Democrats Accuse The President Of Encouraging Violence For Political Gain


Democrats are accusing President Trump of stirring up racial tensions in order to benefit his campaign when he praised supporters that clashed with protesters in Portland then announced his plans to travel to Kenosha

The day after a supporter of a right-wing group was shot and killed in Portland, Trump posted a series of tweets praising his supporters as "GREAT PATRIOTS!" and retweeted the deceased man's name with the message, "Rest in peace."

Trump also added that the city's Democratic mayor was to blame for the man's death.

Later, Trump tweeted, "The people of Portland, like all other cities & parts of our great Country, want Law & Order. The Radical Left Democrat Mayors, like the dummy running Portland, or the guy right now in his basement unwilling to lead or even speak out against crime, will never be able to do it!”

Throughout the summer, Trump has addressed the violence and lawlessness that has put American cities under siege. Democrats are using this to accuse the president of attempting to stoke further violence for political gain instead of trying to find a way to settle tensions.

In a statement responding to the shooting, Biden said, "He may think that was in our streets is good for his reelection chances, but that is not presidential leadership -- or even basic human compassion."

Biden added that he "unequivocally" condemned the violence and accused the president of "recklessly encouraging" it.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, also a Democrat, blames Trump for tensions across the country.

Wheeler asked during a televised news conference, "Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence? It's you who have created the hate and the division."

Trump responded to these tweets by labeling Wheeler a "wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat."

The mayor shot back, "I'd appreciate that the president supports us or stay the hell out of the way."

It's funny how the Democrats only acknowledge the violence when they want to blame it on the president, otherwise they only refer to it as "peaceful protest."
