Biden visits site of George Floyd protests in Wilmington

Source: The Hill

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden paid a visit to the site of Saturday night's protests in Wilmington, Del., amid the fallout from the death of George Floyd, according to an Instagram post.

"We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us," Biden said in a Sunday statement posted to the social media site, accompanied by a photo of him in a mask speaking with a man and child across a line of police tape.

"The only way to bear this pain is to turn all that anguish to purpose," he added. "And as President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night's protests in Wilmington."

He doesn't cower in a bunker shrieking "Nein! Nein! Nein!" or tweeting "Fake News! Strength! Covfefe!"
