Joe Biden Finally Addresses Riots and Violence One Day After CNN Warns of Bad Polling
“It’s very little, and very late, maybe even too late to save his campaign.”
When it comes to riots and violence in American cities, the silence from Democrats has been deafening. Over the course of their national convention, the subject never came up, even once.
Joe Biden finally said something on Thursday.
Michael Goodwin of the New York Post says it’s too late:
Joe Biden finally breaks silence on urban violence, too late
For the first time in three days, the biggest political news of the day didn’t come out of the Republican convention. It came out of a basement in Delaware.
Joe Biden finally raised an objection to the riots, arson, murder and looting tearing apart American cities. To be sure, his wasn’t a strong voice, but at least he finally broke his silence.
“The needless violence won’t heal us,” the Democrats’ nominee said in a statement focused mostly on the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.
It’s very little, and very late, maybe even too late to save his campaign.
Dems made what I believe to be a historic error in failing to say a single word — a single word — about the national urban crisis during their convention last week. They said nothing about the violence and the tent cities of homeless popping up everywhere, yet embraced the Black Lives Matter movement, frequently criticized the police and romanced protesters as a new wave of selfless heroes.
See the video below:
It’s very important to note, that Biden finally took this step one day after Don Lemon of CNN warned Democrats that this was beginning to have a negative impact on their polling numbers.
Media reporter Joe Concha writes at The Hill:
CNN’s Lemon warns of Democratic ‘blind spot’ on ‘riots’: ‘It shows up in the polling’
CNN’s Don Lemon said Tuesday night that Democrats “ignoring” riots in some U.S. cities represents a “blind spot” for the party, and called on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to address the problem because it is “sticking” in polling and focus groups.
The perspective comes after deadly violence continued in Kenosha, Wis., with three shot and two dead amid rioting following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Lemon called Kenosha a “Rorschach test for the entire country” during his handoff with 9 p.m. anchor Chris Cuomo.
“It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups. It is the only thing right now that is sticking,” Lemon said ahead of “CNN Tonight” on Tuesday. “The riots and the protests have become indistinguishable.”

This is what it took for the Democrat nominee for president to finally speak up about the riots. Not the destroyed lives, businesses, or neighborhoods, but bad polling.
That should tell you everything you need to know.

I think he should have gone with….”If you riot, you ain’t black”
“If you continue to riot, I’m gonna put y’ll back in chains.”
You mean a DIM would screech:
“If you don’t murder, riot and rape, then you ain’t a Democrat!”
Ho ho ho….It’s Magic!
“C-Span Got So Many Callers Defecting From Democrat Party They Changed Labels On Phone Lines… ”

