Trump Vows ‘Retribution’ Against ‘Terrorists’ Who Target Confederate Monuments: WATCH

June 25, 2020 by John Wright Leave a Comment

During an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that’s scheduled to air on Thursday night, President Donald Trump threatened “retribution” against “terrorists” who are targeting Confederate monuments as part of ongoing Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

“I stopped it the other night,” Trump said, referring to an attempt to tear down an Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square, near the White House. “Every night, we’re going to get tougher and tougher, and at some point there is going to be retribution because there has to be. These people are vandals, but they’re agitators, but they’re really, they’re terrorists in a sense.”

The clip of Trump’s remarks can be viewed in this Fox News report shortly after the 0:40 mark:

Vowing "retribution" against "terrorists"?

How many hours / days away are we from Trump literally saying the south will rise again? https://t.co/Lig5glOrpl

Interesting who he believes are terrorist and who aren't… remember, Trump refuses to call mass murderers that https://t.co/FKoNKDlOYb

Note: numerous domestic terrorists both successful and unsuccessful have cited Trump & the GOP as their inspiration/radicalization https://t.co/7yJl1kakLy

Yes Donald Trump sees black people who don't want to be murdered by police as terrorists. This is not an especially shocking revelation considering he took out a full-page ad calling for the government to murder black people who were found innocent.

Trump calling American protestors terrorists – and predicting "retribution" – I'm 100% sure he doesn't mean orderly law enforcement and trials – https://t.co/QBG66ZUDzy

There we go again with the president using the word "terrorists" https://t.co/E0cpeASKAB

No wonder @realDonaldTrump needs his Hannity Binky tonight. https://t.co/UO6rwePjFA

Trump thinks protesters are terrorists because he’s terrified of opposition. Maybe instead he should try acting like a leader but he never would, he’s also terrified of taking any sort of responsibility for his malfeasance. https://t.co/mrOr8DBVGG

A President of the United States calling protesters, who are simply exercising their Constitutional rights, "terrorists."

The armed protesters in MI, that was fine.

That is all you need to know about WHY Donald Trump needs to be a ONE term President. Despicable.
