President Donald Trump and his supporters say that “no one will be safe in Biden’s America” as they point to violent demonstrations in several cities.
However, critics of the president point out that the violence is taking place while he is in the Oval Office.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday, host Chuck Todd pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on whether Trump bears responsibility for the unrest in the streets.
He asked, “I look at the violence this week, Mr. Meadows, this is in Donald Trump’s America. How much responsibility should voters be giving the president for his inability to keep the streets safe?”
“You can try to reframe it that way, Chuck. But that’s just not accurate,” Meadows responded.
He continued to say that the White House offered to send National Guard troops and federal Law Enforcement officers to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to help quell the violence that erupted after the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Meadows claimed it was only after two people were shot and killed amid the unrest in Kenosha that Gov. Tony Evers (D) accepted federal assistance.
