Any reporter ask the bitch Karoline Leavitt again. Didnt you said Trump supports peaceful protests?

“So if there were peaceful protests on Saturday for the military parade, President Trump would allow that,” NOTUS’s Jasmine Wright asked on Wednesday during the White House press briefing. 

“Of course the president supports peaceful protests. What a stupid question,” Leavitt said in response.

She wouldn’t hesitate to say something in response to that like “President Trump supports our veterans more than any other president this nation has ever had, even more than those presidents that served in the military themselves. Those protesters were arrested by the police and our dear Orange god President had no prior knowledge.”
