WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden warned Sunday of the the risks of political violence in the U.S. after Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying, “It’s time to cool it down.”
In a prime-time national address from the Oval Office, Biden said political passions can run high but “we must never descend into violence.”
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence — for any violence. Ever. Period. No exception. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said.
Biden spoke for about five minutes from the Oval Office. He noted that the Republican National Convention was opening in Milwaukee on Monday,

I guess it was better than standing in front of Independence Hall in dark red light and with a couple Marines as props while calling Trump and those MAGA Republicans as facists, racists and revolutionaries.

After almost 8 years of total hysteria from the woke/leftists, he wants to cool the rhetoric down? Someone needs to replace the battery running this man. He's gets more and more pathetic daily,

Biden…a sorry excuse for a man and a hideous excuse for a leader. He publicly lied about, vilified and disdained Trump knowing he could ignite an attack. It happened just as he hoped it would and now he wants to pretend that we all are culpable and need to tone down the rhetoric. If Trump had been killed Biden would smirk triumphantly, Harry Reid style, and say “it worked didn’t it? No more Trump to run against.”

When was the last time a sitting president had to tell the nation to "cool it down" after such an event? After Kennedy? After RFK/MLK? Reagan? Ford? Scalise? What do they know?

I would like to believe that he was sincere, but I'm sure his team was putting together that statement to make him sound admirable and cognitive after the catastrophic last two weeks. (Well, we know it ,has been longer than that)

Biden is FOS! It was his former boss who said you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight. And he was talking about his political opponents, not state terrorists like Iran whom he supported! And his attacks on Trump thru lawfare and false impeachments … violent and encouraging violence.
Best them, Mr. Trump! Do so politically. Shame them for a decade for what they’ve done to you and America!

Be of good cheer #8--1 of my sisters played the bully and tormentor with the very youngest ones.
She received reciprocal action so definitive, it took her years to even look at them crooked in my presence.
not so much as a fork full of mashed potatoes was ever launched.
