PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Biden is forcefully condemning the violence at recent protests while also blaming President Donald Trump for fomenting the divide that's sparking it. He's dismissing his presidential opponent as incapable of tackling the violence himself.

“He doesn't want to shed light, he wants to generate heat, and he’s stoking violence in our cities,” Biden said during remarks in Pittsburgh Monday. “He can't stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it."

Biden went on to denounce rioting, looting and arson at recent protests.

Even during douchebag's 2016 campaign he was calling for violence at his rallies. He encouraged his supporters to beat up protesters. He was gloating that Dems are weak for not beating up protesters at Dem rallies.
