While speaking at Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina, President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump’s comments about the shooting at Perry High School in Iowa.
“We’re really with you as much as anybody can be. It’s a very terrible thing that happened,” Trump said Friday during a speech in the Hawkeye State. “And it’s just horrible to see that happening, it’s just horrible. So surprising to see it here. But, uh, have to get over it. We have to move forward, we have to move forward.”
Biden’s response:
“Just a few days ago, the defeated former president was asked about the recent shooting in Iowa. Do you hear this one? It's hard to believe. You know what his response was? All those kids dead. We ‘have to get over it.’ I promise you. We ‘have to get over it.’ My response is, we have to stop it so your children, your family, your friends can leave your home, walk the streets, go to stores, go to the grocery store, and go to church to be safe from gun violence. There's no excuse for this carnage!”
