Washington (CNN) Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told CNN on Thursday that President Donald Trump and his allies are "rooting for violence" in American streets because it allows them to drive fear for political gain. Biden's comments come as Trump champions a "law and order" reelection message, seizing on some incidences of violence that have happened on American streets. A White 17-year old who supported Trump was arrested in response to another shooting during the protests this week. "These guys are rooting for violence," Biden said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. Biden cited a quote from top White House aide Kellyanne Conway to make his point.
