00:00Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?
00:07It's you who have created the hate in the division.
00:12It's you who have not found a way to say the names of black people killed by police officers,
00:19even as people in law enforcement have.
00:22And it's you who claimed that white supremacists are good people.
00:27Your campaign of fear is as anti-democratic as anything you've done to create hate and vitriol in our beautiful country.
00:37For those of you saying on Twitter this morning that you plan to come to Portland to seek retribution,
00:45I'm calling on you to stay away.
00:47You, of course, have a constitutional right to be here,
00:51but we're asking you to stay away and work with us to help us de-escalate this situation.
01:21We're here for you.
01:26We're here for you.
01:31We're here for you.
01:52I stand here with the police chief and the district attorney to again denounce the violence.
02:01The tragedy of last night cannot be repeated.
02:05All of us must take a stance against violence.
02:09And it doesn't matter who you are or what your politics are.
02:14We have to all stop the violence.
02:51We have to all stop the violence.
