I shall rephrase. Biden has condemned property damage and violence in a general sense, but he has then blamed it upon various "right wing" groups who had nothing to do with it. He doesn't say anything about the actual culprits, Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Condemning a series of criminal acts then blaming a party who were not involved in the acts whilst ignoring those who performed the criminal acts (because they are your supporters), is not really condemning the criminal actions. Rather it's absolving your allies from blame whilst trying to frame someone else.
The Wall Street Journal yesterday posted an op-ed about Biden and street violence:
"Could Mr. Biden possibly be unaware of the street violence in U.S. cities inflicted for months by leftist radicals? Antifa is not the only really bad idea. Similar groups go by different names and Mr. Biden didn’t choose to condemn any of them."https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-didnt-biden-condemn-antifa-and-bernie-sanders-11601586778What we're seeing in some American cities (all controlled by Democrats for decades) is politicians using paramilitary groups to shape the political narrative through intimidation, violence and property damage. This has been going on for years in Chicago, where politicians are allied with criminal gangs, but it has spread to many other cities in 2020.
Countries where politicians are entwined with paramilitary groups make investors more nervous than those without paramilitaries.
