PROTESTS: “[W]hat happened was terrible with, as you know, George Floyd. What happened there was terrible. We all — everybody acknowledges that. But what this has done to the world, what this has done to law and order. And when you look at St. Louis with two people that came out, they were going to be beat up badly if they were lucky, OK. If they were lucky. They were going to be beat up badly and the house was going to be totally ransacked and probably burned down like they tried to burn down churches.”
