He’s Using The American Military Against The American People – Joe Biden Calls Out Donald Trump

Democrat Presidential candidate and former Vice President, Joe Biden has reacted to the recent threat made by the U.S President Donald Trump to unleash the U.S soldiers on protesters, in his bid to stop violent protests which had erupted across most cities in the United States after the death of George Floyd during a forceful arrest.

The US President made the threat in a nationally televised address in the White House Rose Garden. Trump said;

“If a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”

Though the comment was an apparent reference to the 1807 Insurrection Act which allows presidents to quell lawlessness during emergencies, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden condemned the US President’s threat via a tweet he shared.

Biden who announced in a campaign statement that he would speak on Tuesday morning in Philadelphia “on the civil unrest facing communities across America”, accused the US President of using the American military against the American people.

He tweeted;

He’s using the American military against the American people. He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets. For a photo. For our children, for the very soul of our country, we must defeat him. But I mean it when I say this: we can only do it together.
