President Trump ripped staffers and senior aides to Joe Biden’s campaign Monday morning; saying they were actively working to “get anarchists out of jail” during nationwide riots and looting in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.
“Sleepy Joe Biden’s people are so Radical Left that they are working to get the Anarchists out of jail, and probably more. Joe doesn’t know anything about it, he is clueless, but they will be the real power, not Joe. They will be calling the shots! Big tax increases for all, Plus!” posted Trump on Twitter.

We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us.

KERIK on HANNITY: George Floyd’s Arrest ‘Defies Logic, Common Sense, Training, Police Procedure’
Former Commissioner of the NYPD Bernie Kerik stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night to weigh-in on the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd; saying his arrest “defies logic, common sense, training, and police procedure.”
“I’m looking at this, you know how sensitive the neck area is, he’s not resisting, why would they keep their knee on his neck for six minutes or more?” asked Hannity.
“Nobody has the answer because it defies logic, common sense, training, and police procedures. There was no resistance… How did he get there? Why did he get there? The guys crying out that he can’t breath,” said Kerik. “This case, this is atrocious. This was an abusive use of force, it was a killing of someone who should not have died.”
