Joe Biden is on defense in the wake of a resurgence of violent riots and tense clashes sparked by anger over race relations and police brutality, forced to confront one of the largest electoral arguments from Republicans — that the Democrats are unwilling and unable to restore law and order across the country.
Protests and violent riots, which included looting and arson, broke out in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after a video of a police officer shooting Jacob Blake, a black man, in the back on Sunday went viral. Also in response to the Kenosha shooting, activists in Washington, D.C., confronted individuals sitting in restaurants, yelling in their faces to raise a fist in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. The “tactic” was widely condemned by liberal commentators.