Hate to say it, but it’s more likely that the Republican line was so busy that Trump supporters started calling the Democrat and Independent lines in order to get on air.
“Defecting From Democrat”
I have been saying for a long time that this was going to happen, and now it is, just in time.
I saw video one particular ghoul with skinny arms screaming at a couple strolling in D.C. after the RNC. The ghoul was reveling in her insane tantrum. I’ll bet for the first time in her life she felt important and empowered while stalking and haranguing the couple. The democrats have lost control of their monster, they couldn’t stop it if they truly wanted to (they don’t).
The only DC inhabitant, temporary or permanent, who should be allowed to throw a tantrum is the now week-old baby Giant Panda, and it did throw one yesterday. Extremely small in size, but big in lung capacity and the ability to roll around.
I think that they have created political suicide, hallelujah.
Biden saying they should stop means they will stop. Yeah, right.
And it wasn’t long ago that VP candidate Harris said they were a good thing.
I see a campaign commercial in the making.
Bidens’ entire agenda will be framed much like this…as in
“Oughta; Could’ve; Shoulf’ve”. But WILL he???
Dems condoned the violence making them as bad as the thugs on the street.
The MSM also ignored the violence and only claimed protests were peaceful.
You can’t make this sh*t up — this feeble-minded dotard’s handlers/puppeteers are only motivated to have Biden condemn Dhimmi-crat agitator-jackboots’ violence when it threatens their political prospects and ambitions!
These idiots couldn’t be bothered to speak up to condemn violence and jackbooted, totalitarian thuggery, because, you know, it’s intrinsically morally wrong. No, like true, greasy, self-serving, contemptible Dhimmi-crat reprobates, they are only moved to moral action when their pretensions to power are threatened.
To Hell with these idiots.
And only after they get warned by a supposed “journalist”. You really couldn’t make this shit up, people wouldn’t believe anything could be so stupid.
Stupid, and, morally bankrupt. These Dhimmi-crat idiots don’t give a damn about people’s lives or livelihoods. All they care about it grabbing and keeping power. I have given in to the Dark Side, I am consumed by hate for the vile Dhimmi-crats.
Don’t beat yourself up. Hating evil does not make you evil.
A truly sad,pathetic man. Jill. For once, be a good wife. Take him by the hand, turn him from the cameras, and tell him it’s over.
Yes, it is now, officially, the nominee. But, he just gets worse. The whole thing is cringe-making.
Soon they be sticking in Michelle as the Pres. in Waiting.
I wonder if Michelle will pitch a Hillary like tantrum when she loses?
She already has the Angry Black Woman® routine down pat…
And, not to make to fine a point, but he’s lying. Lying about the Obama administration’s record. Lying about Kellyanne. And lying about the President’s Charlottesville remarks. This guy is despicable.
That’s being too generous..It’s a lie if you know it to be false. With Joe it’s that he really doesn’t know..and that’s the scary part if voters give him the benefit of the doubt when in fact there is no doubt that he has dementia. Total abuse to the country for allowing him to go this far into the election and evil by the Democrat nominating team to allow it to get this far.
Indeed, the scary part is that so many on the Left believe those lies (and many other lies) are true, ignoring all evidence to the contrary.
By constantly repeating the lies, they’ve created their own reality bubble and can no longer see beyond its horizons.
Joe isn’t the only one suffering from cognitive impairment.
The Democrats should be called the Reflexives. The toothpaste is out of the tube.
Yes, it is, as they ride the Crest of the Votes they will try to get by any means necessary. They never change their Stripes.
I’m so conflicted…..
Chicago Teachers Union “Endorses” Guillotine Built By Protesters Outside Jeff Bezos’ House

Bottom line: he employs tens of thousands of people in jobs that may not pay a lot, but neither did Sears, and all Amazon is, is what Sears could have been if they had recognized the potential of the web. I dislike many of his policies, but respect decisions he’s made, like walking away from NYC when it was clear they (through their representatives) didn’t want the jobs, and like he is starting to do in Seattle.
To paraphrase the BLM saying, DNC silence encourages the violence.
Once that spigot was turned on turning it off will be difficult. I doubt the Antifa and BLM are that discipline
Turning it off will require lots of lead, and body bags. But a purge would be good for America.
In fact, IF the riots/arson-fest can be turned off simply by a bumbled “you should stop this” from the D candidate, then we know that they actually have full control of it, and have since the beginning. This actually makes it that much worse.
What is the matter with these people.
BLM lost 25 approval points. The left again over played
Very much too little, too late and rather pointless since his VP running mate is still playing cheerleader to the riots and apparently still considers them as a legitimate form of protest.
Called the riots “wrong” but repeated the lie about “systemic racism” that’s been fueling them.
Polls and focus groups – finally, a reason to stop the rioting, burning, looting, and pillaging.
The Trump campaign needs to broadcast a daily ABC Nightline countup, “Day xxx of Communist urban rioting without condemnation by a single Democrat.”
Biden’s comment against rioting and such is clearly in response to their sagging poll numbers indicating that they really don;t care about anything other than winning.
Also, these comments by Biden are far too late. By now the violence, rioting, looting, etc., are indelibly associated with the Democrats. They are now seen as the party of violence.
Lastly, should the rioting mysteriously and mystically all but stop after these calls by Biden, then it will show how the Democrats are and always have been in complete control of the violence. It would show that the Democrats sponsored and started the violence for the purpose of scaring Americans to vote Democrat. It would also show how they could not care less about those they hurt in the course of their campaign of violence.
“Very little and very late” is in fact a superbly apt summary of Joe Biden’s entire life.
I hope they consider it for his tombstone.
