President Trump threatened anti-racism protesters on Tuesday morning, in what has become a common refrain for a president who brandishes a show a force at signs of dissent. This time, sounding off on Twitter to warn that protesters who attempt to vandalize or tear down statues of historical figures – many of whom have links to white supremacy – would be subject to arrest.
So Lafayette Square is under federal jurisdiction? I thought it was now Black Lives Matter Square and the DC Mayor runs it. Would be kind of nice if the mayor asked protesters to step back while a crane rumbles in to do the job safely. Maybe I’m wrong?
“…sounding off on Twitter to warn that protesters who attempt to vandalize or tear down statues of historical figures – many of whom have links to white supremacy – would be subject to arrest.”
I’m guessing that’s not news to any of them and they’re OK with it
If only Trump had authorized testing/tracing/DPA for PPE/SD+Wearing Face Mask as quickly as he has authorized jailing protesters against Confederate statues…
And
If only Trump did NOT slow Covid-19 testing…
Then thousands of Americans could have been save from COVID-19 Infection and demise!
