Trump Reminds Minnesota Voters: “I Sent the National Guard to Save Minneapolis”

TRUMP SAVED Minneapolis from RIOTS

During his fervent plea for votes in St. Cloud, Minnesota, to aid him in winning the state during the 2020 rioting, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday night sounded a rare note of contempt in his voice.

 

“Every voter in Minnesota needs to know that when the violent mobs of anarchists and looters and Marxists came to burn down Minneapolis four years ago, remember me?” Trump told his campaign rally in a speech that aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform. “I couldn’t get your governor to act!”

 

“He’s supposed to call in the National Guard or the Army, and he didn’t do it. I couldn’t get your governor [to do it], so c – while Kamala Harris sided with the arsonists and rioters and raised money to bail out the criminals. Bail them all out of jail. Remember!”

 

After Harris posted a tweet on June 1, 2020, urging her followers to assist in rescuing rioters and criminals who would later return to the streets to conduct deadly crimes, Trump attacked Harris for it.

 

“Kamala urged her followers to donate to the so-called Minnesota Freedom Fund, helping raise $35 million to set loose violent offenders after they shot at police, looted stores, sexually assaulted innocent victims, and committed all sorts of other heinous crimes,” Trump stated.

According to Trump, Harris “was the original of the bad DAs,” supported under the guise of social justice.

 

“She was the original, the original of the bad prosecutors,” Trump said. “She blew them all away.”

 

“There are a lot of people that say she destroyed San Francisco. She will destroy our country.”

 

With some exaggeration, Trump brought up the 2020 summer riots and made fun of a notorious TV clip in which a reporter described the demonstration as “mostly peaceful” while a conflagration raged in the backdrop.

 

The narrative was then rewritten by Trump to cater to the raucous energy of his Saturday night audience.

 

Trump continued to make fun of Harris’ lack of enthusiasm for voting while feeding off the fervor of his audience.

 

During a recent Harris trip, “they said she had a massive crowd of 2,000 people,” stated Trump. “It wasn’t. Less than 1,000 people were there. However, they never discuss this.”

 

The St. Cloud arena could accommodate around 8,000 people in its seats, but to accommodate more people, the Trump rally stage was set up on the hockey rink’s floor with chairs and more seating.
