President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for law and order in response to the violence and looting that have mired the streets of Philadelphia after a fatal police shooting of an African American man earlier this week.
“What I am witnessing is terrible and, frankly, the mayor or whoever it is that is allowing people to riot and loot and not stop them is also just a horrible thing,” Trump told reporters during a press conference in Las Vegas. “I saw the event, everybody did. It was on television. It was a terrible event.”
