1) Far-right actors are conspiring violence at protests and are even among those police/military tasked to uphold order. But instead of addressing any of this, @realDonaldTrump is too busy accusing 75-year-old protestors of being Antifa operatives. This is outrageous.
2) POTUS loathes when people accuse him of stoking racism after events like Charlottesville. And once more, with these protests, he had a chance to prove us wrong, to address systemic racism in any capacity. But once more, we didn’t get the leader the moment called for. 
3) Instead, America got an agitator throwing red meat to the far-right, sending nods that it’s okay to assault protesters because 'Hey, they’re probably Antifa anyway.’
I refuse to pretend that this is normal or acceptable. This is exactly what feeds hatred across a country.

4) As @washingtonpost accurately summed it up, @realDonaldTrump “is inventing a domestic terror threat from whole cloth” with his Antifa conspiracy theories and creating “an excuse for military escalation…The real provocateur here is the president.”
