She said, im praying for jacob, but im praying for the policemen as well. Biden also met with kenosha residents and Community Leaders and called for an end to violence during protests. And he criticized some of what donald trump has had to say. The words of a president matter, no matter the good, bad, or indifferent, they matter. But i made a mistake about something.
