Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will travel on Thursday to Kenosha, Wis., a city gripped by social unrest after the police shooting of Jacob Blake as violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement have emerged as a flashpoint in the 2020 election.
Mr. Biden plans to meet with the family of Mr. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, during his visit to the embattled city, as well as with community and business leaders and law-enforcement personnel. His trip comes two days after President Trump toured Kenosha amid a debate between the two candidates over racial justice andMr. Biden told reporters he hoped to promote unity while in Kenosha, adding there had been “an overwhelming request” that he travel to the city.
“We’ve got to heal. We’ve got to put things together and bring people together,” Mr. Biden said at a Wednesday press conference in Wilmington, Del. “So my purpose in going will be to do just that—be a positive influence on what’s going on, talk about what needs to be done and try to see if there’s a beginning of a mechanism to bring the folks together.”
Mr. Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, have said the officer who shot Mr. Blake should be charged.
I wonder whether he asked them why their son resisted arrest and went to his car where a knife was found on the floorboards after the cops were called due to an allegation that he digitally raped a woman with her child in the room
And it didn’t go well
Biden meets with the sex offender’s family, did he meet with the victim? How about the police that attempted to detain him?
Correction: Biden will meet with the family of the man who sexually assaulted his girlfriend and then came back to threaten her further and got shot by police because he was armed with a knife. FactsMatter
Everyone has an opinion.....
naturally old joe wants to meet with a bigot. i expect nothing more of him

Way to go!!
Slither away Joe. The law enforcement officials should refuse to meet with Biden.
After criticizing Trump sleepy Joe wakes up from his nap and decides to go what a hypocrite
Is he going to drop in on the rape victim to make sure she is doing ok? That would be a nice touch I think.
Or at least that's what he thinks the opinion polls are telling him, but if the polls change he reserves his right to change his mind several times
When is it my turn to visit Kenosha and help the community to heal?
Joe Biden forgets we live in America - where you are innocent until proven guilty!
Jacob Blake raped a 14 year old.
Who is he waving at? There are no supporters (ever) - it is only staff, Secret Service, and flight crew.
Ok women that don't like Trump. Here is BIDEN going to Kenosha to root on and praise a FELON who resisted arrest and reached into his car for a knife and was shot by an honest police officer. Biden wants the officer charged. Biden is such a wimp.
Shouldn't he wait for the investigation to conclude before requesting any charges? Is this what a Biden America would look like?
So joe was there? Or just all knowing? JoeHidin
Day late & a dollar (and some grey matter) short there JoeBiden
This ederly man is scared.
Will he meet with the woman he allegedly sexually assaulted and her family and insist on justice for her as well?
Gold glass's good liquor is the blood of a thousand people The good snacks on the jade tray are all-people's flesh. When the candlelight drip wax falls, the tears of the people fall The resentment was high where the song was high
Joe don’t do law enforcement
If it wasn’t election time, he wouldn’t be there. Pure bs
Politics
A day late, and many brain cells short. He’s only going because realDonaldTrump was there
nohope
he should also visit the 911 caller who was afraid for her life having been accosted by this guy before
Is Biden going to meet with the family of Blake’s victim too?
But Trump already chatted with the Blakes' imaginary friend. Doesn't that make this trip redundant?
