President Donald Trump on Monday evening criticized former Vice President Joe Biden for failing to condemn far-left agitators and Antifa extremists during a speech in which the Democratic presidential nominee condemned violent protests.

“The violent rioters share Biden’s same talking points, and they share his same agenda for our nation. And even his strange speech today that he made in Pittsburgh, he didn’t mention the fact, and he didn’t mention the far left. He didn’t mention the far left, or, from what I saw, I don’t believe he mentioned the word ‘Antifa.’ Antifa is a criminal organization, and he didn’t mention Antifa thugs, but mostly seemed to blame the police and law enforcement,” the president told reporters during a press conference at the White House.
