NYC Mayor De Blasio's daughter arrested at George Floyd protest

Mayor de Blasio’s daughter was arrested Saturday night during a protest near Union Square, police sources said.

Chiara de Blasio, 25, was busted on 12th St. and Broadway, as part of a group of about 100 people who were throwing objects toward cops, sources said.

The mayor’s daughter didn’t toss anything, but refused to leave the area when cops ordered her to do so, sources said.

She gave her dad’s Gracie Mansion address to the arrest cops.

Biden visits site of George Floyd protests in Wilmington

Source: The Hill

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden paid a visit to the site of Saturday night's protests in Wilmington, Del., amid the fallout from the death of George Floyd, according to an Instagram post.

"We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us," Biden said in a Sunday statement posted to the social media site, accompanied by a photo of him in a mask speaking with a man and child across a line of police tape.

"The only way to bear this pain is to turn all that anguish to purpose," he added. "And as President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night's protests in Wilmington."
