Blaming Trump for the riots is a Democratic disaster

After months of trying to spin the nationwide unrest as 'mostly peaceful' or ignoring it entirely, Democrats have discovered some fresh messaging: the riots are violent and they're Trump's fault.

To hear Democrats recap the riots they were peaceful until white supremacist Trump supporters got involved.

Biden denounced looting and rioting during a speech on June 2, but simultaneously blamed Trump and the police for escalating tensions.

Trump repeatedly offered federal assistance to governors and mayors as their cities were burned and looted.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who was used as proof that Trump was aiding and abetting violent right-wingers, claims he was protecting a local business when he was chased and attacked by rioters who tried to take his weapon.

These are all states where high turnout in rural and suburban areas - whose residents likely fear riots coming to their streets - could hand the election to Trump.

Cue Biden asking people if they feel safer under Trump and portending ominously, 'Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?' Does that count as escalation? Because it sure sounds like a threat.
