JOE BIDEN/PROTESTS: “I’ve said from the outset of the recent protests that there is no place for violence or the destruction of property.
Peaceful protesters should be protected — but arsonists and anarchists should be prosecuted — and local law enforcement can do that.
When President Obama and I were in office we protected federal property.
And we were able to do it without turning DHS into a private militia.”
