Biden Calls Buffalo Shooting ‘Domestic Terrorism’
‘EVIL WILL NOT WIN’
President Joe Biden choked up in an emotional speech in Buffalo where he spoke about each of the 10 victims who were killed by a white supremacist Saturday. After honoring the victims, Biden then delivered some powerful words, calling the mass shooting “domestic terrorism.” “What happened here is simple and straightforward. Terrorism. Domestic terrorism. Violence inflicted in the service of hate and the vicious thirst for power that defines one group of people as inherently inferior to any other group,” Biden said, addressing a crowd at Delevan Grider Community Center in Buffalo. “Evil will not win, I promise you.” On Tuesday, he and first lady Jill Biden traveled to a memorial site for the victims of the Tops supermarket shooting, who were predominately Black. The Bidens are expected to meet with families of the victims as well as community leaders. New York officials Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand also paid a visit to the memorial site.
