. In a four-tweet thread, Trump warned that the protesters who had gathered outside the White House Friday night would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen, if they had managed to breach the White House fence. Trump also praised the Secret Service officers that confronted the protesters who gathered at Lafayette Park Friday night as the White House was placed under lockdown.

(31,261 posts)the entire Republican Party is sending. They can use force on unarmed protestors and put a line of force (SS Agents, police, FBI) in front of those non violent protesters to "contain" them. But in their minds, it is ok for heavily armed White men to enter government chambers to implicitly threaten violence against some elected officials, all while unchallenged by law enforcement of any type. You see in stark relief why our society is so divided, it all falls at the feet of republicans.

Ultimately the details will come out in some tell all book years from now.
