Mayor Muriel Bowser says Trump's response to protests brought out more demonstrators

President Donald Trump's comments and federal response to the recent George Floyd protests encouraged more people to demonstrate this weekend, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said on ABC's "This Week."

"What (Trump) actually did -- as you saw for the remaining days -- was turn out more people and more people who were there for peaceful protests," Bowser said Sunday.

Speaking from Washington, Bowser told Co-anchor Martha Raddatz, "What Americans saw was federal police forces tear gassing peaceful Americans, and how they responded made clear to the president that Americans would exercise their first amendment rights and they will do it peacefully."

Protests that began in Minneapolis over Floyd's death in police custody on Memorial Day expanded to cities around the world, with some in the U.S. turning violent and destructive. Governors in 32 states and Washington, D.C., have activated more than 32,400 members of the National Guard.
