See for yourself:
Saddened to see our country & communities being damaged & vandalized. I ask everyone to protest in peace & focus on taking care of one another & healing our great nation.
— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) June 1, 2020
Remarks from Trump come after yet another night of violent riots. This time, the destructive demonstrations reached new levels with Washington D.C.’s historic St. John’s Church being set ablaze by rioters. The church has, thus far, hosted every single U.S. president since James Madison and is not too far away from the White House.
However, last night’s violence didn’t merely take place in D.C. Various cities across the nation struggled with containing protesters who continued to loot neighborhoods and various communities.
The latest night of violence occured as reports surfaced that a Dallas man who was battered in the streets this weekend died; horrific footage online showed this man attempting to defend his business from looters only to take a beating and be left on the streets, seemingly unconscious and with blood coming from his face.
President Trump has urged elected officials to get their act together and stop tolerating violent riots in their cities. Additionally comes the warning of federal government intervention if governors and mayors continue failing to calm down social unrest.
