Donald Trump’s latest effort to sway the election and appear like a “law-and-order” president is to label Democrat-run cities as supporting anarchy. Is that true?
This is Bethel, Ohio. Watch the Black Lives Protestor get assaulted as police stood by and watched.
This happened in Oregon. The “Proud Boys” (a right-wing hate group) assaulted several BLM supporters. Again, the police failed to prevent the assault, and then they quickly released the assailants shortly after the incident.
This is Kenosha, Wisconsin, where police aided armed vigilantes during the BLM protests before Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people, killing two.
