Protesters Toppled Confederate Monument In D.C., Provoking Trump’s Fury

Protesters on Friday night toppled a statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike, the only outdoor Confederate memorial in the city. They yanked it down with rope and later set it ablaze as law enforcement looked on.

President Trump, however, made it clear that he was upset to see it fall. “The D.C. Police are not doing their job as they watch a statue be ripped down & burn,” he tweeted.

Trump also tagged the city’s mayor, Muriel Bowser, a Democrat with whom he has clashed repeatedly in recent weeks. “These people should be immediately arrested. A disgrace to our Country!”
