Monday on CNN’s New Day, Rep. James Clyburn accused Attorney General Barr and President Trump of “doing everything they possibly can to impose Gestapo activities” in Portland to stem the rioting.
Asserting that he believes “law enforcement should be left up to local communities,” Clyburn complained, “For all of a sudden for these people to go in there, nothing from the governor, from local law enforcement, show up with their faces covered in unmarked cars, this commercial in this ad from the Lincoln Project is exactly what we are about to experience in this country, the beginning of the ending of this democracy.”
“That kind of activity is the activity of a police state, and this president and this attorney general seem to be doing everything they possibly can to impose Gestapo activities in local communities, and that is what I have been warning about for a long time. I do believe that this election is all about the preservation of the greatest democracy that this country has ever known.”
Indeed it is, and Trump is trying to preserve this country against a violent Marxist revolution supported by Democrats like Clyburn.
