‘Blatant Smear’: Trump Attacks Boston Anti-Racism Demonstrators as ‘Anti-Police Agitators’
“Again, this man attacks anti-Nazi protesters. He’s determined to create a culture war in America to distract from his unethical failures.”
After declaring during a press conference on Tuesday that there were many “very fine people” in attendance at the white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday to launch an attack on the thousands of anti-racist demonstrators in Boston, labeling them “anti-police agitators.”

This is what I hear:
“No Trump, No KKK, No Fascists, USA.”
“Whose streets?” “Our streets!”
“Hey, hey, ho ho, white supremacy’s got to go!”
“Love Trumps Hate!”
No one was opposing the police, except that Black Lives Matter wants authorities to stop killing black people. That still seems like a reasonable request to me.

Yes, Trump was misrepresenting the demonstrators, hoping police would agree with his whitewashing of white supremacists.

Monday night, Speaker Paul Ryan will appear on a CNN town hall.1 This is our chance to ask: what will he do to hold Trump accountable for supporting white supremacists and neo-Nazis?
Since the horrifying attack in Charlottesville, Speaker Ryan has condemned neo-Nazis–but just saying they’re bad, while the president defends them, is not enough.2 Trump has been stoking white supremacist violence since he started running for office and Republicans have only enabled his racist agenda. If Speaker Ryan is against the hate and violence we saw in Charlottesville, he must take action to stop Trump now.
The CNN town hall on Monday is a chance to make Speaker Ryan answer: after Charlottesville and the president’s horrific comments, what will he do to stop Trump? Can you tweet at CNN host Jake Tapper to make sure hard-hitting questions about white supremacy get asked at Monday’s townhall?
Here are some sample tweets to get you started:
