Reaction was fierce to the president using the term "thugs" and saying, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."
WASHINGTON — Democrats on Friday slammed President Donald Trump for what they said was inciting violence by protesters in Minneapolis demonstrating over the death of George Floyd while in police custody.
Twitter labeled Trump’s tweet as one that violated the company’s policy because it glorified violence in the last line."That is so wrong. We need honest reckoning and reconciliation,” Clinton wrote. “If you haven't already joined the work to replace him in November, start now." Taylor Swift also weighed in on Twitter:"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump."
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., asked his Twitter followers what people will do today to win in November, saying that it’s a scary time with 100,000 dead from the coronavirus pandemic and"a president calling for the murder of political opponents and protesters." Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., tweeted:"Trump's behavior is growing increasingly unhinged, authoritarian, and outright violent and is designed to inflame and divide America further. This is absolutely disgusting and I reject his incitements with every fiber of my body."
