“The Lincoln Memorial defaced. How does that make much sense? The place where the March on Washington began. That momentous occasion in the history of civil rights. That memorial was defaced last night. That doesn’t honor the legacy of George Floyd. It doesn’t. And certainly not the burning of St. John’s Church,” explained Secretary McEnany.
McEnany condemned violent anarchists and Antifa for taking advantage of people’s pain to cause destruction. She also called for Americans of all backgrounds to unite against further defacement of historical landmarks.
“Those are violent anarchists, Antifa, who are taking advantage of the pain of people, the pain of the peaceful protesters. It’s inexcusable and we have to stand as one America against the burning of the church and the defacement of the Lincoln Memorial.”
