WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden called Monday for action to end the type of “hate-fueled violence” that authorities said motivated a white man to three Black people at a Florida store over the weekend. Biden said people must speak out about injustice. Biden’s meeting with the King family and other civil rights advocates came two days after Saturday’s racist attack in Jacksonville, Florida. Three Black people were shot to death by a white man wearing a mask and firing a weapon emblazoned with a swastika. The shooter, who had also posted racist writings, killed himself.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who was at the meeting, said most people in the United States have more in common with each other than what divides them.
