Trump Calls Out Democrats For Allowing “Thuggery” From Violent Protesters

Recently a video of Black Lives Matter protesters has gone viral. The video shows a mob of protesters harassing an elderly white couple eating a meal outside of a restaurant in Pittsburgh.

President Trump responded to the video, blaming Democrats for allowing such disrespectful behavior from their supporters.

Several individuals in the video are seen shouting at the couple with a megaphone and others even go right up to the couple’s table to yell at them and take their beverages. The mob eventually moves on while hollering obscenities and knocking things off other tables.

Trump tweeted Tuesday morning, “These Anarchists, not protesters, are Biden voters, but he has no control and nothing to say.”

“And because of weak and pathetic Democrat leadership, this thuggery is happening in other Democrat-run cities and states. Must shut them down fast,” he added

A similar scene played out in Washington D.C. when members of Antifa confronted white diners at a restaurant for not raising a fist in solidarity.

The president also called out his opponents, former Vice President Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris, for refusing to talk openly about incidents like this.

Joe Biden hasn’t spent a lot of time making public appearances in recent months but during an interview with Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s WGAL he rejected claims that he has not made more of an effort to come out strong against violent protests by saying he has “condemned it across the board.”

Biden said he supports the protests but condemns “violence in any form.” Despite that stance, conservatives criticize him and other Democrats for refusing to acknowledge that those behind the rioting and violence are associated with the left.

The truth is that Biden won’t condemn Antifa and BLM because they are the ones powering his campaign.
