Peaceful protesters were just cleared away from Lafayette Park with tear gas and rubber bullets so this photo could happen. And yet the President insists he is an “ally of all peaceful protesters” and that his calls for crackdowns are aimed only at rioters & looters https://t.co/506D6LkctR — PolitiTweet.org

So police just fired tear gas on peaceful protesters so that the President could do a photo op at St. John’s Episcopal Church?? — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1

Trump advisers would like us to see a distinction in his rhetoric on cracking down on violent rioters vs. peaceful protesters. But it’s clear how little that distinction means to Trump based on what we are seeing outside the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

The dissonance between comments like these and his "official" position on criminal justice reform (signing First Step Act) is striking. Trump has been guided toward criminal justice reform...but when left to his own devices he always falls back on tough on crime mantras — PolitiTweet.org

Trump accuses most governors of being "weak" during a conference call, per @ryanobles “It’s a movement, if you don’t put it down it will get worse and worse,” Trump said, per a source. “The only time it's successful is when you’re weak and most of you are weak.” — PolitiTweet.org

Obama also appealing to use public protest to "raise public awareness" but then translate that into change at the ballot box -- especially at the state & local level: "If we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama on outbreaks of violence: "The small minority of folks who’ve resorted to violence in various forms, whether out of genuine anger or mere opportunism, are putting innocent people at risk." "So let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it," Obama writes — PolitiTweet.org
