He accused Trump of “fanning the flames” to get reelected. “The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally,” Biden said in a lengthy statement. “I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same.” Portland police are investigating the shooting of a man who was affiliated with a far-right group. It’s not clear if the shooting was connected to the fights between counter-demonstrators and Trump supporters. Clashes occurred as a large group of Trump supporters drove through downtown Portland in a caravan of hundreds of vehicles Saturday. Videos from the confrontation show protesters hurling things like water bottles at the Trump caravan and Trump supporters shooting protesters with paint balls and what appears to be pepper spray. There have been nightly protests in Portland for more than three months since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Trump has repeatedly condemned demonstrators and called for a return to “law and order” in Portland. “We must not become a country at war with ourselves. A country that accepts the killing of fellow Americans who do not agree with you. A country that vows vengeance toward one another,” Biden said. “But that is the America that President Trump wants us to be, the America he believes we are.” In a barrage of tweets responding to the Portland violence, Trump denounced Black Lives Matter protesters as “agitators and thugs” and shared a video of the caravan driving into Portland and called them “GREAT PATRIOTS!” The president also attacked Democratic state and local officials over the continued protests and called for federal response to demonstrations. Biden accused Trump of “fanning the flames of hate and division,” encouraging violence and instilling fear to garner support. “He may believe tweeting about law and order makes him strong – but his failure to call on his supporters to stop seeking conflict shows just how weak he is,” Biden said. “He may think that war in our streets is good for his reelection chances, but that is not presidential leadership – or even basic human compassion.” The violence in Portland comes days after a 17-year-old Trump supporter was accused of fatally shooting two people and seriously wounding a third person during clashes in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kenosha, a former auto industry hub between Milwaukee and Chicago, has been gripped by unrest in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man. » Subscribe to CNBC TV: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCtelevision » Subscribe to CNBC: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCclassic Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
