Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don’t want this to happen, and that’s what the expression put out last night means....

....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!

3. FUCKING LIAR!!

THERE WAS NO LOOTING IN LOUISVILLE. There were people shot at a rally, but he's trying to walk back his comment by using false equivalences, that I'm sure a lot of MORONS will buy into.
