So, can we blame Joe Biden for this attack or nah?
In Trump's America heartbreaking violence is rampant because this president doesn't care about solving the crisis, doesn't understand how to bring calm out of chaos & actually is fomenting the divisions & violence. If you don’t like the violence in Trump's America vote #Biden2020

Boxer, not understanding exactly how crime works, reportedly asked her assailant, “how can you do this to a grandma?”
