Supporters of the two rivals running for president in the United States in the 2020 presidential election are trading blame after a fatal shooting in Portland, Oregon.

The Republican supporters of President Donald Trump and the Democrats supporting former Vice President Joe Biden traded barbs amid the protests against rampant racial justice and police brutality with the former portraying the current chaos as what if to come if Biden wins the November race and the latter blaming it on the administration.

The chaos and the disorder and the lawlessness that we are currently seeing, that’s Donald Trump’s America, Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) said on CBS.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, however, maintained that it was just not accurate to reframe it that way.

You know, you want to talk about Donald Trump’s America, he said in an interview on NBC. Most of Donald Trump’s America is peaceful.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who ran against Biden in the 2020 Democratic primaries, warned on ABC of insecurity under Trump.

We are not safe in Donald Trump’s America, she said.

During a clash between Trump supporters and counter-protesters in Portland, an allegedly right wing activist was shot dead Saturday.

Our great National Guard could solve these problems in less than 1 hour, Trump tweeted on Sunday. Local authorities must ask before it is too late.

America has seen a week of violence after a white police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back seven times in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

As you see that continue to unfold over the course of three months, you are going to continue to see violent activity, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on ABC, adding that the administration is happy to provide resources to bring this violence to an end, violence that, again, across the ideological spectrum, left or right, the violence needs to end.

On Tuesday, a white teenager from Illinois reportedly shot three people in Kenosha, killing two of them.
