On Wednesday, Biden began a night of contradictions as he began by blaming guns for the rise in violent crime across the country.<\/p>\n<p>He focused on his reputation as a pro-gun control senator during his time in Congress, saying he\u2019s looking to get rid of a range of guns. However, he quickly shifted the blame.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Biden speaks to a half empty room during a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNN<\/a> town hall tonight with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/donlemon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@donlemon<\/a>.

At one point, he was asked whether children under the age of 12 should be vaccinated despite their risk of developing COVID-19 being less than 1.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The question was posed amid heightened concerns over possible negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, which hasn\u2019t yet been fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration. He also downplayed concerns over growing inflation in the U.S. yet again, saying it won\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 NEW POLL shows that:<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f 60% of voters disapprove of Biden&#8217;s handling of rising prices<br \/>\u2714\ufe0f 7 out of 10 voters express concern about rising prices<br \/>\u2714\ufe0f Voters are 4X more likely to blame the president &amp; Democrats for rising prices<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bidenflation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bidenflation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1jEBGlgfKO\">https:\/\/t.co\/1jEBGlgfKO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NRCC (@NRCC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRCC\/status\/1418284714041954306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Biden, a majority of experts suggest it\u2019s highly unlikely inflation will be a long-term problem or that it will even get out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>However, a new poll from the National Republican Congressional Committee showed 70 percent of voters are extremely or very concerned about the rising cost of living. Additionally, another 60 percent also disapproved of Biden\u2019s handling of rising prices.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/14-year-old-killed-several-others-injured-in-2-overnight-shootings-in-chicago\/\">14-Year-Old Killed, Several Others Injured In 2 Overnight Shootings In Chicago<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden participates in a CNN Town Hall hosted by Don Lemon at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 21, 2021.
