Fox News
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Biden believes "protests must be peaceful" in response to Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., calling for demonstrators to ramp up their actions in the event that Derek Chauvin is acquitted of murder for the death of George Floyd.
"His view is … that exercising First Amendment rights and protesting injustice is the most American thing that anyone can do," Psaki said during Monday’s press briefing. "But as he also always says, protests must be peaceful, that’s what he continues to call for and what he continues to believe is the right way to approach responding." Republicans condemned Waters for her remarks.More Related News
