Joe Biden denounces violence on all sides, but never mentions Black Lives Matter or Antifa,

as the media sing his praises.

Trump defends Kyle Rittenhouse and paintball gun wielding protesters in Portland,

and the media demand Trump visit with Jacob Blake's family.

Wisconsin, because he understood that the backdrop of burned cities, cities burned by people

presumably who largely support him,

would have been kind of bad. So instead he went to Pittsburgh. He flew out of his basement to Pittsburgh.

He spoke for approximately 12 minutes. He got back in his plane. He got back in his basement.

That was his schedule yesterday. And in the process of those 12 minutes, he apparently did something

great and phenomenal. He said violence is bad. Violence is very,

very bad guys. Now, this is really not enough. And the way you know this isn't enough is because

the riots continued in Portland last night. But saying violence is bad is apparently all that was

required of Joe Biden. Now, that's kind of weird. It's a weird take because normally, if you're going

to denounce violence, what you have to do is denounce the movement that is causing the violence.

You have to denounce the people who are associated with the violence.

You can't just come out and say, all violence is bad.

This would be called obfuscating.

In fact, it would be a form of moral cowardice.

To do the routine where there is violence in America's major cities and then just say, you know what, I don't like things burning. Violence is not good. That is completely useless. In fact, it is not only useful, it is it is counterproductive when you then go ahead and grant credence to all of the arguments of the people who are trying to literally burn buildings. And that's exactly what Joe Biden did. But the media have set up a bar so low for Joe Biden, so unbelievably low for Joe Biden that it would be nearly impossible for him not to clear the bar unless you were actually dead. And I joke about Joe Biden being dead. And the truth is he's only about half dead. He's only mostly dead. I've seen wars. I've seen wars. He's only mostly dead. So all Joe Biden really had to do, according to the media, we just come out and be like rioting is bad and looting is bad. And that's it. That's it. And stay awake for 12 minutes and take no questions and turn around and go back to his basement in Delaware. And that's precisely what Joe Biden did. And the media celebrated. What an active heroism. Where is Trump doing the same thing? Why can't Trump say that violence and looting are bad?
