Hi there,
When armed militia members mobbed the Michigan Capitol to protest Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, Trump defended them -- saying, "These are very good people, but they are angry," and advising Whitmer to "give a little" -- telling her to "See them, talk to them, make a deal."
A month later, when protests began in Minneapolis over police brutality, Trump had this to say:
[A @realDonaldTrump tweet that reads "...These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!" A notice from Twitter above the tweet flags it for violating the website's rules on the glorification of violence.]

Trump swung from "see them, talk to them, make a deal" to "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." We're glad Twitter has called the president out for his vile glorification of violence, but we also need to hold Trump accountable for his toxic hypocrisy -- and to do it now, before more people get hurt.
Trump's tone on the two protests is clearly different. But why? Tell us your opinion:
Is Donald Trump a racist?
