Biden Campaign Spokesperson Calls Trump ‘a klansman’ For His Response To Violent Riots

Jamal Brown, former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign press secretary, took to Twitter Monday lambasting President Donald Trump for his response to the growing violence in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd. Forty-six-year-old Floyd lost his life after being aggressively pinned down by a Minneapolis police officer for more than 8 minutes as he gasped for air, fell unconscious, and then died.

In wake of the violence that followed Floyd’s death, the President held a joint conference call meeting with governors across the country early Monday. During the call, Trump reportedly criticized the state leaders for being “weak” against the violent rioters and pressured them to enforce the rule of law.

Brown referred to Trump’s call for governors to gain control as an action against ‘black people’ and likened Trump to a klansman, he wrote on Twitter.

“White supremacists have been inciting violence & burning buildings over the last few days under the guise of ‘protestors.’ Now @realDonaldTrump is calling on governors and law enforcement to take action against “protestors” – i.e. Black people. Say it plain: Trump is a Klansman,” Brown wrote.

A number of protests turned violent overnight including in the nation’s Capitol where a historic church was set ablaze and looters raided businesses across the city.

Videotapes from Jan. 6 Committee Witness Interviews Vanish

Videotapes containing witness interviews conducted by the Democrat-led January 6 congressional committee have disappeared. The chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), expressed his apprehension on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show.

According to Loudermilk, all videotapes of depositions have vanished, raising questions about the preservation of crucial evidence. He argued that, under House rules, these tapes qualified as congressional evidence, especially since some clips were aired during hearings. Loudermilk contended that the tapes should have been preserved by the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee and its chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).

Loudermilk’s revelation has broader implications, potentially impacting criminal trials in both state court in Georgia and federal court in Washington, where individuals, including former President Donald Trump, face charges related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Notably, Trump’s legal team had recently requested evidence from the Jan. 6 committee but was denied by a judge.

The situation takes a further twist as Loudermilk disclosed that the J6 committee had sent certain evidence, such as transcripts, to the Biden White House and the Homeland Security Department. Shockingly, these transcripts have now been returned to Loudermilk’s GOP-led subcommittee almost entirely redacted, preventing the disclosure of their contents.

The lack of records regarding witnesses, their statements, and the extensive redactions have raised concerns among House Republicans. Loudermilk emphasized that these documents belong to the House and should not have been sent in such a heavily redacted form. The chairman questioned the motives behind the redactions, asking why a Democrat-run House was allowed to have unredacted documents while a Republican committee’s efforts were obstructed. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6, 2021.
