Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign on Tuesday released a new ad that condemns rioting and violence as President Trump’s campaign continues to frame a Biden presidency as one that would lead to more turbulence and unrest. The Biden campaign ad, entitled “Be Not Afraid,” focuses on a portion of Biden’s Monday speech from a steel mill in Pittsburgh, in which he spoke out against the violence involved in demonstrations around the country and blamed Trump for inciting it. Riots have continued in Portland, Ore., and Kenosha, Wis., over the police treatment of the Black community. Trump and his allies have ramped up accusations that Democrats and the media paint the protests as “mostly peaceful” despite instances of repeated violence. “I want to make it absolutely clear rioting is not protesting, looting is not protesting,” the former vice president said in the ad’s opening.
