White House defends violent crackdown in Portland and warns feds could enter NYC

Source: New York Daily News

White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany vigorously defended the controversial federal crackdown on protesters in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday.

Facing a barrage of questions about the harsh crackdown, McEnany said the feds have every legal right to defend federal courthouses and statues that have been under attack by racial justice protesters.

The mouthpiece of President Trump took a partisan potshot at Democratic leaders of cities like New York and Chicago, ticking off a list of statistics depicting spikes in crime.

“Democrat streets are out of control,” McEnany said. “They should accept the help that President Trump is offering since they are clearly unable to do the job.”

It was settling down before Trump's jack booted thugs got involved.

Violent crackdowns on peaceful protesters is driving more voters away from him and all republicans. trump being sadistic towards protest or his opposition won't work in our country like it does for putin in russia.

I can help thinking about the fact that Dirty Donnie is up half the night on the phone with no call records. He's in deep for his Russian debts and who knows what promises he's made and what orders he's taken to our detriment.

Please, please, please Mr. pResident-in-Grief. Please just try to invade NYC with your jackbooted mercenaries under federal contract to the Department of Homeland Security.

Maybe that's just the spark needed to inspire the New York Times to take a deeper look at the terms of all those "security" contracts DHS has signed off on recently. Yes, please, go right ahead. I'm sure the financial pretzel-twisters who just restructured Constellis to save it from bankruptcy will be just thrilled to see the company's mercenary holdings like ACADEMI, Triple Canopy, Centerra, OMNIPLEX, Olive Group, Edinburgh International, and more splattered across the news as tRump's henchmen. Yes, yes, yes. Please try to pull this stunt in NYC. Do it. Do it. Do it.
