DISINFO: Biden’s militants set America on fire

SUMMARY

Biden’s campaign headquarters and the Democratic Party understood the expression “go on the attack” literally. They unleashed riots and pseudo-racial war in more than 70 cities in the US. Only a third of the protesters are African-Americans, the remaining demonstrators – young white Americans.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US racial justice protests. There is no evidence that the Democratic Party is interested in “chaos” in the USA. On the contrary, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2020 Presidential Election Joe Biden, condemned violence at the protests. “Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not”, Biden said. The Governor of Minnesota from the Democratic Party Tim Walz also condemns any violence at protests. The protests in the US have erupted over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
