Biden Pleads: ‘Don’t Turn Politics into a Killing Field’
President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Sunday night after the failed assassination attempt on his opponent, Donald Trump, and called for the nation to turn down the political temperature.
Biden emphasized the need to unite the country after gunman Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, grazing the former president’s ear and killing one of his supporters.
The president listed a catalog of political violence in a close to six-minute address delivered from behind the Resolute Desk, saying, “It’s time to cool it down.”
