Eleven Secret Service employees were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. CNN teams were on hand for much of the protests and witnessed protesters throwing objects at officers and pulling temporary fencing away from them.
More than 60 Secret Service officers and agents were injured near the White House this weekend
You are generalizing, let’s focus on that night.

William Barr ordered authorities to clear protesters near White House - CNNPolitics

Barr had been told that police believed protestors were gathering rocks to throw at law enforcement, and while he was in the park, water bottles were thrown in his direction, the official said. CNN did not witness any water bottles being thrown at the attorney general. Camera footage shows him standing and watching the crowd for several minutes, flanked by a security detail and two senior department officials.


According to multiple reporters who were on the ground documenting the events, the protests were entirely peaceful. “We didn’t see projectiles thrown at police. Certainly no bricks or ‘caustic liquids,’” Alexander Marquardt, a CNN reporter who was at Lafayette Square that evening, tweeted on Tuesday.

In fact, in this Reuters video taken of nearly the entire scene, there are no violent instances of what the Park Police statement describes (other than some expletives and insults lobbed at law enforcement).

Fact Check: McEnany makes false claim about Romney's share of black vote - CNNPolitics

"Mitt Romney can say three words outside on Pennsylvania Avenue, but I would note this: that President Trump won 8% of the black vote. Mitt Romney won 2% of the black vote," McEnany said.
She then pivoted to attacking Romney's past controversial comments, including his infamous 2012 campaign comment in which he said "47% of Americans will vote for the president no matter what" and that these people "are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them." McEnany claimed that Trump took "great offense to those words."




Trump did win 8% of the black vote in the 2016 presidential election, according to exit polls, but Romney won 6% of black voters, not 2%. Romney was running against the first black president.

Trump was asked about Romney's comments, and said, "I don't think he should be apologizing for anything,"

Oh mygezzz, now you are saying its ok to kneel for flag . If he wants to peacefully protest of black lives than go do it in the streets not on a football field during the national anthem. I didn’t even think you would go that low.

You are so obsessed with anti Trump. This has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact he was kneeling during the National anthem. Sorry you can’t put your little trump rant on it. Too many Americans fought for that flag and you can’t kneel.

It’s called the First Amendment. Try reading it. Black Americans aren’t responsible for your feelings and don’t need you telling them how to exercise their rights. If they were to pretend to be a band director would that be ok? And BunkerBoy attacks the First Amendment on a regular basis so deal with it.

The Colin Kaepernicks of this world are blind to the blood and sacrifices of those who came before us to gain freedom and rights for black Americans. It’s an insult to them, an insult to their sacrifices, and an insult to the true progress that America has made.

Humping the flag and acting like a drunken idiot during the National Anthem at the 3.4 million dollar taxpayer funded private super bowl party at Mar-a-Lago
This is what the flag humper had to say about taking the knee in a passive protest against racial and social injustices
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b---- off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” Trump famously told supporters during a 2017 rally in Huntsville, Ala."

Disrespectful?

Your nuts, yes I would like to have seen a nfl coach or owner take a guy off the field before a game if he was knelling for anthem. I’m sure there is a lot more people who feel the same. Sad that you don’t, instead make fun of someone holding flag. How many flags were on stage for Dems debates? Yep zero! The left has lost it.

Holding the flag?? More like hugging, kissing and fondling the flag likes its Stormy Daniels. That and acting like a fidgeting moronic fool during the playing of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl is behavior you think is respectful?
