CNN's Abby Phillip contrasts Trump response to Capitol mob versus BLM protesters, calls it "shameful"
From CNN's Adrienne Vogt
CNNs Abby Phillip drew a contrast between the response of President Trump to pro-Trump rioters who breached the Capitol today and Black Lives Matter protesters during the summer.
A few months ago in Washington where we live and where we work you couldn't drive down the street without being stopped by National Guard vehicles, by law enforcement of every type and every stripe, Phillips said.
Every block of this city was in lockdown because of Black Lives Matter protesters. Now you have thousands of armed protesters who happen to all be Trump supporters, who are mostly not Black Lives Matter protesters; they're mostly white, and they're storming the Capitol with violence, someone has been shot, glasses being broken, lawmakers are in lockdown wearing gas masks, and looking at these pictures, where is law enforcement? she said.
