Joe Biden Meets With Blake's Family Ahead of Kenosha Visit
Source: Bloomberg
Joe Biden and his wife Jill met on Thursday with the family of a Black man shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin aiming to test the strength of his message to unite the country as president.
Four members of Jacob Blakes family and two members of the familys legal team met the Bidens privately at the Milwaukee airport. Blakes mother, Julia Jackson, and Ben Crump, his attorney, joined the conversation by phone.
The Democratic nominee is visiting Kenosha on Thursday, seeking to contrast his approach with President Donald Trump, who visited the city two days ago over the objections of Democratic leaders in the state. Trump did not meet with Blakes family and focused his visit on condemning the violence and looting that broke out amid the protests.
The Bidens met with Blakes father, Jacob Blake Sr., his sisters Letetra Widman and Zietha Blake and his brother Myron Jackson.

During his visit on Tuesday, Trump toured damaged properties and met with police leaders about ways to stop the violence.

(113 posts)Plus I think Joe should meet with the police and leaders of the protestors together. That way the RWNJ's can't accuse Joe of siding with either side. IMHO.

He's a real prize. I am sorry for his son, who clearly had no chance with a father like this.
