“Stay the f— out of New York! … We don’t want you here! … We don’t want you here! … We don’t want your f—ing money!” yelled one demonstrator.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz weighed-in Wednesday on President Biden’s comments surrounding the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin; saying the Commander-in-Chief’s rhetoric could be “grounds for a mistrial.”
“I waited until the jury was sequestered and I called the Floyd Family,” said the President.
“I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict. I think it’s overwhelming, in my view. I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered, now that they can’t hear me say that,” he added.
