Newsome pointed out that he said: “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we’ll burn the system down and replace it.” It was a matter of interpretation whether he meant it figuratively or literally.
Newsome said the US was built on violence. “What was the American Revolution, what is our diplomacy around the world?” He asked. “We go in and blow up countries and we replace their leaders with leaders we like. So it’s extremely hypocritical for any American to accuse us of violence.” Trump wrote on Thursday: “Law and order!”
African-American Floyd was killed in a brutal police operation in Minneapolis on May 25. His death led to weeks of protests in which millions of people expressed solidarity with the “Black Lives Matter” movement. At the beginning of the protests in particular, they were overshadowed by riots and looting.
