Asked about BLM movement, @Presssec says "Of course all black lives matter, but in terms of the movement, they define themselves as 'defund the police.' And that's something this president stands against." — PolitiTweet.org

McEnany clearly anticipated a Romney question on Black Lives Matter: "Mitt Romney can say three words... President Trump won 8 percent black vote; Mitt Romney won 2 percent." (Actually 6) She cites Romney's 47 percent remarks. "The president takes great offense at those words." — PolitiTweet.org

McEnany on forceful removal of protesters from Lafayette Square last Monday: "There’s no regrets on the part of this White House." But she insists it was Justice Dept and Park Police that made decision. — PolitiTweet.org

McEnany on Trump's view of NFL players kneeling in protest of racial injustice: He's "not a fan of the kneeling movement because he thinks it’s disrespectful to our military..because the kneeling originated with the national anthem." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about "defund the police" movement, McEnany ticks off a list of Dems and describes @AOC as: "Biden adviser, AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez." — PolitiTweet.org

From our story on Trump-Bowser feud: The mayor viewed his “vicious dogs” tweet as racist. “She honed in on that phrase. To think about her parents, their peers, folks who actually had to go through that. She went to Selma 1 1/2 years ago with John Lewis.” https://t.co/dRa20H8ufM — PolitiTweet.org

“‘The battlespace’ was how Defense Sec Mark Esper had described the city, but the resulting shows of force meant to send a message to protesters — stay home — had inspired the opposite. By Saturday, the battle space morphed into what felt like a carnival.” https://t.co/mnmcmrcTvx — PolitiTweet.org

On Monday, after St. John’s Church burned in the protest, Mayor Bowser toured the damage in a basement nursery. Wearing a facemask, she stepped gingerly on a wooden plank to view the charred walls and flooded floor. That evening Trump had a photo-op there but did not go inside. https://t.co/vVbSBUZL1U — PolitiTweet.org

Set against the backdrop of the pitched national protests, relations between Trump and Mayor Bowser have erupted into an ugly schism freighted with the overtones of race and power. Inside their 10-day battle for control. W/⁦@jdawsey1⁩ ⁦@FenitN⁩ https://t.co/dRa20H8ufM — PolitiTweet.org

@byaaroncdavis It confused me and I’ve had to reread it several times, but this graf seems to suggests “real” unemployment in April was 19.7 percent so even at 16.3 in May it did go down, in fact more so that official numbers. https://t.co/Z3uFocvBN5 — PolitiTweet.org

Whether one believes it, the Pentagon explanation for Monday was that Esper and Milley didn't know the St. John's photo op was coming and Trump roped them into it. Today Trump called presser, spoke for 53 min, crowded reporters together for optics and didn't answer questions. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

Trump wanted Rose Garden presser to look more packed so reporters were moved closer together. This is what he's trying to do with rallies and culminated this week with RNC Convention being moved out of Charlotte after governor wouldn't guarantee allowing 19,000 people in arena. — PolitiTweet.org
