White House: Trump Restored Order in America

“The streets of America didn’t spontaneously become peaceful last week,” Alyssa Farah, the White House’s top communications official, told Breitbart News on Monday. “It was a direct result of President Trump calling on Governors and Mayors to surge the National Guard in their states and restore law and order on America’s streets so that peaceful protestors could demonstrate safely.”

“Juxtapose Washington, D.C. two weekends ago, when there was widespread vandalism, property damage, and arson, with this past weekend – it was night and day,” she stated. “That is precisely because President Trump took decisive action to secure the streets of our Nation’s Capital and restore law and order.”

Before Trump overrode the mayor of Washington, DC, to bring active-duty troops and National Guard from other states into the nation’s capital last week, American cities were burning across the country. Widespread looting, property damage, arson, violence, and attacks on police officers and citizens dominated television broadcasts last weekend—a picture that was totally different than peaceful gatherings this weekend.

According to the Justice Department, from May 26 until the present, more than 700 law enforcement officers—local, state, and federal—have been injured on the job dealing with these protests, riots, and civil unrest. From May 29 until June 5, more than 150 federal government buildings were damaged nationwide according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Protective Services. Two weekends ago, 60 U.S. Secret Service officers were injured, as were 40 National Parks Service officers.
