“I have travelled to many countries and always support the right of every human being to protest peacefully for their beliefs and their causes,” Pompeo writes on Twitter.
“But violence, putting at risk the safety of others including those tasked with providing security for all of us, is intolerable both at home and abroad.”
But violence, putting at risk the safety of others including those tasked with providing security for all of us, is intolerable both at home and abroad. Let us swiftly bring justice to the criminals who engaged in this rioting.
