This afternoon, @realDonaldTrump on #GeorgeFloydMurder: “It’s very important, I believe, to the family, to everybody that the memory of George Floyd be a perfect memory, let it be a perfect memory. /1
The looters should not be allowed to drown out the voices of so many peaceful protesters. They hurt so badly what is happening and it's so bad for the state and for that great city. /2
So we are working very closely with the Justice Department, we’re working with local law enforcement, we’re working with everybody and we’re speaking with the family and hopefully everything can be fairly taken care of. I understand the hurt. /3
I understand the pain. People have really been through a lot. The family of George is entitled to justice and the people of Minnesota are entitled to live in safety. Law and order will prevail. /4
The Americans will honor the memory of George and the Floyd family. It's very important to us. It's very important to me to see that everything is taken care of properly. /5
It's a horrible, horrible situation, and so we’ll be reporting back in due course and as quickly as possible.” /End
