The attorney general's comments echo those made by President Donald Trump in a tweet, and the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota.

In a short statement on Saturday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said that the unrest during the George Floyd protests over the last four days was due to"outside radicals and agitators."

"In many places it appears the violence is planned, organized and driven by anarchic and far-left extremist groups using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from outside the state to promote the violence," he added."80% of the RIOTERS in Minneapolis last night were from OUT OF STATE. They are harming businesses , homes, and the community of good, hardworking Minneapolis residents who want peace, equality, and to provide for their families," Trump wrote.

"Because we had a relative stillness in St. Paul, we didn't make an enormous number of arrests, but every single person we arrested last night, I'm told, was from out of state. What we are seeing right now is a group of people who are not from here," Carter said.

Minnesota AG: Infiltrators seek to tarnish Minneapolis protestsMinneapolis protests in the wake of the death of unarmed black men George Floyd after he was taken into police custody may be attracting white supremacists and other infiltrators, according to recent statements by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tells Joy Reid, ‘The people who would go out on the street to protest for justice for Mr. Floyd are not going to burn down the historic social justice advocacy groups for the Native American community... That's not what these kinds of folks do.’ Cover the pandemic please! You’re no longer showing numbers of deaths or new cases, nothing! There’s still a pandemic! Can’t you walk & chew gum at the same time? Now it’s just the damn protests! You criticized FOX for not covering virus enough & now you’re doing the same thing! Kinda not caring what Kieth Ellison says - He’s not to be trusted as Minnesota AG - Chickens are coming home to roost. MSNBC reporter says “I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly.' As a building burns in the background...
