For what it's worth, MSN's reprint of Reuters' report had this passage

Rather than verbally attacking Trump in the coming days, the White House and the Biden campaign will draw on the president's history of condemning all sorts of political violence including his sharp criticism of the "disorder" created by campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict, campaign officials said on condition of anonymity.

But in Reuters version of it (which has been updated more recently) that passage is gone - https://archive.is/cpvVW

I'd bet some old dipshit who's been doing campaign work for the Democratic party long enough to have a soundbite about school bussing integration programs said this idiotic crap, then someone on Biden's campaign under the age of fifty read it and told the old dipshit what an incredibly stupid self-own that was, and forced the old dipshit to call up Reuters and ask them to pull that quote.

It would be a lot better if we didn't have to go through these episodes of old dipshits saying fucking stupid and offensive shit about their own base, but I think there are at least people on the Biden campaign who realize how completely fucking stupid this talking point would be.
