Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he condemns violence “across the board,” including from Antifa, when he was asked about it during a local TV interview Monday.
“I’ve condemned it across the board,” Biden told Pennsylvania’s WGAL News 8 in an interview Monday, referring to violence during protests. “The president still hasn’t condemned the far-right folks coming out and protesting and using violence.”
The nationwide unrest was sparked by the late May death of George Floyd while in the custody of police in Minnesota. Trump, who has denounced protesters as “thugs” while sharply defending the police, has throughout the summer cast American cities under liberal leadership as under siege by violent and lawless anarchy. While many of the demonstrations have been peaceful, rioting and looting has broken out in multiple cities.
