Trump: I Don’t Want My Supporters Confronting Protesters
Breitbart ^ | 9-1-2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/01/2020 2:36:03 AM PDT by blam

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump stated that he does not want his supporters to confront left-wing protesters and that such matters should be left to law enforcement. Trump also stated that his supporters are good people who “can’t believe” the violence they see in some American cities.

Host Laura Ingraham asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:00] “[D]o you want your supporters to confront the left-wing protesters, or do you want to leave it to law enforcement?”

Trump responded, “No. No, I don’t want them. I want to leave it to law enforcement. But my supporters are wonderful, hard-working, tremendous people. And they turn on their television set, and they look at a Portland, or they look at a Kenosha, before I got involved and stopped it, or they look at Chicago, where 78 people were shot last weekend and numerous people died, or they look at New York, where violence is up by like, what? 150%. … They’re looking at all of this, and they can’t believe it.”

We’ve got to keep our powder dry until the election. That ain’t going to be easy though. It’s best that the commies keep Burning Looting and Murdering until Nov 3. Keep it fresh in peoples little pea brains.

Just watch....since the riots, arson, looting and violence are hurting Democrats in the polls, it will end within a week because the Democrats are orchestrating all of it.

Ideologically, morally and legally, I will not instigate.
I will, however, defend.
Viciously and violently.

And when they beat us to bloody pulp Mr. President, we'll try our best not to "confront" them.

So we'll all go put our "Patriotic" muzzle masks on now.

Thanks for the support!

Thank you, President Trump. We agree. No point in confronting insane leftist animals.

PDJT is saying what Carlos Osweda’s Twitter feed says...read it...there is a plan...those funding the riots will be dealt with...but we needn’t be hurt doing it. Stay out of the way.

But if you do, you’ll be attacked by democraps and media as if you DID initiate the attack.

The Democrat message is from the Palestinian play book — anyone confront the rioters and the media will blame Trump for the violence the Democrats started.

Just let them riot.

Multiple video cameras on vehicle and on person helps.
And, of course, self defense insurance.

They were once known as “Protesters, Rioters, Anarchists, Agitators, Arsonists and Looters”.......now they’re
all known simply as “Democrats.

President Trump, if you or governors or mayors or police
chiefs or... don’t do anything, you’re damn well going to
see more of your supporters taking the action the whole lot
of you are shirking.

WTF bud.

This is getting worse by the day, and at some point it’s
going to infect too much of the nation.

There are a whole lot of people buying into the BLM
support system out here. Middle-class folks are confused.

Who could blame them when everyone from sports figures to
franchise owners, to stars, to mayors, to governors, and a whole
pastle of folks on capital Hill are singing the praises of
BLM.

And folks who should be taking action, aren’t even talking
about it. Who is voicing damning direct comments about
the violence, the traitors, the terrorists, the insurrectionists?

I know people who have to remain silent at work while the
talk is 100% for BLM and what is going on.

One person I know deals with a hospital data entry system
where the BLM and ANTIFA logos show up on screens they
have to work with.

Local news media is just churning out Leftist drivel by
the oil container ship full.

Our next door neighbor app is filled with social justice
warriors for BLM.

Are you guys aware of that?

What the hell are you folks thinking?

Either stand up to them and lets put this down, or just
turn over the keys and get it over with.

This isn’t one of those deals like a Capital Hill
investigation that goes nowhere as the public becomes
pacified and loses interest.

We’re losing major cities and major corporations.

I still think you are going to win re-election big, but
when you do, there will be big chunks of our nation so
hollowed out by all this, they’ll be no-go zones.

Frankly, this is one citizen who is fed up to here, with
all this.

Too much dying. Too much destruction. Too much
pussy-footing around.

He doesn’t want, nor does any rational person, an all out civil war. Yeah we’d win. And at what cost. It is what the left wants

Get him re-elected. Then let lose the power of the fed govt on those cities
