin puts your life at risk. They speak to a nation where more than 100,000 people have lost their lives to a virus and 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment – with a disproportionate number of these deaths and job losses concentrated in the black and minority communities.
