"There is no place in political violence for political violence!"

[michelefiorilla]

There should be NOBODY who does not agree with this statement.

How about the responsibility of the media's non-stop hate for Trump?

[neoevans]

for some strange reason I like biden more than kamala

Democrats: We must stop this threat to democracy at also cost, also we condemn all kinds of political violence.

Same guy who said we got to keep Trump in our Bulls Eyes .

Why hasn't Harris made a live statement?

[thejcatholic]

Him coming out in a Trump hat would've done more than this whole speech

[Lynn-iw]

How about the political violence against Palestinians using taxpayer dollars? Hypocrite.

[lesterpace]

Please say THERE IS NO PLACE FOR ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE ANY WHERE ON EARTH. LOVE.

I'm as concerned about Trump's safety as he is about his marriage vows.

I think it's a fair statement to say that we ALL must stop the HATE rhetoric, right?
But, how do you explain a post that Trump made just last night, exactly four words, that read
*I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!*

If we ALL have to stop hateful rhetoric, what about a 78 year old former president and current candidate posting that?

[straighttoyou]

It? He says it, and not people being shot at.
Interesting though, more gun laws then ever

[DanielHall-je]

They’ve tried law fare and lost. Now 2 attempts and he’s still kicking! Give up already he’s in Gods hands and you can’t touch him

*AGREED !*

*JAN 6 21 NEVER FORGET* 🇺🇸

"and here I say" "it takes horrible people" "to create a horrible country" naturally, as if you planned it all along

[meowmeowbobo]

Didnt this already happened? And then biden said something. Am I in a deja vu?

[pokFryRicebich]

Why not Last night from Oval office? Unexceptable
