Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) fired back Saturday at President Trump's tweets threatening to handle protesters demonstrating in front of the White House with "vicious dogs" and the "most ominous weapons" if they breached the building's fence.
.........................
I thought the presidents remarks were gross. To make a reference to vicious dogs is no subtle reminder to African Americans of segregationists who let dogs out on innocent [people], Bowser said at a press conference Saturday.

These attacks are an attack on humanity. They are an attack on black Americans, and they make my city less safe, Bowser said.

Earlier Saturday, Trump accused Bowser of refusing to allow the citys police department to help the Secret Service during Friday's protest outside the White House. The Secret Service later confirmed that D.C. police officers were at the protest.
My police department will always protect D.C. and all who live and visit here. In fact, that's exactly what we did last night. Nobody needed to ask the Metropolitan Police to get involved because they already have, Bowser said Saturday, referring to the Districts municipal police force.

OMG. Trump lies and accuses Bowser of not allowing the DC police dept help with the crowd. But she corrected him--and so did the Secret Service. Trump just makes stuff up. damn

Or do it after he answers by simply stating, "that was not an answer, it was a lie and deflection."
I like dreaming.
