A spokesman for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign on Aug. 30 accused media outlets of refusing to acknowledge “the violence in our streets” that has rocked the nation for months, until it was addressed by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in a statement on his campaign website.
Hogan Gidley said during an appearance on Fox News’s “MediaBuzz” that U.S. media has largely ignored “the death, the destruction, the looting, the rioting” for 90 days, making reference to the unrest seen in Portland, Oregon, following the police-custody death of George Floyd in May that sparked riots, arson incidents, vandalism, and anti-police sentiment.
