Trump to governors: You are weak, you must arrest people
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump derides the nation’s governors as “weak” and demands tougher crackdowns on protesters in the aftermath of another night of violent protests in dozens of American cities.
Trump speaks 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 says. “You have to arrest people.”
Attorney General Bill Barr, also on the call, tells governors they have to “dominate” the streets and control, not react to, crowds, and urges them to “go after troublemakers.”
