Rep. Val Demings says President Trump was 'walking around with a gasoline can' while 'America was on fire' during civil unrest

Democratic Rep. Val Demings of Florida slammed President Donald Trump for his response to widespread, ongoing racial-justice demonstrations on Sunday, arguing that he has fueled tensions rather than trying to bring the country together.

"President Donald John Trump is the commander-in-chief, and so the buck stops with him," Demings said, adding that Trump was"not trying to sow peace and calm, but actually throwing fire onto an already volatile situation." Story continuesMany have accused Trump of playing a part in the violence by emboldening his supporters to physically attack protesters. Shortly after George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody on May 25 sparked massive protests across the country, Trump tweeted"when the looting starts, the shooting starts," which he later denied was a call to violence.

Soooo phoney! Riots were going on long before Biden came out of his basement. libs didn't say a word till polls showed such negativity.

Truth.

Val, have you considered doing your job rather than whine about Trump not doing it for you?

Never heard of her. Sort of ironic since the most notable thing BLM has done is burn down a bunch of shit.

verapoet Voting is the only legal way to get out of all of this. His reign of terror will surely end when we choose to end it.

How is she a Rep? She is one of the divisive probs in this country. How does she get elected

President Trump isn't 'fanning' anything, but you have to wonder what kind of cowardly population allows black thugs and communists to come in and burn their businesses and assault their citizens. We have a 2nd Amendment for a reason, people need to use it

What party controls the cities that were/are on fire?!?!?! RiotsNotProtests libtards MAGA MAGA2020

Why is she taking in the past. It's happening NOW!

GasolineDonald is throwing fuel on every fire 🔥 til he burns everything to the ground.

I do love her as a great Rep.

Oh please, it’s only happening in democrat socialist run cities that allow it. It’s weird these same people were rioting under Obama and the media didn’t blame him 🤔 The democrats think they can cause chaos and use it against realDonaldTrump but the people see the truth

Playing golf!

Bla bla bla all lies

Only Democrat states are sh*t and dem politicians r causing it. Rest of country is great. Actually I live outside Boston which is liberal but the people here won’t stand for BLM, riots & nonsense. They will chase them right the hell out of the neighborhood & city. Fact. Hands

There's civil unrest in a hand full of communist controlled American cities. Yahoo is the fake news master even worse than CNN.

Black racists and communists are the ones feeding the fire of hatred & destruction

How could someone like trump that has had EVERYTHING handed to him deny someone that has very little or NOTHING That's a mortal Sin

Both sides are fueling the unrest to get votes. So the one who lose are the common people. The partisanship and bias need to stop.

Like the arsonist that returns to the building he set on fire to watch it burn that is what Trump is.

We saw who had that gasoline can and it never was the president! Democratic ran states and cities rolled out the welcome mat for their political agenda chaos and mayhem.

LauraHennesse11 and that is stochastic terrorism.

The really think we are this stupid

TDS is strong in this one. Kamala Harris says protests will not stop and should not stop - not even after Election Day

Civil unrest or did you mean rioting from the left?

Shut up, you’ve done NOTHING to bring this country together!

My God these democrats are relentless, but everyone knows it was them who first supported BLM/ Antifa terrorist.
