Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. This is what you need to know when starting your day …
Biden ignores $ 1 billion in riots and praises George Floyd protesters following Chauvin’s conviction
President Biden did not acknowledge the riots, looting, arson and aggravation that allegedly caused more than $ 1 billion in property damage last year, when he praised George Floyd protesters on Tuesday after Derek Chauvin’s conviction on murder charges.
The president said the protesters showed “in peace and with intent,” a description that applied to most marches in support of justice for Floyd. But Biden made no mention of the riots that also took place, although authorities from across the country have been warning for months that bad actors are exploiting legal protests to loot and damage property, commit arson and – in some cases – murder.
Despite estimates that only a small percentage of protests led to riots, insurance companies reported more than $ 1 billion in property damage. The overtime for first responders and the total cost surpass the infamous Rodney King riots in 1992 in Los Angeles as the most expensive in American history.

Laura Ingraham mocked the Democrats on Tuesday night, accusing them of making a false statement that America is a racist country.
“A few hours after the Derek Chauvin ruling, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to the country – and lied about the country,” the host of Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle said. .
“This is the big lie – systemic racism,” she continued. “Did Joe Biden always believe that the nation at its core was racist? Did he believe it when he and Barack Obama were elected not once, but twice? Does Joe Biden really believe that he is presiding in a country where law enforcement is essentially a racist murder is? machine?
