Kellyanne Conway claims violence under Trump is not really on his 'watch'
Donald Trump has not just presided over racial violence — he's helped fuel it.
More recently, Trump has
encouraged armed mobs who tried to intimidate elected officials in Michigan to scale back coronavirus safety laws, calling them "very good people." He demanded in a May 1
tweet that Michigan's governor "See them, talk to them, make a deal."
As citizens around the country have protested in recent months against systemic racism, however, Trump has attacked peaceful protesters as "
thugs" and inflamed violence in
Portland, Oregon, and in
Washington, D.C., by sending in federal troops to control demonstrations.
Trump's racist attacks on minority groups don't just divide the nation; they actually increase hate crimes. A
2019 study found a 226% increase in hate crimes in counties where Trump held a 2016 campaign rally, compared to those where he did not. Trump
encouraged his supporters at those rallies to assault protesters and reporters, even offering to pay any resulting legal bills.
Also significantly, Trump's administration helped
contribute to the underlying problems of police violence and systemic racism. In a July 2017
speech, Trump told police officers in New York not to be "too nice" to suspects." And his Department of Justice
rolled back its use of consent decrees, which had previously been a major tool for the federal government to get help local police departments to address patterns of racism and
misconduct.
