ai generated text

Joe Biden has made several public statements urging Americans to tone down political rhetoric and avoid violence, following a tumultuous period in US politics. In his televised address, Biden emphasized that there is no place for violence in America, regardless of the circumstances, and called on citizens to "cool it down" and remember they are neighbors. He also stated that American politics must never become a literal battlefield or killing field.

1. Unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is more important than that right now.
2. We can't allow this violence to be normalized.
3. It's not American. And we cannot allow this to happen.
4. Here in America we need to get out of our silos, where we only listen to those with whom we agree, where misinformation is rampant, where foreign actors fan the flames of our division to shape the outcomes consistent with their interests, not ours.
5. American democracy – where arguments are made in good faith. American democracy – where the rule of law is respected. Where decency, dignity, fair play aren't just quaint notions, they're living, breathing realities.
6. Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed. He was a father, he was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired.
7. Politics must never be a literal battlefield or, god forbid, a literal killing field.
James David Vance
Republican Party
1. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would've been two days ago.
2. I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?
Frank Luntz
Republican Party
1. It's hard to imagine either Biden or any of the potential Democratic candidates delivering full-throated crowd-pleasing attacks on the former President now, taking away most of their ability to play the Trump card by labelling him a 'threat to democracy' when he just survived a real threat to democracy.
