New York Times, White Supremacy Is ‘Poison,’ Biden Says in Emotional Speech in Buffalo, Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Peter Baker, May 18, 2022 (print ed.). In his visit to a largely Black community where a mass shooting left 10 dead, President Biden criticized those who use hate speech for political gain.

In Pennsylvania, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Trump-endorsed candidate who led an effort to overturn the election in his state and attended the Stop ...
