Trump Rips Black Lives Matter Protesters In Pittsburgh: 'Thugs!'
Michael Cohen Calls Trump 'A Con Man' In New Book
President Trump on Tuesday slammed a group of protesters after a video went viral this week showing demonstrators confronting diners eating outdoors at a restaurant in Pittsburgh.
“BLM Protesters horribly harass elderly Pittsburgh din- ers, scaring them with loud taunts while taking their food right off their plate. These An- archists, not protesters, are Biden voters, but he has no control and nothing to say. Disgraceful. Never seen any- thing like it. Thugs,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.
PRESIDENT TRUMP Trump also claimed that
“because of weak and pathetic Democrat leadership, this thuggery is happening in other Democrat run cities and states” and that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D- Calif.), “won’t even talk about it.”
Biden’s campaign has re- peatedly condemned violence amid ongoing nationwide protests calling for widespread police reforms and racial jus- tice. Demonstrators in the footage do not mention Biden.

"The reason the President wanted a new head prosecutor in the Southern District, I knew better than anyone, was so that while in office, he could arrange to be federally in-

"The reason behind that un- precedented and serpentine thinking was that Trump knows perfectly well that he is guilty of the same crimes that resulted in my conviction and incarceration."
