As reported by Voice of America, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement condemning the shooting that took place in Buffalo yesterday. “We still need to know more about the motives behind today’s shooting, but as long as law enforcement does their job, we don’t need anything else to highlight the clear moral truth,” Biden continued, “Any act of domestic terrorism, including that committed under the disgusting banner of white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America. Hate should have no safe harbor. We must do everything we can to put an end to hate-fueled domestic terrorism.”
