A number of Senate Republicans criticized the president's rhetoric on protests demanding action after George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.
Trump says violent Minneapolis protests dishonor George Floyd’s memory, Twitter labels ‘shooting’ tweet as ‘glorifying violence’
"The country is looking for healing and calm," Thune said Monday at the Capitol."And I think the president needs to project that in his tone. He masters that sometimes, and that’s the tone he needs to strike right now." Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah and a frequent critic of the president, said a tweet by the president that said"when the looting starts, the shooting starts" was"unfortunate." But he noted Trump walked back the comments after many took the tweet as a threat and others pointed out the phrase echoed a Miami police chief who, in 1967, made clear his distaste for civil rights activists.
"You have to dominate," he said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by CBS News."If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate."Calling protests 'acts of domestic terror,' Trump orders additional help for cities to clamp down on riots
