The language is so calculated. McEnany describes the protesters broadly as "anarchists" and defends Trump calling BLM a symbol of "hate." But she refers to "embers" of coronavirus flaring up after question on Fauci saying U.S. could be headed for 100,000 new cases a day. — PolitiTweet.org

Press sec opens WH briefing with another lengthy prepared statement focused not on the coronavirus pandemic but painting U.S. cities as under siege from protesters: "Law and order has prevailed and Seattle has been liberated from the anarchists." — PolitiTweet.org

@FenitN I remember when there was a go-go club in the basement -- and the Mayor's emergency command center on the top floor! — PolitiTweet.org

. @PressSec so much more animated in attacking the NYT than offering any criticism of Russia over the reports based on US intelligence sources that Moscow paid Afghan militants to kill American soldiers. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Merritt said if Trump doesn’t push for broader reforms the WH would “be exposed for being hypocritical and being liars and taking advantage of those most affected by police brutality... That would be more politically dangerous than he knows.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

Trump met w/families of black victims ahead of his police reform action. @MeritLaw told me Potus was attentive but none accepted invite to attend signing ceremony. Most didn’t watch it. One mother who chose not to meet Trump reacted angrily on Facebook after he mentioned her son. — PolitiTweet.org

When I asked WH aides why Trump didn’t mention support for peaceful protesters or empathy for victims in a Fox News town hall yesterday while denouncing vandals as “terrorists,” they said he had on multiple occasions. The most recent example in a list they provided was June 5. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

NEW: Since signing a modest action on police reform on June 16, Trump has shifted almost exclusively to “law-and-order” rhetoric — while dropping almost any pretense of personally addressing the widespread public anger over police brutality. w/@phscoop https://t.co/7bGqEgZ6lF — PolitiTweet.org

“Since the story appeared on June 6, more than 1,900 people from US and abroad have donated in excess of $130,000 to the family’s GoFundMe. The CEO of Camping World gave the family a 27-foot Coleman recreational vehicle to replace the 1998 trailer they lost amid the pandemic.” — PolitiTweet.org

The in-studio audience, which Hannity noted was kept small b/c of social distancing rules in Green Bay, included a number of people wearing MAGA hats and Trump campaign shirts. — PolitiTweet.org

Hannity asks Trump about his priorities if he wins a second term. Trump responds by ripping John Bolton as a "sick guy." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says Republicans have to get tougher on protesters/looters: "We told them, 'Every night we're going to get tougher and tougher.' And at some point there will be retribution because there has to be. These people are vandals, they're agitators, they're terrorists in a sense." — PolitiTweet.org

The stage for Trump and Hannity in their townhall today was set up to observe social distancing, but a minute earlier Hannity showed a walk-and-talk in which they were right next to each other. https://t.co/Hpki3mm1JO — PolitiTweet.org

Just noticed Trump is using a photo he took with Palm Beach police in 2018 as his Twitter profile wallpaper, as he continues to try to project “law and order” message amid protests. https://t.co/95HPlXxqRB — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy deflects by attacking Manu's question as superfluous. Yet Trump used "kung flu" to mock the virus in events with supporters who, following his lead, did not wear masks or social distance in two states where infections are spiking. — PolitiTweet.org
