That was a pathetic piece of nonsense without one iota of facts or data to support any of it. George Floyd has no opportunity because of premeditated, deliberate, transparent murder by members of the police force. What is your opinion of that fact?
Show me the evidence of premeditation and of racism in this specific case. He was murdered by a cop who used an excessive amount of force. I have not seen the evidence that this was a racial attack. Maybe the evidence is out there, but to date, I haven’t seen it. Yes, there is a history of systemic racism in our policing. But we are not living in the era of Jim Crow.
 
Guardsman Told Barr Protest Was Peaceful Before Violent Attack, Lawmaker Says | HuffPost

“The D.C. National Guard member spoke to Attorney General Barr, who was in charge, and explained that the crowd was peaceful — but troops from federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Prisons, remained,” said a statement Sunday from the delegate’s office.
Eleven Secret Service employees were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. CNN teams were on hand for much of the protests and witnessed protesters throwing objects at officers and pulling temporary fencing away from them.
More than 60 Secret Service officers and agents were injured near the White House this weekend

You are generalizing, let’s focus on that night.

William Barr ordered authorities to clear protesters near White House - CNNPolitics

Barr had been told that police believed protestors were gathering rocks to throw at law enforcement, and while he was in the park, water bottles were thrown in his direction, the official said. CNN did not witness any water bottles being thrown at the attorney general. Camera footage shows him standing and watching the crowd for several minutes, flanked by a security detail and two senior department officials.


According to multiple reporters who were on the ground documenting the events, the protests were entirely peaceful. “We didn’t see projectiles thrown at police. Certainly no bricks or ‘caustic liquids,’” Alexander Marquardt, a CNN reporter who was at Lafayette Square that evening, tweeted on Tuesday.

In fact, in this Reuters video taken of nearly the entire scene, there are no violent instances of what the Park Police statement describes (other than some expletives and insults lobbed at law enforcement).

Fact Check: McEnany makes false claim about Romney's share of black vote - CNNPolitics

"Mitt Romney can say three words outside on Pennsylvania Avenue, but I would note this: that President Trump won 8% of the black vote. Mitt Romney won 2% of the black vote," McEnany said.
She then pivoted to attacking Romney's past controversial comments, including his infamous 2012 campaign comment in which he said "47% of Americans will vote for the president no matter what" and that these people "are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them." McEnany claimed that Trump took "great offense to those words."




Trump did win 8% of the black vote in the 2016 presidential election, according to exit polls, but Romney won 6% of black voters, not 2%. Romney was running against the first black president.

Trump was asked about Romney's comments, and said, "I don't think he should be apologizing for anything,"
