Joe Biden's Speech on Violence and Civil Unrest

This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:

THE QUICK FACTS

• On Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden gave a speech condemning rioting and looting, rebutting President Trump's claims that he was tolerant of "thugs and agitators" fomenting unrest in American cities.
• Biden argued: "He keeps telling you if only he was president it wouldn’t happen. He keeps telling us if he was president you would feel safe. Well — he is president."
• Trump responded to Biden's speech, criticizing his failure to single out the far left and Antifa: "The violent rioters share Biden’s same talking points, and they share his same agenda for our nation. And even his strange speech today that he made in Pittsburgh, he didn’t mention the fact, and he didn’t mention the far left."
• As nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism continue, many cities have seen violent incidents. The week leading up to Biden's speech saw incidents of gun violence during demonstrations, with one dead in Portland, Oregon and two dead in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
