Biden then indirectly referenced a tweet from Trump that condemned the riots in Minneapolis, which prompted Twitter to hide the content due to breaking its rules about "glorifying violence": "When the looting starts, the shooting starts," Trump said.
"I will not lift the Presidents tweet. I will not give him that amplification. But he is calling for violence against American citizens during a moment of pain for so many. Im furious, and you should be too," Biden tweeted.

SLo Joe cannot afford to restrict the flow of oxygen to his dying brain.
I thought Trump was doing a service warning looters that they may be shot by store owners.
Why is it that Dems always have to lie and distort?
The boy who cried wolf.
If you watch his eyes you will notice that he is looking straight ahead into the teleprompter.
Has there ever been a big riot in Minnesota?
“I’m furious”
Are you sure, Joe?
Hahaha. “I will not lift the Presidents tweet. I will not give him that amplification.”
Yeah. Joe Biden really talks like that.
I’m guessing that was written by one of the myriad number of “Karens” on Joe’s incredibly tone-deaf media staff.
“Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Let me ask this question: Who was he saying is doing the shooting?
He’s so furious I’m surprised he didn’t call Trump a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” then give his best Howard Dean Scream imitation.
Scrolling through the responses I see nothing that addresses President Trump’s message and I support. Looters wil be shot. March and protest till the heart is content, but destruction of property must be dealt with severely. Our society has changed radically from my days, and I see not many today supporting lethal force to stop looting and destruction of private property. Trump is morally correct in issuing lethal force to stop looting and destruction of personal property....it is his job....if it is not done by our government, citizens at risk will do it with disastrous results ( left wing will have a field day to support their anti gun agenda).
When they start breaking into stores and setting fires it is just a matter of time before they start killing and that is what happened.
That has been said before, in certain cities, at certain times.
Interestingly, in the clips I saw of Minneapolis on TV, there were a lot of masked white boys hanging out enjoying the scene.

Let me allow President Trump himself to answer:
Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump Looting leads to shooting, and thats why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I dont want this to happen, and thats what the expression put out last night means.... ....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. Its very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd! 2:20 PM · May 29, 2020
The fidiot is a puppet.
You are correct on all points. By no means are a limited subset of people of color the only bad actors in this.
“thats why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot”
So who was doing the shooting here? Was the looter shot or did the looter shoot someone? Was the shooting white on black violence or black on black violence in the Louisville attack?
The pawn shop owner shot the looter in Minneapolis. Sounds reasonable to me.
Yeah. Some folks find out what the 2nd amendment is about the hard way.
"Barry R McCaffrey @mccaffreyr3 · 7h Trump. When the looting starts, the shooting starts. He is disgraceful. A vigilante. A shameful person."
