For. Us democratic president ial candidate joe biden has been campaigning in the key election battleground state of wisconsin he brought a message of healing and unity to the troubled city of konoha which has been shaken by often violent protests after a Police Shooting left a black father paralyzed bidens approach was deliberately measured in contrast to president Donald Trumps more confrontational visits 2 days earlier. At conneaut is grace through from church democratic president ial hopeful joe biden met with local politicians and Business Owners as well as members of Law Enforcement his stated goal to try to unify this fractured community after the Police Shooting of jacob blake that sparked days of protests before arriving at the church biden and blake talked on the phone as you know as i got off their plane. Had an opportunity to spend some time with jacob on the phone hes out of i. C. U. We spoke for about 15 minutes he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. How were they want to get or not he was not going to give up and by then went on to level of finleyville the accusation of President Donald Trump looked for encouraging race based hatred i thought you could defeat hate it only hides only hives and when someone in authority breathes oxygen out of that rock. It legitimizes those folks to come on. He didnt stop here comes just 2 days after trump visited commercial in contrast to trump did not meet with blakers family but rather threw his support behind Law Enforcement denouncing protestors as domestic terrorists well but it has been widely supportive of the black laws matter protests he made a point of condemning looting and violence none of it justifies through deed burning or anything else so we are no so angry you are if you luda you burn you should be held accountable as someone who doesnt enter the house period.

Yeah there are several reasons that he ought to have made this trip he may have been looking to differentiate his response to how the current president is handling the protests biden in a Community Meeting as you mentioned at a local church earlier praised the black lives Matter Movement but he also said that any kind of violence would not be tolerated now trump for his part fully focused on the pockets of violence earlier this week he has not addressed the social injustice thats causing the protests and across the country and of course republicans have been attacking joe biden for not being visible that hes hiding in his basement this is only his 3rd trip in the pandemic of course given that there is a covert 1000 outbreak in travel has been restricted but this is really allowed trump to dictate the conversation and focus it on the pockets of violence as opposed to other major major issues that the nation is grappling with right now like the pandemic and the struggling economy so by and definitely wants to drive home his own message that these difficulties are being faced under a Trump Administration and pablo all of this of course happening under the umbrella of an Election Campaign and election day is 2 months away 4 years ago when Hillary Clinton was running for the Nations Highest Office she did not go to wisconsin once and she went on to lose by less than a percentage point to tromp its a battleground state and the democrats do not want a repeat of that of 2016.
