      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 …

      100% agree with @jbouie: One reason Trump is losing is that he can't disassociate himself from right-wing extremists, while Biden has successfully disassociated himself from left-wing extremists https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/01/opinion/trump-kenosha-portland-sister-souljah.html …

      2. At least @AaronBlake admitted this in his column - Biden won't point fingers at his own side, just "very bad people on both sides are bad." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/08/31/trump-allies-keep-accusing-biden-not-condemning-violence-shortly-after-biden-condemns-violence/ …pic.twitter.com/ImFI06K28O

      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.

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Dean Clark

      "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 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Dean Clark @earldean71
      Yeah, but Biden has to do less because he has never been associated with that element of the left. Trump OTOH has always had an association with elements of the alt-right. Sometimes it has been overblown by the media, but nevertheless it is there. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1300805407141703683 …

          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.

          Do you think they should be held to the same standard? It’s extremely plausible that Trump doesn’t say bad things about white nationalist extremists because he actually likes them and agrees with them. Maybe I’m naive and biased, but the converse doesn’t seem likely with Biden.

          So in your world we should judge every statement my every person completely out of context of their other statements? We literally never do that.

          That doesn't even seem true, trump unilaterally denounces all nazis in his Charlottesville speech, Biden did not do this for antifa

          HAHAHAHHA. Antifascism isn't bad. Trump didn't unilaterally denounce all nazis and has several on his staff dictating policy.

          I was making more of a practical political argument less than a moral one. I agree Biden needs to do more.

          just about everyone killing people for political reasons and trying to kill people for political reasons is a nut job conservative, and yet they are, to you, the same as people causing property damage.

          It’s a crude joke to equate this. One group of people has Jesse Kelly calling for pelts and Kurt schlicter writing porn about killing the libs and the other side has some property damage and then an army of people condemning that.
