Barr: ‘Peaceful protesters do not throw explosives into federal courthouses’
(Worthy News) – Attorney General William Barr defended the federal government’s response to violent riots that have broken out across the country, pushing back against the narrative that the demonstrations have been peaceful.
“To state what should be obvious, peaceful protesters do not throw explosives into federal courthouses, tear down plywood with crowbars, or launch fecal matter at federal officers,” Barr said in his prepared opening remarks, which were released Monday night before his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. “Such acts are, in fact, federal crimes under statutes enacted by this Congress.”
The topic of violent riots in Portland, Oregon, was addressed frequently Tuesday, and at one point, Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler slammed both Barr and President Trump for their reaction to the violent riots that have broken out across the country. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
