A 2020 social media post by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden blaming then-President Trump for violence in the United States is drawing renewed criticism after violence has erupted on college campuses nationwide stemming from anti-Israel protests.
“Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch,” Biden posted on Twitter, now known as X, in August 2020. “Under his leadership. During his presidency.”
Another post from Biden during the summer of 2020 stated, “Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?”
A recent Gallup poll reported more than 75% of Americans believe there’s more crime in the country than there was in 2022.
David Avella, chairman of GOPAC and a veteran Republican strategist, told Fox News Digital, “Whether Biden’s statements condemning violence are hollow have less impact on his reelection then the fact that Americans feel less safe. Forty percent of Americans said they were afraid to walk alone at night within a mile of their home,” Avella continued.
“The last time we were at this level was 1993. In the next election, President Clinton was at 46% approval and Republicans gained 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and gained eight seats in the Senate. President Biden is at 39% approval and Americans are watching violence occur every day.”
