2020 ELECTION/ANTIFA/CIVIL UNREST: [Steve Doocy: “how do you feel about how we got to this point, where if you are re-elected there could be rioting and looting?”]
“Well, I tell you, I think it’s very sad and part of the reason is it’ll all be in Democrat cities, Democrat-run cities. It’s going to be in Chicago, New York, and Portland, and Oakland, and you know, different places, Baltimore. And that’s because of weak leadership and weak, weak leadership.
And, you know, my side is a very strong side if they wanted to, but they don’t like doing that. You know, they’re proud of our country, they don’t want to hurt our country. But, the other side is radicalized, Antifa, and frankly, if you let people know that there will be hell to pay, you wouldn’t have any problem, but they don’t do that, they have the cops stand back, stand back and watch looters walk washing machines and televisions out of stores.”
