HuffPost
The president said "everybody must condemn" political violence.
President Joe Biden spoke Saturday hours after former President Donald Trump was wounded in a shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, saying “everybody must condemn” political violence.
“There’s no place in America for this kind of violence, it’s sick, it’s sick,” Biden said.
Biden said he’s tried to get ahold of Trump, noting the former president is receiving medical care and “apparently he’s doing well.” Biden said he hoped to speak to Trump shortly.
The president said Trump should have been able to conduct a political rally peacefully, and said the idea of political violence in America is “just unheard of” and “inappropriate.”
“We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this,” Biden said.
