Biden, Harris ‘never encouraged violence’ against Trump — White House
The White House rejects accusations by Donald Trump that rhetoric used by US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is to blame for him being targeted in a second apparent assassination attempt.
“The president and the vice president have always forcefully condemned violence in all forms,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tells a briefing when asked about Trump’s comments.
“We certainly have never encouraged violence in any way.”
