Democrats have accused President Trump of trying to inflame racial tensions to benefit his campaign as he praised supporters who clashed with protesters in Portland, Oregon, where one man died overnight.
in Portland when a large caravan of Trump’s supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the city’s streets. Trump praised the caravan participants as “GREAT PATRIOTS!” and blamed the city’s Democratic mayor for the death.Trump has throughout the summer cast American cities as under siege by violence and lawlessness, despite the fact that most of the protests demonstrating against racial injustice have been largely peaceful.
“Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?” asked Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. “It’s you who have created the hate and the division.” “I think his visit has one purpose, and one purpose only. And that is to agitate things and to make things worse,” Bass said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It is clear his campaign is all about law and order. It is a throwback to the past. And he’s going to do everything to disrupt law and order in this time period.”
Asked if Trump planned to meet with Blake’s family, Judd said the president’s schedule had yet to be finalized, but Blake’s attorney, Benjamin Crump, told CBS News the family “has not been contacted” by Trump “at this time.” Trump offered a similar response Saturday when asked about Kyle Rittenhouse, the white 17-year-old who has been charged with fatally shooting two protesters and wounding a third Tuesday after he traveled to Kenosha, apparently to defend the city from protesters. Attorneys representing Rittenhouse, who was seen walking with an AR-15, have said he acted in self-defense.
