The former vice president condemned Trump for his photo op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church on Monday — a public relations stunt which required police officers to disperse peaceful protestors by using tear gas.
He continued, “Is this what we want to pass on to our children our grandchildren, fear, anger, finger-pointing, rather than the pursuit of happiness and competence and anxiety, self absorption, selfishness? Or do we want to be the America we know we can be?” He also pointed to Trump’s comments on the civil unrest unfolding in major cities, citing a presidential tweet in which Trump wrote, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” He then addressed the president’s threat of releasing “violent” dogs on protesters as referencing police tactics also used against protesters.
