That's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. You cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this. Everyone must condemn it."
Biden stated, “I'm grateful to hear that he's safe and doing well. I'm praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally.”
