Biden trashes Trump for being 'too scared' to repudiate Kyle Rittenhouse: 'He is too weak

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/biden-trashes-trump-for-being-too-scared-to-repudiate-kyle-rittenhouse-he-is-too-weak.

"Tonight, the president declined to rebuke violence,” Biden said in a statement. “He wouldn’t even repudiate one of his supporters who is charged with murder because of his attacks on others."

"He is too weak, too scared of the hatred he has stirred to put an end to it,” Biden charged.

“So once again, I urge the president to join me in saying that while peaceful protest is a right — a necessity — violence is wrong, period. No matter who does it, no matter what political affiliation they have. Period,” he repeated. “If Donald Trump can’t say that, then he is unfit to be president, and his preference for more violence, not less, is clear.

GOOOOOO JOE!!!

I read an article a couple of days ago sharing the opinion that chump being perceived as weak is the only thing that could turn his base against him.

GO JOE!!!!!!

I like the way he took the fight to Trump immediately after Trump's lack of statement. Very pugilistic.

HE HAS ALWAYS SUPPORTED THE VIOLENCE. Remember CharlotteVille -- remember him supporting white supremacists. Trump supports evil and violence.

Dotard is weak. It's true, hits at what he thinks is his strong point and will make him crazy.

Experts have said that the only perception that will turn his base is that of weakness.

I'd read recently that a perception of weakness is the only factor that could cause deplorables to abandon him.

This is the one dynamic that many experts believe could case base to abandon him for: being perceived as weak.

Chumputin is so out of his shitbag element opposing Joe.

GOOOOOOO JOE!

Trump can only foment violence but can't call for peace. He's afraid his base will turn on him if he stops the fear rhetoric and calls for nonviolence.

Period,” he repeated. “If Donald Trump can’t say that, then he is unfit to be president, and his preference for more violence, not less, is clear."

That is a great way to assert ownership of the non-violence frame. Trump has no option but trying to defend his position or agreeing with Biden.
