CIVIL UNREST: “American warriors did not defeat fascism and oppression overseas only to watch our freedoms be trampled by violent mobs here at home. We stopped those violent mobs very easily. All they have to do is say, ‘Please, come in, Mr. President.’ We’ll have it done in one hour. ‘Please, come in.’
It’s one of the great — to me, just incredible that they don’t immediately. They just — as you know, Portland, the mayor last night, he was raided — his home was raided. He was thrown out of his home. And then he’ll stand up and he’ll fight for these people. These people only know one thing, and that’s strength. That’s all they know. Strength. And we have strength.”
