Pres. Obama has yet to call for peace, two days after ongoing violence erupted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin after a black police officer shot an armed man resisting arrest.
Obama was briefed on the situation over the weekend, according to White House Spokesperson Jen Freidman – but, Obama has not taken time from his two-week golf vacation in Martha’s Vineyard to react to the violence and call for an end to the ongoing riots, vandalism, gun fire and attacks on police.
However, the president did find time over the weekend to issue a video and statement on climate change and declare a climate disaster in Louisiana due to flooding.
Tonight, Obama will interrupt his vacation to campaign for Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has activated the National Guard in an effort to quell the violence and destruction.
