The president has called on Americans to 'express their views peacefully' following Rittenhouse acquittal.
users, and particularly conservatives, offered criticism of Biden for what they saw as a change in his official position, while others pointed to the 2020 tweet and called on the president to apologize to Rittenhouse.
John Cooper, acting director for media at the conservative Heritage Foundation also noted the timing of the two statements and went further, saying:"Biden is not in charge of this administration." Author Don Winslow, by contrast, suggested that Biden should have offered no comment to reporters at the time of his initial statement.
