Elizabeth Warren: Trump Calling for 'Illegal, State-Sponsored Killing'

by

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Friday accused President Donald Trump of advocating for “illegal, state-sponsored killing” after the president threatened to use the National Guard to crack down on riots in Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

“Donald Trump is calling for violence against Black Americans,” Warren, who is under consideration as a possible running mate for Joe Biden, wrote on social media. “His advocacy of illegal, state-sponsored killing is horrific. Politicians who refuse to condemn it share responsibility for the consequences.”
