Trump Calls BLM Rep’s ‘Threat’ to ‘Burn Down System’ ‘Treason, Sedition, Insurrection’

President Trump has been watching closely as the nation burns so to speak. Since protests broke out of the killing of George Floyd, many of them turned into riots and protests, and some Antifa, BLM, and other activists have started tearing down historical monuments.

Recently it was reported that a leader of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ group, issued a statement that they will burn down this system and replace it if they don’t get what they want. President Trump has responded with hard words, and time will tell if his words turn into action. He tweeted:

“Black Lives Matter leader states, “If U.S. doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it”. This is Treason, Sedition, Insurrection!” See tweet below:

The Sun reported on the BLM words along with a Fox News interview of Hank Newsome who would not clarify if he meant physically or not.

Newsome was interviewed by Martha MacCallum, who asked him: “What exactly is it that you hope to achieve through violence?”

Newsom responded: “Wow. It’s interesting you would pose that question like that because this country was built on violence.”

“We’re talking about self-defence,” he added.

“We’re talking about four police officers choking someone to death, and someone from the community having the training to intervene effectively.

“We’re talking about saving lives, nobody is talking about ambushing police officers.

“We’re talking about protecting lives. There’s nothing more American about that.”
