Trump hopes violence at protests will generate a backlash against Democrats; opponents accuse him of inciting more violence with his rhetoric.

Biden countered with a statement condemning violence and accusing Trump of “recklessly encouraging” it.

His critics say such a characterization is not only corrosively divisive, but illogical because, as Sen. Amy Klobuchar put it, recent events including the COVID-19 pandemic and months of unrest over police brutality are “happening under Donald Trump’s watch.”Klobuchar, a former Democratic presidential contender who appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” sought to turn Meadows’ contention on its head.Rep. Adam B.

The acting secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, was asked on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether the president’s retweet of the video from Portland heightened tensions.Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Ron Johnson , the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, refused to condemn Rittenhouse.

Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield, interviewed on the same show, said the Trump campaign had falsely accused Biden of failing to condemn violence associated with racial-justice protests.Trump, Bedingfield said, was seeking to deflect attention from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 180,000 Americans, the world’s highest reported death toll.

After sowing the seeds of hate, violence, bigotry and fear, Our Executive Dictator will harvest his crop by using it to divide America, claiming to be the cure for what he started. Death of his supporter will fire up his base and exemplify the need for his brand of government.

And it’s working. Stop the violence if you want Dems to win.

That’s ludicrous. It’s violence from the left and we all k is it. President Trump re-elected in a landslide

94 days of straight riots have been non stop Trump ads for most independents

It's time to put the protests on hold. They're using them. It's only a couple months.

It’s almost as if the violence has been encouraged

At this point wanton violence in the streets is the only chance Trump has for avoiding prison in January. Think about that. Vote.

happening under trump'S America. Not so much under Obama's America.

Democrat run cities and states are in debt and in chaos. Why don’t you stop lying to your trades and speak the truth

The problem is the Antifa and BLM violence, LA Times, not realDonaldTrump's reaction to it.

Why do Republicans call rioters and looters 'Leftist'? How do they know? Are all criminals Democrat by default if the mayor is a Dem? Or is rioting and looting exclusively Democrat crime? If there was a riot in a GOP lead city, is that a Right Wing mob? I really dont get it...

The more fear & chaos leftists stir up the more voters veer towards Trump who represents law & order. Game over.

Drive through south central or east l.a..i dare you!!

Not bies la times?

Trump's Boogaloo and Proud boys are the ones that are being violent. Trump's inciting violence. He's losing and people will get killed and Trump doesn't care. Sickening.

You and msm have been trying to shown protests as mostly peaceful when all the looting and rioting has been going on. Every time Trump denounced it you tried to show him as racist for not supporting them. You and MSM ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!!!

No criticism for the left and their allies for engaging in violence

Get these armed protesters to stop the madness (only if they disagree with liberal views - right?)

'There are no riots. Trump is lying.' [polls drop] 'Trump is causing for riots in American cities.' It's head spinning.

Wait what? Guaranteed republicans will not be burning, attacking the elderly, blinding police. That is the democrat skill and they are really good at it.

Democrats.... Some things never change.

By stopping the violence which puts a big dent in bidens agenda for votes .... The more Trump openly shows he's support to stop the violence the more biden and the MSM like you try and make him the agitator sorry we see passed that now ... We look beyond your bull shit

Did you read this? Our own president is inciting violence to help his re-election. This is not normal.

The only violence is coming from the leftist dems

This is the Steve Bannon playbook. The same one that brought us the Muslim ban and the 'caravan' drama in 2017. Talk about how Bannon is the mastermind behind Trump's actions. Drive a wedge b/w Trump and Bannon. It worked to get Bannon banished in 2017. It'll work again.

These are the armed protesters who have shut down legislatures, intimidated public health officials, shoot employees who ask them to mask (or cheer them on). They have been beside Trump for his catastrophic failure with COVID. 180,000 dead and he cheers people making it worse

Lets see these vanilla ISIS’ go thru Watts, Compton & South Central.

Yep since he sent them. Trump sent Terrorists into Portland last night and one man is already dead. You will be next LA. He hates the west coast as we don’t take orders from anyone! Be ready and have a plan. It’s the only way he can win.

Well now that really is some very creative spin! You should be quite proud. Oh sure the riots and violence are spurred by those who firmly and staunching line up in opposition to Trump, but don't think ill of them because 'that's just what Trump wants'. Very sly of you indeed!

Stupid premise.

Well, the democrats are doing a great job of helping him with that. Not sure why anyone would support the violence we are seeing and refer to anything as “mostly peaceful protests”. People aren’t stupid and doing this makes them think they are being deceived. That helps Trump.

And Die in the Process,,,

You are a joke . Nobody likes the viiolentce of all the groups that Biden and Harris supports.

How dare you FAKE NEWS LIARS frame this violence in this way? You are the scum that have facilitated this in our society. You are all evil liars. You are sick people.

This is Trumps version of MAGA. I think we had enough, is time for him to go!

Would be nice if you could cover some the violence happening locally as well. I often wonder why I bother to subscribe to your paper.

American fascists

Wtf, I am so tired of media covering for the actual violent people while framing the right as bad. This is BS

The violence is caused by MAGA supporters faking they are left wing Democrats.

The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manhattan DA and the New York AG. The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manhattan DA and the New York AG. The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manha

You have to be kidding me. Isn’t it around day 90 of protests in Portland? Weren’t 3 people killed in the CHAZ? Didn’t an actual innocent bystander get shot in Portland for wearing the wrong hat?

Violence as a manipulative tool for personal gain, communities in pain, people living under duress amid financial uncertainty in a global health crisis. This is Trump’s America. Divided States of Trump.

Real democrats don’t support rioters or violence. Just as I’m sure normal republicans don’t support unnecessary violence.

Oh, really? The KenoshaShooter is proving Trump is 100% responsible for inciting violence. Anyway, 'fun fact' Trump has been President for almost 4 years. The chaos has his name all over. TrumpRiots

Welcome to landslide 2020🇺🇸

So you finally admit the 'protesting' is not peaceful but violent one. How many burning building and people killed and attacked you needed to finally come out and say it?

Trump incites violence! Vote him out in November! Worst President in American history. 181,000 dead Americans due Trump’s incompetence!

You thought Democrats burning down Democrat cities was hurting him?

They don't even have to try. If the Democratic Party thinks their sponsoring of riots is going to help their party, I have some very bad news for them.

It's been to his advantage for over 100 days, you dolts. They don't need to 'seek to' anything.

To his advantage? So other people can’t protest too?

The destruction, disorder and total chaos speak for themselves.

Democrats say Trump visit may worsen protests in Wisconsin cityU.S. President Donald Trump should not visit Kenosha, Wisconsin, the city where protests erupted last week after a Black man was shot in the back by a white police officer, the state's Democratic lieutenant governor said on Sunday. More propaganda. Most protesters are peaceful. It is the White Nationalist Trump supporters that are coming in from outside. So the 600 vehicle Isis-like MAGA caravan that drove to Portland had nothing to do with it? Chad Wolf is clearly right on this one. The city officials have allowed this lawlessness for months. It is reprehensible and inexcusable. They have completely abandoned the people of their city.
