Biden to Host Summit Countering Hate-Fueled Violence
Summary from the AllSides News Team
President Biden will host a summit next month to counter "hate-fueled violence."
The event, titled "United We Stand," will take place on Sept. 15 and address the "corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety." White House officials on Friday said that the summit will bring together a bipartisan group of political leaders, civil rights groups and business executives to "put forward a shared vision for a more united America." Advocates urged Biden to host the summit after a teenage gunman killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in May.
Outlets across the spectrum highlighted how the racially-motivated attack sparked a national discourse on racial violence and "replacement theory." The Washington Post (Lean Left bias) noted how the announcement followed a "busy day of legal developments" surrounding the Mar-a-Lago affidavit. While left-and center-rated outlets were more likely to emphasize the bipartisan nature of the summit, some right-rated outlets referred to the event as an "anti-conservative summit."
