A politician pledges to unite the country and lead for all Americans. A critic fires back, accusing them of spreading lies about police racism and systemic racism, and of supporting bailouts for rioters during the George Floyd protests.
I believe very strongly that the American people want a president who understands the importance of bringing us together, knowing we have so much more in common than what separates us. And I pledge to you to be a president for all Americans.
That was very difficult. That's what I said when I said— what I meant when I said to you it was difficult to watch. You talk about dividing Americans? You ran with the lie that cops are racist, that this country is systemically racist. You try to bail out people who rioted because of George Floyd's death, and you have the audacity to speak about not dividing Americans? Okay, now you know why I got upset watching this demagogue speak.
