Facts First: President Trump's claim is entirely false. Joe Biden has condemned the violence in Philadelphia.

At a campaign rally on Thursday in Tampa, Florida, Trump claimed that the former vice president has refused to condemn the Philadelphia violence that has followed the Monday death of Walter Wallace Jr., a Black man who was shot and killed by police while holding a knife on a city street. Trump said at the rally that Biden is not only supportive of Philadelphia rioters but also that Biden got confused when he was asked about the subject."Look what he's doing in Philadelphia.

" He continued by citing Wallace's father's opposition to the violence, saying,"As the victim's father said, 'Do not do this. It's not what my son -- you're not helping. You're hurting. You're not helping my son.'"Trump's accusation was the latest in a series. For months, he has falsely insisted that Biden has not denounced rioting and looting that the former vice president has actually denounced.

PRESIDENT TRUMP LIES WITH DISINFORMATION ALL THE TIME FORCE OF HABIT

You have already conceded. I guess you want Biden to start working even before counting of votes. How thoughtful of you to know when to fold in. Don't be in a rush, power will change hands come January

Sure he did, ok.

Joe Biden legacy is past and imaginary. Platinum Legacy is real legacy for you and your family’s future

Has not condemned ANTIFA.

Fact Check: Biden said...... oh wait we only fact check Trump on CNN.

He dishes disinformation to his illiterate audience. He thinks most Americans are illiterate, unenlightened.

you are fake news and your fact checkers are far left loons

You won’t call off your poor boys

Yea sure! Biden condemned regular violence in Philadelphia BUT NOT VIOLENCE BY PROTESTERS!!! ACTUALLY BIDEN ENCOURAGED VIOLENCE BY PROTESTERS AL THE TIME!!!!

Yes but the debate mixup can be explained. Trump was hopped up on drugs because he was already positive for COVID. They just didn’t tell us until a few days later. He really needed that fund raising dinner to happen first.

People please remember when Trump talks lies come out. He says nothing truthful!!

Only very recently.

Trump for Jobs Biden for Mobs It's a simple choice.

SenMikeLee This is why we have fact checkers! It certainly hasn't censored your king from lying, has it?

트럼프 화이팅

stop fucking lying

Out of them 2, WHO'S THE ONE IN POWER, THAT CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? HINT: IT AIN'T BIDEN

Actually, he didn't condemn the violence in Philly. He said there was no excuse for rioting and looting. He didn't condemn the groups responsible for it. You always play this semantics bullshit game with what President Trump says, but not with what anyone on the Left says.

REALLY Then why has BIDEN HARRIS PELOSI SCHUMER and Every Democrat City and State Leadership allowed your cities to burn, be looted, businesses destroyed, and citizens be killed during the ANARCHY and they wouldn't allow TRUMP to come in to end it. They all told him NO!

Facebook fact-checkers to Trump supporters: We are not trying to censor you'Anything I put on there about our president is generally only on for a few minutes, and then all of a sudden they're fact checking me,' one woman outside a rally for President Trump in Bemidji, Minnesota told me last month. 'The fact-checkers [are] wrong.' Maybe that's because Facbook is the largest financial contributor to the 'independent' fact checking company they use. They are just fact checking themselves. But any objective impartial fact check would be correcting the right 99% of the time. They just lie and engage in disinformation so much more than anyone else Clinton news network are the enemy of Americans, hows that fact for you.
