Hands of police who is now paralyzed in the hospital still. His father was on cnn earlier today, and hes said that his son is not only in pain but that hes also shackled to a hospital bed.

So were going to get back to the president s remarks in a moment but lets start with the march on washington. Many speakers, including members of the
A Great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally.

Reporter caravans of pickup trucks rolling into portland before they clashed with protesters and after a man who was identified as a supporter of a farright group was shot and killed.

Law and order seems to be pretty selective, as long as it doesnt apply to him and his supporters. And as long as it benefits him, politically. He opined that his visit to kenosha tomorrow might generate enthusiasm. Enthusiasm . For what, exactly . Yesterday, he had dozens of tweets and retweets cheering aggressive, and sometimes violent, counterprotestors in portland. He liked a sympathetic tweet about Kyle Rittenhouse, the alleged kenosha shooter. And of course, there was his convention speech, also painting a picture of a lawless america, that he is the president of. Tonight, it all came together from the Briefing Room podium in a highlypoliticized, factually dubious eruption. So here is an example of how President Trump and, especially candidate trump, sees law and order.

Slush fund for secretary of the treasury with no accountability whatsoever . Are you kidding . With all respect for the secretary, that was a complete nonstarter. Im pleased that language that was in the house bill and in the senate bill named the Inspector General specifically for that account, and a Congressional Panel of five people appointed by leaders to oversee how that funding is disbursed.
