Quoth Donald, the President of the United States.
Trump made the remarks in an Oval Office interview with the Daily Caller hours after his Supreme Court nominee, Brett M. Kavanaugh, was greeted by protests on the first day of his confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill. “I don’t know why they don’t take care of a situation like that,” Trump said. “I think it’s embarrassing for the country to allow protesters. You don’t even know what side the protesters are on.” He added: “In the old days, we used to throw them out. Today, I guess they just keep screaming.”
More than 70 people were arrested after they repeatedly heckled Kavanaugh and senators at Tuesday’s hearing.
I guess Donald didn’t quite get the line in his Presidential oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Which includes, of course, that embarrassing “freedom of speech” part.
I can think of some more embarrassing things going on in our country right now, personally.
Can someone read IT the country’s Constitution?
In all the previous good old days POTUS were committed to the Oath of Office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution for ALL Americans, not just the rich with white skin.
Well, he is from NYC, which is famous for the Hard Hat Riot in the 70s and the Police Riot in the 80s where protestors were attacked.
+su ann lim Sadly, not all presidents have been that dedicated to the Constitution representing equally "ALL Americans". But there had been hope that at least they would still pay lip service to the idea.
