(Daily Caller)—White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt scoffed at a reporter’s suggestion that President Donald Trump is against peaceful protests that are opposed to his agenda during Wednesday’s briefing.
Jasmine Wright, a politics reporter for NOTUS, asked Leavitt to “clarify” the types of protests that Trump supports after he warned that any protests at the upcoming military parade would be met with “very big force.” The press secretary said that Trump supports the First Amendment and peaceful protest.
“Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support or find acceptable?” Wright asked.
“The president absolutely supports peaceful protest, he supports the First Amendment, he supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard,” Leavitt said. “He does not support violence of any kind, he does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job. It is very clear to the president what he supports and what he does not. Unfortunately for Democrats, that line has not been made clear and they’ve allowed this unrest and this violence to continue and the president has had to step in.”
