President Donald Trump praised support for law enforcement officers during an event held at the White House on Saturday.
“I’m honored to welcome, we call this, a ‘peaceful protest’ to the White House in support of the incredible men and women of law enforcement and all of the people that work so well with us,” he said.
“I want to thank our law enforcement and I want to thank everybody in the community and the community drives for working with our law enforcement. I want to thank them,” he added.
Trump walked on the Blue Room balcony wearing a mask and delivered his address on his support for law enforcement.
He received an enthusiastic response from his supporters.
The Saturday event organized by Candace Owens’s BLEXIT Foundation is the first public event the president attended in person after he was diagnosed with the CCP virus, also known as novel coronavirus.
Hundreds of Trump supporters from the BLEXIT movement, a campaign that urges black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, attended the event after they rallied in support of the police in a “BLEXIT Back the Blue” event held on the Ellipse between the White House and the Washington Monument.
Yolanda de la Torre, an attendant from California, told reporters that she feels the event was like a “celebration.”
“We heard that we’re gonna be out here to back the blue and our family is very pro-police officer, law enforcement, law and order. So we had to come out here and do our part,” she said.
