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.”

Problem is, Trump supporters will sometimes gather all on their own, away from any “protest.” Even if it’s just to enjoy fellowship in a public space and announce their presence that the like-minded aren’t alone. Then the Antifa/BLM goons show up to start trouble.

Maybe we need that kind of enema. The Founding Father said it would be needed at times. Perhaps that time has arrived.

Agreed. Carlos has clearly defined the reality of the situation.

Antifa Death Squads are out there now. It's a very real thing.

Our time will come.

No the founding fathers did not say that civil war was needed from time to time

Whitaker Chambers tried to warn us. We didn’t pay attention. The communists never stop. We need to be smart about how to fight them. If we do it wrong they will win. Then all is lost

Donald J Trump isn’t the boss of me. He has a job— protecting my country and my rights. He should stick to his knitting, and stop telling us not to defend our communities.

SBI, FBI, police department intelligence units should have identified the leaders of the movement and the street organizers by now. Remove these people, charge them with insurrection and the riots will stop.

You’re not really that dumb, are you? All he’s telling us is to not start the trouble, which is sage advice considering one incident that happened that can be shown that our side starts will be blown out of proportion and give our enemies ammo to use. So stop being stuck on stupid and so emotional and think before you post this kind of childish drivel.

No, absolutely not. The way things are going Trump is going to WIN by a landslide as millions of disaffected liberals turn away in disgust at the antics of the radical left. If they start to get the impression Trump supporters are no better, they won’t be willing to vote to give the Democrats the comprehensive ass beating they are on course for and richly deserve.

And charged with murder for defending yourself

Yup.

What we need is for Barr, the FBI, and others do their frickin jobs.

But, they won't.

Ok, you’ve proven you are that dumb and not a very deep thinker. In fact I doubt very much that you ever “think” about anything, all you do is emote. Thus you are stuck on stupid.

Unlike Trump I prefer not to allow lawlessness to continue. Trump has been absent on crime. Even the coup participants have suffered nothing.

Stay out of their littler box. I avoid any city to the best of my ability, and when I do, I’m packing heat. If I am traveling, I go a hundred miles out of my way to avoid it. I know it’s different if you live in one. I don’t see any benefit to going to Portland or some other sh**hole to confront these people, because the Mayor, the DA and the PD are all part of the cabal. Let them burn it all to ashes as far as I am concerned.

If they come to my little town, however, now they are on my turf...

But if law enforcement is handcuffed or riffed, and prosecutors will not take action, it does fall on the citizens.

Sending in the national guard does not a civil war make. Does Kenosha look like a civil war today? No, it’s looking a lot better.

You quash the MoFos and bring peace back to our cities.

You start massive arrests of the leaders, the funders, the suppliers, and the networks set up to advance the plot against our nation.

I’d like to think our leaders have been documenting the tens, possibly hundreds of splinter terrorist groups feeding off the trough of funding to
participate in all this and it will ultimately be used to eviscerate the
militant end of the networked swamp. If so great.

We should never stand by and watch anarchy rule as we have.

Only when the leaders of BLM have been arrested, charged, convicted,
And sentenced will some of our youth finally gasp what fools they have been. And even then some of will be lost.

The network for all this propagandistic brainwashing must be rooted out
also.

We cannot wait two more months for corrective measures.

Our organized sports leagues are terrorist front organizations now.
Corporations are. This has to stop, and stop now.

The state or local authorities are responsible for the guard. The only time the fed can intervene is if federal property or lives are at risk

You have a lot of big talk for a guy who lives in California

The president can call out the National Guard any time he
deems a need.

You have very little talk for someone outside California.
