POTUS considering invoking "Insurrection Act" after Rand Paul attacked outside WH

Pres. Trump speaks at Londonderry, NH rally
Aug. 28, 2020

It looks as if President Trump has had enough. After the RNC Thursday, scores of violent protesters surrounded Rand Paul, his wife and two friends, and nearly knocked them to the ground. The police escort prevented them from going down, just as Paul prevented an officer from having the same thing happen to him.

[Certain] Black Lives Matter activists also harassed others who attended the Rose Garden festivities--they were screamed and cursed at and one young anarchist double-flipped "the bird" at an elderly lady for the crime of being a white Trump supporter. 

And preceding this violence, Democratic-run cities and towns, places that have been under the leadership of the left for decades, have experienced violent riots, looting, burned out buildings and even murder. Democrat leaders refused to allow law enforcement to stop the anarchy, and some like, Maxine Waters, Ayanna Pressley and Democratic VP nominee, Kamala Harris, have gone so far as to encourage the activists. 

President Trump has reached his limit, and it's too bad it took this long.

Trump said Friday night that he's seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 in order to quell the rioting that is killing towns, cities and even people. The catalyst for this was the RNC incidents by Black Lives Matter [when they aren't law enforcement or Trump voters].

At his first post-convention campaign rally, he told his supporters in Manchester, NH, about the "thugs" who attacked Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and others after leaving the event where he gave his acceptance speech on the South Lawn Friday morning.

“They took tremendous abuse,” President Trump said. “Rand Paul was in big trouble last night. He’s a friend of mine. They walk out and they get accosted and they get abused. They get spit on. It’s a disgrace.” He explained to the audience that Sen. Paul "would be in either very bad shape or dead . . . that would include his wife" if the D.C. police had not been there to run interference with the crowd.

Trump faulted Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, for allowing the "anarchists" to get near the White House. He said, "We're not going to allow that to happen."

“Our country’s going to change,” he said. “We’re not supposed to go in, unless we call it an 'insurrection.' But you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to have to look at it. [White House Chief of Staff] Mark Meadows is here. and we’re going to have to look at it, because we’re not going to let that happen to people that go to the White House to celebrate our country.”

Had President Trump intervened with federal personnel during the riots, the left would have labeled him a 'dictator.' Since he hasn't gone in, Biden is blaming him for the violence. Meanwhile, Trump has shown incredible patience and appropriately allowed local government to handle it--he offered federal help was told he was not to get involved while the left allowed the anarchy to go on for three months now.

The president has criticized Democratic governors and mayors for doing nothing and refusing help in dealing with the riots, which began over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis It was recently learned that his death was actually caused by the fentanyl in his system, not by the knee to his neck by officer Derek Chauvin who held him down for over eight minutes.

“If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them,” he said at the time, indirectly implying the use of the rarely used Insurrection Act.

Trump referred to the protesters as "agitators" and "troublemakers." Using his go-to insult he said that Mayor Bowser "should be ashamed of herself for that kind of display of incompetence.”

“That’s what’s happening in Portland, and that’s what’s happening all over. You have Democrat-run cities,” he said.

Trump then spoke about Biden, saying the Democratic nominee for president is only speaking out now about the violence because his popularity is falling in the polls. He waited over three months to open his mush-mouth only for political reasons, not because he actually cares.

“The poll numbers have swung,” Trump said. “Today it was announced that Joe Biden is coming out of the basement, because the poll numbers have totally swung. It was a rapid swing.”

Totally.
