Stefanik Calls Biden’s Condemnation of Violence ‘Too Little Too Late’

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is not giving Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden credit for condemning violent demonstrations that have erupted in several U.S. cities.

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning, Stefanik said, “👤Joe Biden … it’s too little too late, he has been silent been two and a half months.”

“But they are now talking about this, because they know that as voters are watching their TV screens and concerned about the safety and security in their community, this is going to become one of the key deciding issues as people head to the polls this November,” she said.

On Wednesday afternoon, Biden tweeted a video where he voiced support for peaceful protests against police brutality but condemned “needless violence.”

“What I saw in that video makes me sick,” Biden said of the video that captured the moment 👤Jacob Blake was shot by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “Once again, a black man, 👤Jacob Blake, has been shot by the police in broad daylight with the whole world watching.”

Biden expressed his belief that “justice must and will be done.”
