President Trump, for four
years we've had to live with you
and your racist attacks on black people.
We learned early about your sexist attitudes towards women.
We've had to endure clips of you
mocking a disabled man.
We've had to listen to your anti-democratic
attacks on journalists.
We've read your tweets slamming
private citizens
to the point of receiving death threats.
And now you're attacking democratic mayors and the very institutions
of democracy that have served this
nation well since its founding.
Do you seriously wonder, mr president,
why this is the first time in decades
that America has seen thi
level of violence?
It's you who have created the hate
in the division.
The tweets that he has been putting
out in the last 48 hours
attacking democratic mayors, attacking those
who are trying to
bring resolution to the violence
in their local communities.
He has an opportunity to uplift us
and bring us together
and help us move through this difficult
situation in our nation's history
and instead he chooses to play
petty politics and divide us.
That's my reaction, so I'm going to do
the work that I need to do here
in my local community with my local
officials to take accountability
for what's happening on our streets
and I'd appreciate that either
the president support us
or you stay the hell out of the way.
