There was mostly peaceful protesting and also senseless violence. Because you disagree with the BLM movement politically you're trying to discredit them by claiming the worst protests represent all the protests. Ironically, the same kind of strategy that racists use to discredit people of other races.

I've already given you tons of examples of people on the left condemning the violence, so stop pretending to be ignorant.

Most of Trumps speeches did not end in violence, the one on Jan 6th, his final speech, did. Dwai was making light of/downplaying the events of that day, so I called him out on it.

Dems didn’t condemn the summer riots until polls came out showing the American people were sick of them. Not sure if I can find it, but Cuomo and Lemon talked about the polls one night and the next day Biden and other Dems finally condemned the summer violence. Not sure what the point of saying mostly peaceful is or how that’s judged but at the Capitol there were hundreds of thousands of peaceful people.

You're wrong.

George Flloyd was killed on May 25th

Biden on May 29th:
People have a right to be, in fact, angry and frustrated. And more violence, hurting more people, isn’t going to answer the question.

May 31:
Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.
The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance.

June 2:
There is no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses.
We need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protest and opportunistic violent destruction.

1) We aren't just talking about Biden. We are talking about the media, other Democratic politicians, and the general tone of regular Dems such as yourself. Almost all of it was excuse-making, denial, and blaming of others.

2) Biden was very careful in these early statements NOT to call for the aggressive arrest and prosecution of rioters. Instead, he was gently begging everyone to stop. "There's no place for violence" doesn't equal condemnation, nor is it a call to action by law enforcement to end it. It's intentionally weak and permissive. Surely you're not so dumb to where you think the above statements were a "condemnation", right?

3) Kamala tweeted out a fund to bail out rioters who were arrested in Minnesota. That fund has since been used to bail out serial rapists and child molesters. Kamala has never apologized for directing people to donate to this fund, and has never explained why she was suggesting donations for a fund to help criminals destroying Minneapolis. Even the fund itself never promised to focus solely upon people they felt were wrongly arrested. It was to be used for anyone arrested during the protest who needed bail money, but then it extended to bail out horrendous sex offenders.
