As the nation continues to grapple with unrest, Trump on Monday morning retweeted video of a white couple, armed with guns pointed at Black Lives Matter protesters in St. Louis as they marched toward the mayor's home to demand her resignation Sunday night

Despite the uproar over the video of the man at The Villages retirement community in Florida shouting"white power" back at a counter protester, and Trump calling them"great people," White House press secretary Kaleigh McEnany opened Monday's press briefing echoing the president's"law and order" message, providing an update on arrests made amid ongoing nationwide protests against racism, including attacks on statues.

In an interview with Fox News earlier Monday, McEnany also did not take the opportunity to condemn use of the phrase or the sentiment behind it. Instead, she repeated her deputy's statement from the day before.

Her deputy, Judd Deere, on Sunday pointed to the"tremendous enthusiasm" of the supporters in the video -- also without noting any issue with the chant. Other than Scott, who was asked about it in a CNN interview, there has been virtual silence from other Republicans.During the 2016 campaign, it took him months to disavow David Duke, leader of the Ku Klux Klan -- at one point professing he had no idea who he was.

Said What!!!!!

While privilege for all to see. If they were black they would be dead. The Police would be the first to shoot.

And the lady clear lay don't know how to handle a fire arm when a couple times she pointed it at her husband's back of his head

It's hard to imagine a leader of any coyntry would think it appropriate. Lost for words.

Because The Leader Of the Free World Has Told Them, 'it's ok.'

This is what now has to happen to protect your own property from the rioters that destroy gates and property! A “white couple” have every right to protect themselves!

Perfect poster children for the “White Wing” GOP. Running outside waving guns at protestors like they are a zombie apocalypse is just pure stupidity. You call the police and take a position inside your home for protection. She was more likely to shoot him than anyone else.

Fix they statement. They broke into private neighborhood by breaking the gate.

So it's okay to have looting, burning, rioting and occupying city block but it's not okay to protect one's home?

Take away their guns.

THEY'RE REGISTERED DEMOCRATS TOO🤣 EATING YOUR OWN!😂😂

Heroes! AntifaTerrorists

With a small mind comes a narrow focus.

Americans and guns... A Sad indictment.

The the right-wing says wearing a mask is a sign of irrational fear. 🤦‍♂️

They should be arrested. racists pigs

bunker boy promotes this.

Republigoons!

They are Democrats and support BLM. The MSM ‘outrage’ over this story will disappear in 3...2...

Black lives don't matter in the eyes of realDonaldTrump , atleast in his actions.

Grammar check? How can your news be trusted when you don’t even know how to write properly....

Armed mob breaks in to gated community. Threatened residents. Homeowners take thier guns out and everyone goes home safely.

White House Press Secretary Defends Trump Sharing 'White Power' VideoKayleigh McEnany said Trump shared the video for his 'demonized' supporters and claimed the president somehow 'did not hear' the white supremacist slogan. Very 'convenient' how the staff around Trump spend their days excusing Trump's short-comings, fabrications, and failures with less and less creative lies. And, Kayleigh McEnany asserted the NYT & WaPo ”should return their Pulitzers!” If only Trump would withdraw his presidency for saying; in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus, and the 15 cases will soon be zero

Trump Wasn’t Briefed on Russian Bounty Intelligence Because It Wasn’t Verified, White House SaysPresident Trump and Vice President Pence weren’t told about intelligence showing Russia paid bounties to Afghan militants to attack U.S. forces because the intelligence community and security officials hadn’t reached a consensus about its veracity, the White House press secretary said. Raw intel that was clearly leaked in order to further a political goal. Likely endangering lives in the process. Quit carrying his water... British, German and French IC confirmed... Liars😜
