Trump needs to condemn violence and tell his patriots to go home.

There are no rioters, only mostly peaceful protesters. Trump supporters are determined but not rioters. Watch for the media to do all they can to turn these patriots into thugs.

Made to order for the Democrats and the media.

They can use this as “proof” that every lie they told about how “dangerous and evil” Trump and his average supporters are was true.

Not to mention use this to neutralize any future criticism of Antifa, BLM, etc.

“Trump needs to condemn violence and tell his patriots to go home.”

Thank you for telling us that you’re not a patriot.

Nope. Just trying to do the right thing. I am a patriot. And I’m not getting into this discussion again. It’s boring.

NOW they send in the National Guard?! Couldn’t they at least wait until some looting and destruction of property occurs, like they have for many months when it was Big Lies Matter and Antifa doing the “mostly peaceful protesting”?
