Anger over Floyd’s death sparked demonstrations across America. Curfews were enacted in more than two dozen cities and the National Guard was summoned in at least 12 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to peaceful chanting and protesting, some people set fires and looted businesses. Police officers in parts of the country tear-gassed protesters, drove cars through crowds and targeted news media crews with nonlethal rounds.

O’Brien said Sunday he has been on the phone with allies of the United States and other national security advisers as they look into interference from foreign adversaries. The national security adviser defended President Donald Trump, who has been accused of inciting violence with his tweets. He blamed far-left groups and Antifa for inciting much of the violence and said the “bad apples” in police departments should be removed, condemning Derek Chauvin — the white Minneapolis officer who killed Floyd by kneeling on his neck — and the three officers who stood by.

O’Brien promised Chauvin would be investigated and prosecuted with a fair trial. He added that he “can’t imagine” the other officers wouldn’t be charged. “There's a difference between us and you,” he said, speaking of foreign adversaries. “When this happens, we'll get to the bottom of it and we'll clean it up. It's not going to be covered out. And this wasn't done on behalf of the party or on behalf of the state.”

They could be.but whites do it too

That's been TRAITOR 👿👿 TRUMP'S STYLE since the beginning😷😷🤔🤔😠😠😠🗽🗽🗽💙💙

Trump is a foreign power?

So what are you doing about it nothing

Just figured that out? This is why Putin gave us Drumpf.

Russia's objective is working... divide U.S., divide the alliances, divide the world are catastrophic events but, is opportunistically favorable to Russia's grand scheme of revenge to the western world. Having Trump as walking sticks is so effective. 2nd Term help is on the way..

I say: Very simple explanation. Lockdowns relate to unrest in USA.

Exactly. Putin's wet dream.

Blaming foreign powers again, come on America, man up and own this shit...

He looks like a Nazi and probably is a White Supremacist at least. He’s another propagandists for Trump. There’s no other foreign actors in the US after 9/11. That’s the American People and they’re Mad As Hell!

Really? Who saw that coming? Thanks, Captain Obvious!!

What u do.the others..it may comw back to u one day....

That's right. It's part of Putin's plan. That's why he worked to get Trump elected. You're not paying attention. China will be in there cos why not?

It’s is disgusting to see the racism and how they treat the African Americans in USA! But more important, everybody regardless race, religion, cultural , political background , sexual orientation must rise the voice to promote change and equal treatment! Wake up USA! Vote

Mr. NSAGov, I can tell you who the foreign power is, that wants to exploit the ongoing civil unrest in America. It’s the Communist China!

Hey that’s the media’s job. No fair.

No we are doing it to ourselves quit blaming others for our failure to unite👹👹👹👹

At this point no one knows who is stoking the flames. it must be a collaborative job between Trump and Russia and China. You will see the investigation. It will be just like the 2016 election. You will find out Trump was involved with Russia

He must mean Ukraine

It’s clear that America is being lead by the Joker, because America has gone from being a SuperPower to a SuperJoke

Well his boss does that better than anyone

Aló, Chile? Hello, Chile?

Trump did enough divisions from day one as a president, no foreign powers need to give a hand😂

I didn’t realize that the Trump family was considered a foreign power.

The SenateGOP has 3.5 years to do something about government interference. They have done nothing.

National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien: the fault lies in our Oval Office where Trump exploits the House Divided with his vituperative rhetoric, executive orders, and staff appointments.

That may be true regarding foreign forces exploiting the systemic injustices of your nation;therefore, you have just contradicted your own claim there is no systemic issue with policing in USA there has to be something there to exploit.

You think?

It also helps when you go on national TV and say that there's no systemic racism in the US...

Duh? And your boss is inviting their help!

So if we become a true democratic, representative republic one that assures equal opportunity for all, we become a securer nation? We're down for that. Let's do it! 1st thing, stop stealing elections & rein in abusive capitalism.

Invited by this administration.

right, cause its them damn foreigners that are the real bigots?

Our Intelligence Agencies knew Russia was doing this during the 2016 campaign. Trump ignored it and sided with Russia over US intel.

The right will cal this ‘fake news’ any moment. Rinse, lather, repeat.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🤣

No trumpy TROLLL is doing that talking vicious dogs and weapons🤬

Mr O’Brien - who is causing & perpetuating this dangerous divide? Think real hard - and be honest ...

More likely they may want to exploit the lack of leadership and the diviciveness of Trump and the inattention of a Twitter fingered and ineffective 'President'.

Divert, distract, accept blame for nothing.

Don't tell me, foreing powers calling for a regime change? Next they will be supporting the freedom fighters and accusing the ruling government of crimes against its own citizens.

If we didn’t have them they wouldn’t be there to exploit.

Nah, all you have to do is look at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Resignations required.

Like Russia?

Just like they did in 2016. Hmm... What's similar about these 2 years?

They have an ally in POTUS so what’s the issue!

LOLOLOL my parents are from China so I watch Commie news sometimes. Ya know what? China is blaming you (CIA) are working in Hong Kong to promote the violence and escalate the riots in HK!!!! How table turns. Btw we are the people who saw what happened and we are angry.

No it’s the media and US congress!

Yes, welcome to 2016, Jack-A**

Russia? Tell us who they are.

They allowed it during the presidential election what’s wrong with it now

There have to be racial divisions to exploit them. And the fascistic pig in the WH and his bootlickers want it that way.

Don’t look too far because he currently occupies the White House

Which foreign powers? Can he name them?

So instead of doing anything to remedy the situation the plan is—?

Wow, shocking. /s

Fuck him, his boss loves foreign help. Take it up with unfit45

It would be pretty easy to do that, since racial divide is everywhere!

Like our president and Ag

I agree and Putin is using Trump to accomplish this end.

You mean, Russia?

We have a problem with our police. We need to start there

Ya think? Putin!

So is Trump.

The nations greatest threat comes from the Trump administration and those who would support it.

HotlineJosh Tell your boss so he can tell his boss...

The understatement of the last 43 months.
