Governor Andrew Cuomo has come out to slam Donald Trump over his reaction to the George Floyd protesters. Earlier today Federal police in D.C. used tear gas, rubber bullets and mounted officers to disperse a peaceful protest outside the White House to make way for Trump to walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church, a house of worship used by American presidents for more than a century.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo Slams Donald Trump Over Response To George Floyd Protesters
A small fire was set at the historic church on Sunday evening due to the widespread unrest in the city. Trump who was joined by Attorney General Bill Barr for the visit, was later pictured holding a bible as he posed for a photo in front of St. John’s Church. The president threatened to send U.S. troops to disperse mobs across the country.
Reacting on Twitter, New York governor Andrew Cuomo condemned the president’s move to visit St. John’s Church after federal cops used tear gas to forcibly remove protesters to make way for him. He shared his thoughts on Twitter: ‘The president is calling out the American military against American citizens. He used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church. It’s all just a reality TV show for this president. Shameful.’ Photo Credit: Getty
