President Joe Biden is upping the pressure for others to speak out and denounce white supremacy.
During remarks in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday, Biden said, “White supremacy is a poison… running through our body politic. And it’s been allowed to fester and grow right in front of our eyes. No more.”
“We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America. None,” he continued.
Additionally, Biden said, “Failure to say that is going to be complicity. Silence is complicity. We cannot remain silent.”

Biden’s speech comes after a gunman opened fire in a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on Saturday.
The shooting left 10 people dead, and 13 injured, and law enforcement officials say it was racially motivated.
Eleven of the 13 people shot were Black.
The 18-year-old suspect in the shooting allegedly posted a 180-page document that contained racist language.
