President Biden called on Americans to protest “peacefully” and follow the law following the jury’s verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which he said left him “angry and concerned.”
“I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law,” Biden said in a statement ahead of expected protests. “Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy.”
Biden also stated that the White House, along with federal authorities, has been in touch with Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’s office to “prepare for any outcome in this case.”
“I have spoken with the Governor this afternoon and offered support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety,” Biden stated.
“While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” Biden said. “I ran on a promise to bring Americans together, because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.”
