ESCALATION

“Really, they’re terrorists in a sense,” the president said of the anti-racist protesters in a new Fox News town hall.

Eric Trump called Black Lives Matter protesters “animals.” His father prefers to call them “terrorists.” “Every night we’re going to get tougher and tougher. At some point there is going to be retribution because there has to be,” President Trump told Sean Hannity during a Fox News town hall event that will air Thursday night. Referring to demonstrators who have torn down or defaced statues and monuments, he added, “These people are vandals. But they’re agitators, but they’re really, they’re terrorists in a sense.”
