The Secret Service had to push back on a mob that had gathered in front of the White House today during escalating protests.
The demonstrations began after George Floyd was arrested and then died in police custody. Video of Mr. Floyd’s arrest showed a police officer with his knee on Floyd’s neck. The horrific video has enraged Americans who want justice for Mr. Floyd. The protests started peacefully and then escalated to something completely different. The media and Democrats have fueled the hate and division while Republicans have remained mostly silent. The leaders of the Democrat lead cities who did nothing to push back on the thugs have enabled the destruction of local businesses.
Today, the scene at the White House is a familiar one with mobs of mostly young people stirring up chaos like they did last night:
Insanity outside the White House. Three warnings of an unlawful assembly from the Secret Service before storming into the crowd.
A lot of people have been hit with paper spray. In all the chaos, at least one person was tossed to the ground and presumably arrested. pic.twitter.com/Ab2eSkq9CS

The Secret Service didn’t push into 17th. There was a second standoff here until they shouted something unintelligible which freaked the hell out of everyone and caused a stampede.
Most people took that as a sign to start moving. They’re heading to join another group. pic.twitter.com/RzIJiM80we

It’s going to be another long night.
