President Trump said Friday night he’s considering invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deal with violent street protesters after Black Lives Matter activists attacked and harassed his supporters leaving the White House after the Republican National Convention.

At his first post-convention campaign rally, Mr. Trump told supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire, that “thugs” outside the White House attacked Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and others after they left his acceptance speech on the South Lawn early Friday morning.

“They took tremendous abuse,” Mr. Trump said. “Rand Paul was in big trouble last night. He’s a friend of mine. They walk out and they get accosted and they get abused. They get spit on. It’s a disgrace.”

The president said Mr. Paul “would be in either very bad shape or dead … and that would include his wife” if D.C. police hadn’t intervened.

He blamed Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser for allowing the “anarchists” to get close to the White House and vowed, “We’re not going to allow that to happen.”

  1. Things are going to get worse. No matter how blacks are treated, they will always think that they are mistreated. How do they think that they should not be punished for the things of hatred that they do? How many blacks get killed by whites? Most are killed by other blacks. So why are whites punished by blacks? Punish your own for the killings of their own color. What was done of hatred to a republican was outrageous! You people need to grow up. Things do not always go the way we want them to. That does not mean we should burn down businesses and kill people. How do you feel after doing those things of hatred and jealousy. Do you realize that there are whites who are jealous of blacks because so many of you get so much more from the government than whites do? Maybe you ought to think about that. Who does the president talk more about? Blacks, Porto Ricans, Asians all get talked about more than whites. I have voiced my opinion. In words!!! Not in killings and burning down buildings and burning cars. I guess I am a bit more mature than you all are! You all had a black president for 2 terms. Let Mr. Trump continue to fix America the way he has been! Please vote for Mr. Trump!!!!!!!!!!
