1. The problem with this whole framing is that Biden *didn't* call out extremists on his own side, just bothsides violent extremism in general - exactly as Trump tried to do after Charlottesville, except that unlike Biden, Trump then had to answer hostile press questioning.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1300753581595930625 …

3. The reason why the Sister Souljah thing was effective politics by Bill Clinton is that he called out somebody by name & didn't bury it in vague platitudes about how both sides do bad things. Biden's giving cover to those on his side who are pretending this is all false flags.

4. Which is a cynical form of political game that may well work, but there is nothing admirable about it. And if it does work, it will be because the media won't try to pin him down on it.

"Trump should be held to a different standard because of his different history" is a fairer argument, but it requires you to admit openly that you're holding the two to different standards.https://twitter.com/earldean71/status/1300808903744196614 …

6. In terms of denouncing specific people & groups on the left side for riots, looting, arson, & assaults in the streets, a lot of progressive & liberal pundits are trying to give Biden credit not only for things *he* hasn't said, but things *they* won't say, either.

Biden did not say a word about who was doing any of those things. https://twitter.com/Hesiod2k11/status/1300859252458819589 …

It’s not Biden’s side. Liberals are a much more diverse group of people than conservatives — ideologically and racially. I’ve yet to see a rioter wearing Biden colors.

This isn't a Biden thing. I didn't see car loads of people rolling into cities with Biden signs.I didn't see anyone wearing a Biden/Harris T-shirt at a protest or march. I haven't seen one protester doing anything in Biden's name. That's the difference Dan... And you know this.
