Trump Threatens White House Protesters With ‘Vicious Dogs’ and ‘Ominous Weapons’ – a whole day after pretending he wasn’t stoking racism & violence in “looting & shooting” tweet about protests in #Minneapolis, via @maggieNYT nytimes.com/2020/05/30/us/… #GeorgeFloydProtests
@maggieNYT 😧"MAGA loves the black people" isn't the worst thing Trump said today.

😨WORSE: He invited his fans to the WH to counter & clash w/ anti-racist #GeorgeFloyd protesters

😰EVEN WORSE: He said WH Secret Service was "just waiting for action" w/ "vicious dogs" & "ominous weapons."
@maggieNYT MUCH WORSE: Trump threatened to "step in" w/ "unlimited Military power" if "Liberal Governors & Mayors" aren't "MUCH tougher" on protesters.

He's fomenting civil war w/ insane & illegal dictator BS to hurt Democrats—to get re-elected. Sick beyond words.

@maggieNYT We'd be naive to dismiss a desperate tyrant's threat of military action. Note Trump's tweet came w/in minutes of Barr blaming "left outside agitators" for the violence in #Minneapolis, ignoring reports of provocateurs & right-wing extremists causing mayhem. #GeorgeFloydProtests
@maggieNYT "The protests have changed the national conversation from over 100,000 dead … to rising violence and chaos on American streets."

Barr & Trump blame the Left, ignoring indicators that Far-Right extremists are stoking #GeorgeFloydProtests to cause chaos, mayhem, race-civil war.⬇️
America tearing itself apart has been a Russian goal since Soviet days. Thx to Putin helping Trump & GOP, RW propaganda media, disinformation campaigns, social media, trolls, hackers, provocateurs that agitate, disrupt & menace, we look like we’re imploding. #GeorgeFloydProtests

.@DonLemon: We in the media have to be more savvy about how this admin operates. They put on reality shows for their base. Barr walking around the WH w/ military police protection delivers a message of "law & order."

It's probably also to counter wimpy Trump #bunderboy image.
🔥@Acosta: Trump invoked the 1807 Insurrection Act—an extraordinary use of military force—to clear out peaceful protesters at the White House, so he could walk with aides to St John's Church. He mobilized US military for the first time in 200 years—for a photo op. Extraordinary.
There it is. Dictator Trump had the US military attack peaceful protesters w/ tear gas so he could have this "law & order" Bible-holding photo-op. He mumbled some Trumpy crap too: "It's not going to take long. It's a great country. It's coming back. Greater than ever before."

Shocker: AG Barr blames leftist “outside agitator” groups for violence in #Minneapolis—ignoring numerous reports of white supremacist agitators just discussed by Minnesota officials.

Selecting a right-wing narrative distorts the facts & paves the way for more violent extremism.
Joy's THREAD reviews evidence from Minnesota officials of violence & mayhem in Minneapolis by white supremacists, who are organizing online. It takes time & investigation to connect them to the acts on the ground. Barr's not helping by focusing only on leftists. @JoyAnnReid
@JoyAnnReid Lest anyone forget: The mother of all outside agitators—Putin—stoked extremes on left & right in 2016, attacking our democracy just as he did others in Europe.

⬇️THREAD on Russia's troll army organizing US protests, creating fake black activists, exploiting racism & its victims.

Minnesota Governor: What started out as a community & state trying to make ourselves better, demand justice & express righteous anger morphed into something very different. They destroyed black businesses & native infrastructure. THEY ARE NOT US.
#Minneapolis #GeorgeFloydProtests
MN @LtGovFlanagan: White supremacists & anarchists are burning down institutions core to our identity. We need to grieve and mourn. To do that, we need to remove the people who are doing us harm. Stay home tonight, so we can remove those folks. #GeorgeFloydProtests #Minneapolis
MN state senator Torres Ray: White supremacists & anarchists looted a liquor store, got drunk & violent. I am shocked at tactics of these outside terrorists. They target us b/c we’re progressives. They want to stop us here in #Minneapolis & across the nation. #GeorgeFloydProtests
