Trump vows to stop 'mob violence' amid riots over George Floyd death
Fox News ^ | 5-30-20 | By Brooke Singman

President Trump on Saturday vowed to stop “mob violence,” as he condemned riots that have broken out amid what originally were protests across the country in response to Minneapolis man George Floyd’s death in police custody earlier this week.

The president called Floyd’s death a “tragedy” and said “it should never have happened.”

DUELING CLAIMS: TRUMP BLAMES ANTIFA FOR RIOTS, MINNESOTA OFFICIALS POINT FINGERS AT WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND CARTELS

“It filled America all over the country with horror, anger and grief,” Trump said Saturday, noting that he spoke to Floyd’s family and “expressed the sorrow of our entire nation for their loss.”

“I stand before you as a friend and ally of every American seeking justice and peace,” the president said, before adding he also stands in opposition to looters.

The president went on to say that he understands the “pain” that people feel, and said his administration “supports the right of peaceful protesters and we hear their pleas,” but said much of “what we are seeing on the streets of our cities has nothing to do with justice or peace.”

“The memory of Floyd is being dishonored by rioters, looters, and anarchists,” Trump said, blaming "Antifa and other radical left-wing groups for terrorizing the innocent, destroying jobs, hurting businesses and burning down buildings."

PROTESTS DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD RAMP UP AGAIN NATIONWIDE

It is unclear which groups may be participating in the riots across the country. The president has maintained that Antifa and other left-wing groups are to blame, while Minnesota officials claimed that white supremacists and other elements were involved in stoking violence.

It would be bad for Trump to take on responsibility for the actions of Police in ‘Rat Cities.

The Mayors and Governators need to own it.

Stand down, President Trump. This is a state issue. Those folks have the local police, sheriffs, the state police, and the National Guard. Condemn the violence. But let the states handle the mess that they themselves created.

Manysoda officials push conspiracy theory about collusion between neonazis and Mexican narcoterrorists?

Indeed. This guy has been posting such articles and making comments like this every chance he gets.

Methinks we have a Never Trumper with an entirely misleading Freeper monicker among us.

President Trump MUST officially declare Antifa a "domestic terrorist group" b/c in one masterstroke:
<><> leftists and Democrats will be cornered;
<><> they will be forced to explain why they are defending them;
<><> they'll back into a lame excuse as to why looting and burning isnt terrorism;
<><> Dems will resort to painting the protesters as white supremacists, right wingers, and Trump supporters;
<><> but they will not be able to produce them b/c they simply do not exist;
<><> the fun begins when lefties and Dems start blaming the black populations in these cities.

I agree. The idiots are already blaming Trump for this mess. I’m so tired of all this hyper focus on race. Maybe it’s time to move to Iceland or Costa Rica. I hear Costa Rica is nice. :-)

FFCA, how can someone who has been here for 15+ years - and who has just linked to relatively conservative site (Fox) - be considered a troll?

A newbie who has just linked to some lefty site, I can understand. But accusing NLZ, I just don’t get it.

And why should I care? The same accusation has been hurled at me. If you want to disagree with me, fine. State your objections. And maybe I’ll learn something. But insults, nope, they don’t further the conversation.

They’re rioting in DC, too, so... Kinda his business, too. They tried to storm the white house earlier today, if what I watched did indeed happen today.

Oh, yes. When it comes to Federal property, I certainly agree with that.

Now Trump himself has said that he vows to stop this rioting.

Why would he wait one second more to stop it? He has given the state officials a chance and they are doing nothing. Every minute that Trump waits is costing him votes. I myself will certainly be voting for him, but in my opinion he is not showing leadership here.

Your Yankee dollars will certainly go far in places like Costa Rica. But as for me, I’m looking for something rural in a conservative state. It has to be close to a good hospital (I’m getting old). But I lso want to see see cows graze from my back porch.

Exactly. It isn’t a federal matter...BUT, the federal officer in Oakland was killed. No further news about that today that I’ve heard.

“NoLibZone” reminds me of the criticism of President Trump on COVID:
* He was too slow acting
* He was too fast acting
* He shouldn’t have shut down travel from China
* He should have shut down travel from China way sooner
* Trump was too slow getting ventilators, testing, PPE, etc, etc in the hands of hospitals and first responders. He was too slow building emergency hospitals.
* Trump wasted money on ventilators, PPE, emergency hospitals, etc (most of the ventilators were not needed. Hospital ships had hardly any patients. Emergency hospitals that were erected are torn down without ever admitting a patient.)

With the riot and crime instigators bringing in people from other states, it becomes a federal matter. Which opened up the door for FBI and other agencies to get involved.

At least this gets the “Trump’s pandemic/depression” BS narrative pretty much over with. These are the traditional presidential election year summer race riots. This will end up getting innocent cops killed but will be no more successful than Barry’s 2016 Black Lies Matter campaign.
