In a video message shared on Wednesday, the former vice president disavowed the violence while still expressing his support for peaceful protest. CNN'S DON LEMON SAYS KENOSHA VIOLENCE HURTS DEMOCRATS: 'THE RIOTING HAS TO STOP'"You know, as I said after George Floyd's murder, protesting brutality is a right and absolutely necessary," Biden said. "But burning down communities is not protest- it's needless violence, violence that endangers lives, violence that guts businesses and shutters businesses that serve the community. Despite addressing the violence directly on Wednesday, Biden may still not be out of the woods yet. On Thursday, Politico ran the headline, "‘It’s playing into Trump’s hands’: Dems fear swing-state damage from Kenosha unrest."
