-We have to make a clear
distinction
between protesting
and violence.
To be clear, as Vice
President Biden has said,
though,
burning communities,
looting communities
is not protesting.
That's violence.
And we condemn
that in all forms.
But protesting peacefully
is necessary.
It's American.
And folks should be
raising their voices.
-Is your party striking
the right balance right now
in responding to the unrest
and calls for racial justice?
-Our job is to make sure
that peaceful protestors
are able to exercise
their right,
guaranteed under
the First Amendment.
But we also have to make sure
that those who break the law,
those who exercise violence,
regardless of what side of the
political aisle that they're on,
must be held accountable.
And in this country, Martha,
we can do both.
-If we want to create
safe communities,
one of the smartest ways
we can do
that is invest in the health
of those communities,
because healthy communities
are safe communities.
-Would your hand still shoot up
if somebody asked
if you would want more
police officers on your streets?
-What I would say now
is what I would say then,
which is I want to make sure
that if a woman is raped,
a child is molested,
or one human being murders
another human being that there
will be a police officer
that responds to that case
and that there will be
accountability and consequence
for the offender.
-He has yet to condemn Antifa,
a group that is behind a lot
of the violence, specifically.
Why?
-Bret, the vice president
has been very clear.
He condemns
all forms of violence.
-While America was going through
civil unrest in all 50 states --
quite frankly,
America was on fire --
we had a president,
a commander in chief,
who was walking around
with a gasoline can,
not trying to sow peace and calm
but actually throwing fire
onto an already
volatile situation.
