The Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, said on Monday that President Donald Trump "has failed to protect the United States", referring to the acts of violence in the protests over the attack by a police officer on Jacob Blake, in Kenosha , Wisconsin.
"The simple truth is that Donald Trump has failed to protect America and now he is trying to scare America. Trump keeps saying that if he were president you would feel safer, safer. Well, he is the president, you will. know it or not, "Biden said from Pittsburgh.
Biden also affirmed that the president "adds fuel to all the fires."
"Does anyone think there will be less violence in the United States if Trump is reelected?" Biden asked.
"We need justice. And security. We are facing multiple crises, which under the Trump administration continue to multiply," he added.
Biden recalled the cases of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, both killed by police officers, and Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back and paralyzed from the waist down.
"Trump cannot stop the violence, because for years he has fomented it," Biden said, accusing him of profiting from the demonstrations that have been recorded in rejection of police brutality against black people.
"The common threat is the current president who has failed to do his job," Biden said.
I want a safe America, safe from COVID, safe from crime and looting, safe from racist violence, safe from bad police.
Safe from another four more years of Trump "
