PHILADELPHIA - In his first major address in weeks, former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday will vow not to “fan the flames of hate” if elected president and instead seek “to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued” the United States.
Speaking in Philadelphia – a city rocked by sometimes violent protests in recent days – Biden will take square aim at President Donald Trump’s handling of the wave of demonstrations across the country over racism and police misconduct, according to excerpts of the speech released by his campaign. “When peaceful protesters are dispersed by the order of the president from the doorstep of the people’s house, the White House — using tear gas and flash grenades — in order to stage a photo op at a noble church, we can be forgiven for believing that the president is more interested in power than in principle,” Biden is expected to say.
At least five U.S. police officers were shot and wounded during violent protests over the death of Floyd, police and media said, hours after Trump vowed on Monday to deploy the military if unrest did not stop.
