After a fatal shooting in Portland, Ore., allies of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday sought to attribute the violence and chaos occurring amid protests across the country to the opposing candidate.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, however, maintained that it was “just not accurate” to “reframe it that way.” Protests have occurred for more than 90 consecutive days in Portland since George Floyd, another Black man, was killed by the police in Minneapolis in May. Portland police have yet to release details of the man who was killed over the weekend or any information about the suspected gunman.
That message was widespread at last week’s Republican National Convention, where supporters warned of cities being overrun by violent mobs on the radical left. With the coronavirus pandemic killing more than 180,000 Americans and battering the economy, Republicans are trying to make safety a key campaign issue amid a national reckoning on race relations, driving their message of law and order as Democrats emphasize the need for police reform to halt the killings of unarmed Black people.
“As you see that continue to unfold over the course of three months, you are going to continue to see violent activity,” Wolf predicted on ABC. The administration is “happy to provide resources to bring this violence to an end, violence that, again, across the ideological spectrum, left or right, the violence needs to end.”
Recalling what she described as an “anarchist mob” that encircled Sen. Rand Paul and his wife outside of the White House after the president’s nomination acceptance speech Thursday, Lara Trump said, “You didn’t see that happening on the other side,” because “that would never happen.”Rep. Karen Bass , who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, said Kenosha shouldn’t be used as a way to campaign.
Only 1 president that is tRump. This is his mess. Biden and Harris will clean it up come January 2021
who died? why terroristico don't tell a 'order supported died killed by green fascist' this is the truth. So why fucking why you continue to lie and sale us anarchy? why? why fucking why honest citizen don't blow the redactions of terrorist fascist?
Democrat run city, Democrat responsibility.
BIDEN IS NOT THE PRESIDENT! OR ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT TRUMP! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL HIM THAT!
blakehounshell Stop with the fucking ‘both sides’ takes. Biden and Kamala condemned the violent. Trump is ramping it up.
Well only one of them is inciting violence & has their surrogate proclaiming it helps them politically. That would the the orange one.
Democrat 'get in their FACES' MaxineWaters was the first I remember voicing it. I remember HillaryClinton saying there will not be any peace until Trump is gone. This is 100% democrat created, fostered, inspired and executed violence. The democrat party is the problem.
For God's sake! They self identified as trump supporters!! What do you need, neon?
Brought to us (USA)by Donald J. Trump who stoked racism from the first day of his administration and it won’t quit until he is history!
A thousand Trump supporters shooting paint balls into the protestors and Trump says it’s the protestors fault.
It’s silly the way this is playing out. The violence is being committed by Biden supporters. No one seems to question that, so why are you at CNN encouraging a narrative that it is the Republican Party inciting or at the cause of these violent acts?
This shit should have been over a long time ago. Democratic mayor let this violence happen and it took others to go there and try to shut it down. Now someone had to die and the whole country is concerned. Finally the left and all of the left media is on top of it? Bullshit!
Please stop the both sides crap. Who is the President of the United States today? If he could take credit for what good happens under his watch, he should be man enough to take responsibility for the bad and ugly that is occurring under his watch especially since he incited them.
onahunttoday Except that one candidate is actually the president and therefore actually responsible for the violence and chaos.
We KNOW who's causing the violence. Instigating it, supporting it and it isn't Joe Biden.... it's the Party of Putin. donald j tRump.
Fine people on both sides, right?
hey it's tRump's watch. This is happening on his watch. Didn't happen under any other President, Democrat or Republican.
It's been planned by Trump from the beginning. And for a good reason. Another distraction from Covid-19 during his campaign and use taxpayers money for his propaganda.
Looks like the Trump group that went there caused chaos!
The left paid by some who want puppets in power pay for all these people to go raise hell in Portland an ya’ll think this is about social justice and Black lives come on man
You mean the President of the United States and a candidate? One who, if he cared to, could try to heal the nation and a private citizen?
It's the Right that bring guns to their Counter protests, not the Left. It's the Right that brought their huge AR 15 machine guns to the Halls of State Capital buildings, threatening Governors.
Shitty take
BIDEN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TrumpFailure TrumpRiots
Tiki torches march: white supremacy trump supporters; boat caravans: rich white supremacy trump supporters; pickup truck caravans: small penis compensating white supremacy trump supporters.
All Americans know the violence is purely communist-Democrats. All Americans know it is happening only in Democrat-run cities. All Americans can see Democrat leader's endorsing the violence. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
How is this Biden’s fault? He’s not president. Not even an impeached one.
I think that there is no doubt that anarchists have opportunistically hijacked the BLM movement protests. But instead of targeting them, Trump has called all protestors criminals. He is reluctant to condemn the black deaths that lead to the protests however.
Protests over racial injustice, millions out of work, over 180K dead from a virus, people facing eviction, devastation from fires & hurricanes, lowest economy since the depression-all under 'Fish LIps' Trumps watch.
Hitler used violent gangs and street thugs called the “Sturmabteilung”, meaning ‘assault division’, to intimidate, harass and violently assault his political opposition. In Germany the people gave in to the oppressions! Will we as Americans let this happen Again
BLM Only come out when a Criminal is Shot! Blacks Kill Blacks in record number destroy community's children dying Where is BLM to Address the real Problem in there community's! Fabricated Racism by BLM Shaming History to make Racism Relevant in 2020!! Despicable!!
Yes. Well, as Trump’s brownshirts massed and headed into the protest areas and baby Hitler brought his AR15 to one and killed 2 people, it’s fairly clear. (Not to mention 7 bullets into the black guy’s back yet Baby Hitler was allowed to go home.)
Taking a page right out of Hitler's playbook, Trump is promoting chaos and violence so that he can campaign against it. StopFascism
There is plenty of blame to go around but the gunman in Portland and the shooter in Kenosha both need to feel the full weight of the justice system coming down on both of them for what they have done.
It's Donald Trump to blame.
blakehounshell It’s TrumpViolence
This is all a result of white supremest aggression and the lack of justice in the wake,, dont be confused by the vitriol,,
It’s all radical democrats.
Media playing both sides. Well done, you are actually living up to that freak in our White House's assessment of you. Tragic. Not worth a damn to democracy.
The mayor has refused help for months.
It is neither's fault. It falls on Ted Wheeler.
Please stop equating the deadly violence on the right and Americans protesting police violence & institutionalized racism. Why not call this what it is? I will... Here: The protests are a public rejection of fascism. Please , be accurate.
Lol, this is the equivalent of the company tanking, and the CEO blaming a customer... This is trumps America. Fucking own it
