Trump Takes Aim at Protests Amid Washington March
Donald Trump took aim at people protesting racism and police brutality, saying they are “just looking for trouble” and don’t know about the killing of a Black man at the hands of police in Minneapolis that led to demonstrations nationally.
“They’re not protesters,” Trump said Friday at a rally at the airport in Manchester, New Hampshire. “Those are anarchists, they’re agitators, they’re rioters, they’re looters.”
The comments came as thousands gathered Friday at the Lincoln Memorial to demand racial equality and criminal justice reform in what they called the “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” march on the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
The event in Washington set the stage for a weekend of protests planned in Chicago and other cities. Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for vice president, addressed the crowd by video, quoting the late Congressman John Lewis: “As John put it, ‘Emmitt Till was my George Floyd. He was my Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor.’”
