The governor said that leaders 'should be a source of peace, stability' in a press conference addressing the recent protests and unrest surrounding the death of George Floyd.
Twitter placed an advisory on the president's tweet, stating that it"violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence," though the tweet is still accessible, but cannot receive likes or retweets.
The president clarified what he meant by"when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in later tweets, saying that he was stating a"fact" rather than making a statement on a course of action:"Looting leads to shooting, and that's why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don't want this to happen, and that's what the expression put out last night means.
....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. Itâs very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!"It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It's very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!" the president stated.
