President Trump has finally broken his silence surrounding the riots and used some of it to slam Joe Biden’s staff who are using funds to bail “anarchists” out of jail.
According to The Daily Wire:
After going notably quiet for several hours after a series of riot-themed posts slamming the mainstream media for “doing everything within their power to foment hatred and anarchy,” calling for “law and order,” and declaring that the U.S. will be designating Antifa a terrorist organization, President Trump blasted out more tweets Monday morning picking up where he left off and condemning presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s staff for donating money to help bail out “anarchists.”
In a tweet citing Newt Gingrich and “Fox & Friends,” Trump tweeted the quote: “‘These were the people that trashed Seattle years ago. Who’s paying for these people. I was appalled that 13 of Joe Biden’s staff were donating money to bail people out in Minneapolis. They should have stayed in jail until this is over (and beyond).’”
“Sleepy Joe Biden’s people are so Radical Left that they are working to get the Anarchists out of jail, and probably more,” Trump wrote in a follow-up tweet (posts below). “Joe doesn’t know anything about it, he is clueless, but they will be the real power, not Joe. They will be calling the shots! Big tax increases for all, Plus!”
Before the Gingrich quote, Trump posted another quote from “Fox & Friends,” this time attributed to co-host Brian Kilmeade saying the group behind some of the protests appear to be Antifa and noting that white supremacists groups do not appear to be involved. “‘I don’t see any indication that there were any white supremest groups mixing in. This is an ANTIFA Organization. It seems that the first time we saw it in a major way was Occupy Wall Street. It’s the same mindset,’” Trump tweeted citing Kilmeade. “TRUE!” Trump added.
Biden has stated through a campaign spokesman that he opposes the current cash bail system and calls it a “modern-day debtors prison.”
