Mayor Muriel Bowser says Trump's response to protests brought out more demonstrators

A street sign for the renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza is seen near St. John's Episcopal Church, as the protests against the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd continue, in Washington, June 5, 2020.

A street sign for the renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza is seen near St. John's Episcopal Church, as the protests against the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd continue, in Washington, June 5, 2020.but it looked more like a summer street festival, especially compared to earlier in the week.

Despite the mayor's actions to challenge the federal response to the demonstrations, some protesters have remained unimpressed. The Black Lives Matter organization in WashingtonAs the crowds dispersed Saturday in Washington, an addition to the city's mural was revealed. Next to the,"Black Lives Matter" mural, protesters added"=Defund the Police" in yellow on 16th Street in front of the White House.

"Well, it's not a part of the mural and we certainly encourage expression, but we are using the city streets in the city art," Bowser said. When pressed by Raddatz about whether the city would remove the protesters' new addition to the mural, Bowser only said she hadn't had the opportunity to review it.

MarthaRaddatz Certainly agree with Trump on this one! Appears Black Movement has lost track since 60’s and losing ground with no direction! Watched Author Executive Shelly Steeil in Life Liberty& Levin Show on Fox News Sunday night! Made real sence Get him and other Black leaders forHelp!

MarthaRaddatz So Potus made a good call. Once there was a response to the rioting, looting, destruction and arson more peaceful protests could occur. 👍

MarthaRaddatz Washington, DC, sees city's largest George Floyd protests yet

MarthaRaddatz And she had no part in encouraging the rioters by painting up the streets. BS that drew more rioters there b/c they knew they would be protected.

Lacm29Marthe MarthaRaddatz SUCH BS. I hope DC residents oust her disingenuous and incompetent !!

MarthaRaddatz This mayor is disgusting, she should be protecting our nation's capital at any cost regardless of race. Instead she endorses a violent racist group as BLM and even painted on the street. SMH. This is what her infamous BLM supports...

MarthaRaddatz It’s amazing how she let her city go to hell in a couple of days but trump steps in puts a stop to it and now only peaceful protests are happening no more destruction!!!

MarthaRaddatz Another way to look at it might be that Antifa melted into the background once law enforcement response became strong enough and normal citizens made shows of force, allowing peaceful protestors to feel safe coming out in bigger numbers.

MarthaRaddatz The Mayor's 'stay-at-home' orders and all business closings have ended. Citizens are no longer prohibited from social gatherings, religious congregations, their freedom of association... Science was set aside (or, shown to not have been the primary concern all along)

MarthaRaddatz Call Attorney General Barr he will give the order to clear them out . The Stable genius’s personal attorney ?

MarthaRaddatz Bs on steroids!

MarthaRaddatz And yet people still can't go to church in crowds bigger than 10. You can only go to Bowser's actual church of politics.

MarthaRaddatz So, “DEFUND THE POLICE” is the answer? What are they thinking 🤔? Lumping ALL police into the “stereotype” of the “bad cop” hurts us all. 🤯😤

MarthaRaddatz MayorBowser Nice Try!
