A 2020 social media post by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden blaming then-President Trump for violence in the United States is drawing renewed criticism after violence has erupted on college campuses nationwide stemming from anti-Israel protests.
In August 2020, Biden posted on Twitter, now known as X, stating, 'Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency.'
Social media users have revisited this post in light of recent violence and arrests at over a dozen college campuses due to anti-Israel activism.
Conservative political commentator Stephen Miller highlighted the current situation, questioning if the nation's soul is truly healed under Biden's presidency.
Concerns have been raised about Biden's response to the antisemitic uprisings on campuses, with critics accusing him of turning a blind eye and lacking leadership in addressing the issue.
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer suggested that Biden should take action and show more proactive leadership in handling the escalating violence.
Republican strategist David Avella pointed to polling data indicating that a majority of Americans feel less safe after three years of Biden's presidency, with concerns about rising crime rates.
Conservatives on social media have resurfaced Biden's past posts, including one questioning the potential for increased violence in America if Trump were reelected.
The White House responded by emphasizing the importance of peaceful and lawful protests, condemning the forcible takeover of buildings and the use of hate speech and symbols.
As the debate continues, the Biden administration faces mounting criticism over its handling of campus violence and the broader issue of public safety.
