Trump slams governors as 'weak' and demands they 'arrest people'



By Associated Press -June 1, 2020 12:50 PM

Attorney General Barr joined Trump to tell governors they have to 'dominate' the streets and 'go after troublemakers.'

Donald Trump on Monday derided the nation's governors as "weak" and demanded tougher crackdowns on protesters in the aftermath of another night of violent protests in dozens of American cities.

Trump spoke to governors on a video teleconference with law enforcement and national security officials, telling the local leaders they "have to get much tougher" amid nationwide protests and criticizing their responses.

"Most of you are weak," Trump said. "You have to arrest people."

The days of protests were triggered by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after he was pinned at the neck by a white Minneapolis police officer. They turned violent in several cities, with looting and mayhem, and fires ignited in the historic park across from the White House.

Let me see, the head guy in the DOj, couldn't correctly remember during his confirmation hearing, because he was having visions of his federalist society BS dancing thru his corrupt head, if he registered for the draft during the Vietnam War..........I had to, because they sent me a letter............and never forgot that moment..............I got a notice and I couldn't vote...................

And then there is the twinkle toes........................he still has that orange hair bone spur flapping around between his ears....................




So if they were not out protesting in the 60's and 70's then they have no legitimacy today to understand what a protest is...................

I have an idea, Donnie-boy!
Come to IL. JB would be happy to order the first arrest. He has a state police contingent everywhere he goes.

While he is hiding in the basement with a case of Depends, the governors are cleaning up his messes.
All over this country.

He is an idiot.

He must resign now.
