A day before his scheduled rally in Tulsa, the president tied protesters to "anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes" who might consider having a presence.
The day before his scheduled rally in Tulsa, President Trump warned “any protesters” that they can expect rough treatment at the hands of Oklahoma law enforcement, in a tweet that lumped them in with criminals.
Just before the crowd outside the White House was attacked, Trump said he was supportive of peaceful demonstrations, stating, “I am your President of law and order, and an ally of all peaceful protesters.” Trump and his Justice Department have tried to portray violent protesters as members of the left-wing group antifa, but so far there’s little evidence to support the claims. The murder of a Santa Cruz County deputy was initially portrayed as the work of rioters but earlier this week police charged an Air Force sergeant with ties to the “boogaloo” group, a right-wing movement that wants an escalation of violence to start a second American civil war.
