As former President Donald Trump is set to resume his campaign for the White House, the Biden campaign highlights what it calls incitements to violence.
With former President Donald Trump set to return to the campaign trail, Biden for President wants Americans to consider what it calls a long track record of him inciting political violence.
At a press conference held at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in Washington on April 1, Biden for President’s Communications Director Michael Tyler said Trump provokes political violence as a matter of routine.
“Donald Trump chooses to traffic in violence as he seeks to regain power,” Mr. Tyler told reporters. “Donald Trump is engaging in extreme rhetoric that promotes division, hate, and violence in our country.”
On April 2, President Trump is scheduled to appear in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Epoch Times previously reported that the Grand Rapids appearance is likely in reference to the recent killing of a 25-year-old woman allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant. President Trump’s campaign is now calling America’s immigration issues “Biden’s border bloodbath.“
Mr. Tyler pointed to a March 29 post published by President Trump on Truth Social with an image of President Biden hogtied and making reference to President Trump’s “bloodbath” comment at a March 16 rally in Ohio.
Violence is “central to Trump’s brand of politics,” said Mr. Tyler, citing numerous remarks President Trump has made since his political career began ahead of the 2016 general election.
Also speaking at the press conference were former members of the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department, who were present during the Capitol breach on Jan. 6, 2021.
The breach promises to be a key political issue for both the Democrat and Republican candidates in 2024. Both President Biden and President Trump are likely to make that day central to their campaigns.
Both Aquilino Gonell, formerly a sergeant with the Capitol Police, and Daniel Hodges, formerly an officer with the Metropolitan Police, denounced President Trump and his embrace of those who participated in the breach.
