In the recently concluded RNC - the refrain was that Biden's America would result in a break down of Law and Order. The lack of stance (beyond condemning the "needless violence") on the recent unrests in Kenosha, Wisconsin has seemingly left the Biden Campaign flat footed. The public needs to see an appropriate response from the Biden Campaign NOW. Voters (especially in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan) need assurances.
Several actions come to mind.
1. Visit with the family of the victims (yes, black and white) in Kenosha. There has to be a categorical statement made that doesn’t leave any doubt as to which side of Law and Order this campaign stands on.
2. Send as many campaign staff as possible into Kenosha (amongst other cities including Seattle and Portland where violence still rages from riots). Help (physically) clean up the damage. Call for volunteers in these cities to help in the clean up effort.
3. Stand with the store fronts that are being looted. State firmly to rioters that destruction of property is not the right way.
4. Praise the NBA and WNBA players for their protests. Trump came out decrying their protest. This is perfect. Praise these players. Echo President Obama's sentiment that they should form a social justice committee to ensure that the players' and league's actions this week lead to sustained, meaningful engagement on criminal justice and social reform.
5. Send out a strong message that shows that Trump's America is a dangerous and violent America - which promotes extremism and tolerates bigotry. Show that with Trump violence increases. Blast Ads showing this message - to counter the lies that are being propagated right now by the RNC.
This is my plea to the Biden-Harris campaign. I feel there is a grave danger if these riots are not addressed immediately.
