It’s a sad thing, very sad thing.
WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday he had watched the video of Ahmaud Arbery being shot and found it “very disturbing” and “heartbreaking,” but said he was confident that the Georgia legal system would come down on the side of justice.
In a phone interview on Fox News Friday morning Trump said Arbery’s death on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Ga. was “a very disturbing situation to me.” He did not comment on the outrage that has been sparked this week by the release of a video showing a Arbery, a 25-year old black man who was unarmed, stopped in the middle of a road by two white men, a father and son, before he was shot to death. The president did note that he had seen a photo of Arbery wearing a tuxedo.
