DC mayor: Trump treated military 'like toy soldiers' to intimidate Americans
-
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) accused President Trump on Monday of using the U.S. military as "toy soldiers" to "intimidate Americans" in her city.
Bowser has repeatedly hit Trump for his decision to use force to remove protesters from the streets around St. John's Episcopal Church on June 1. She has since had public works personnel paint in giant letters "Black Lives Matter" on 16th Street NW near the White House.
Bowser has also criticized the Trump administration and the federal government for sending military vehicles into the city to control demonstrations.
"We saw the American military moved around like toy soldiers around the country to intimidate Americans in Washington, D.C.," she told The Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart during a discussion Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
