Joe Biden visited a Black Lives Matter protest site in Delaware as Trump rages on Twitter against demonstrators
released on Friday, Biden urged the country to come together and address the "national crisis" of police brutality against black people.
"The original sin of the country still stains our nation today," he said. "We need justice for George Floyd." "We are a country with an open wound. None of us can turn away. None of us can be silent," Biden wrote in an accompanying tweet. "None of us any longer can hear those words — 'I can't breathe' — and do nothing. We must commit, as a nation, to pursue justice with every ounce of our being."
The Biden campaign announced in a Sunday email to reporters that the candidate will meet with community leaders in Wilmington on Monday morning and will hold a virtual roundtable with mayors afterwards. Biden's response to Floyd's death and the ensuing protests has been markedly different than the president's. Over the past few days, Trump tweeted out a slew of attacks on the protesters, including one message quoting a white police officer who sparked a race riot in the 1960s.
