[Global Network Reporter Cui Wei] "Strange speech!" On August 31, local time, US President Trump held a press conference at the White House to respond to Democratic presidential candidate Biden’s speech that day. Not only that, Trump also tweeted that Biden spent too much time blaming the police in his speech than condemning violent demonstrators, all in order to get the support of radical leftists. Earlier in the day, Biden delivered a campaign speech, once again condemning the recent violent demonstrations in the United States, and bombarded Trump to incite violence and put all Americans in danger, which is a "toxic existence."
Shortly after Biden’s speech, Trump tweeted back: "I just listened to what Biden said. In my opinion, he blames the police far more than he condemns thugs, anarchists, instigators and robbers, but he will never blame these people, otherwise he will lose the radical leftists supported by Bernie Sanders! "
Not only that, Trump once again attacked Biden in an interview at the White House that night, saying that he had made a "strange speech."
"Biden gave a strange speech in Pittsburgh today. He didn’t mention the facts, he didn’t mention the far left, he didn’t mention the far left at all. From what I saw, I don’t believe he mentioned ‘ The anti-fascist movement ’ (ANTIFA), this criminal organization. " Trump said.
According to Washington post’s report on the 31st, Biden made a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that day, condemning the recent escalating street violence in several cities in the United States, and directed his finger at Trump.
Biden stressed that the nationwide homicide rate in the United States has increased by 26% this year, and he immediately asked: "Do you really feel safer under the leadership of Donald Trump?" He continued: "If I were president today, this country would be safer. We will see fewer violent incidents. " Biden also said: "Under the leadership of President Trump, even the US military does not feel safe."
According to CNN, Biden constantly attacked Trump in his speech, accusing Trump of inciting violence, so as to escape the responsibility of plunging the United States into economic crisis in the COVID-19 epidemic. Not only that, Biden also accused Trump of indulging his "armed supporters" in violent clashes with his protesters, and refused to call on supporters to stop violence. "This shows how weak he is."
CNN said that in his speech, Biden also called Trump a "poisonous existence". He said: "Donald Trump has been a poisonous existence in our country for four years. Can we get rid of this toxin? Or will we make it a permanent part of our national character? "
Regarding Biden’s speech, Washington post said that compared with his speech at the Democratic Convention nearly two weeks ago, Biden made a "significant change" in this speech. The newspaper said that in the speech of the Democratic Party Congress, he never directly named Trump in his speech. But in this speech on Monday, he mentioned Trump’s name 32 times.
Less than three months before the 2020 US presidential election, the anti-racial discrimination riots in the United States have intensified. On August 23, Jacob Blake, a black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was shot seven times in the back by the police without any weapons, and protests broke out in Wisconsin and other places immediately. On the evening of the 29th local time, a scuffle broke out in the streets of downtown Portland, Oregon, USA: when a motorcade supporting Trump entered the city, it clashed with a group of protesters who supported "black people’s lives are also lives". There was also a shooting incident during the conflict, and one person was shot in the chest and died.
On August 30th, local time, US President Trump repeatedly condemned the protests that broke out in Portland the night before, and directed his finger at Ted Wheeler, a Democrat and mayor of Portland, calling him a "fool" who tried to "blend in" with anarchists, while what Portland needed was "law and order".
