Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) blasted President Trump during the Democratic National Convention on Monday for his handling of the George Floyd protests in front of the White House.

“It was here that just weeks ago Americans donned face masks and safely and peacefully protested the death of George Floyd,” she said. “But while we were peacefully protesting, Donald Trump was plotting.”

“I knew if he did this to D.C., he would do it to your city or your town, and that’s when I said enough,” she added. “I said enough for every Black and brown American who has experienced injustice, enough for every American who believes in justice.”
