Biden tweet just now about today's synagogue shooting

Link to tweet

Jill and I are devastated to hear about today’s shooting at the Chabad Poway synagogue. No one should have to worship in fear.

As a country, we must speak out against bigotry and gun violence. We’re in the battle for the soul of this nation—and it’s on all of us to act.

Get on tv for stuff like this, make it infrequently, and do your job as president. That's what I like in my president. Americans don't want or need this much involvement in everyday politics. Imagine seeing Pres Obama as much as this horsesass. (trump), not joe.
I wish joe wouldn't start doing this.

from 45. So please lend an ear when he speaks, or watch your monitor screens. And when he says that there are good people on both sides you can rest assured that he has one foot on the Right Wing side and one foot on the KKK/Nazi/White Supremacist side. Only he has not taken into account that us Democrats are right in the middle going to give it to him right up the ass on Election Day.

Not to mention the anti-Muslim hatred, the hate aimed at Latinos, immigrants, African Americans, LGBTQ people and everyone else. It has to stop.

It is tearing us apart.

As Biden says, no one should have to fear while they worship. That's just wrong. It sickens me as it should sicken ALL compassionate and empathetic people.

It was wrong in ancient Rome, in the Middle Ages, and in the days of the old pogroms. It was wrong in the days of the Nazis, and it is wrong now.
