“We send our love and our support to their families, and we pray to God for their recovery,” the President said.

Trump cast blame on 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for not speaking out against the left’s campaign against law enforcement, recalling that the former vice president failed to condemn violence against police, including a Las Vegas officer who was shot in June and left paralyzed.

“For the entire summer Joe Biden was silent as left-wing mobs assaulted police officers,” Trump said.

“When Biden’s far-left supporters set fire to police cars and precinct stations, courthouses, Joe Biden called them, ‘peaceful protesters,” Trump added.

Trump also mocked Biden for saying little to nothing about the left-wing violence and riots during the Democratic National Convention, and only condemning them afterwards, when Biden’s polls decreased.

“In the Republican Party, we know that police officers are not villains but heroes that risk their lives to keep us safe,” the President said.

“Joe Biden opposes the death penalty even for these cop killers, predators that murder children. He opposes the death penalty for the Boston bomber,” Trump said.
