The White House denounced the latest outbreak of protest-related violence in Louisville, Kentucky, urging peaceful demonstrations and cautioning against rhetoric in the media that could fuel calls for “mob justice.”

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany made the remarks in a Sept. 24 press briefing, in which she addressed a range of issues, including clarifying that President Donald Trump “will accept the results of a free and fair election,” and criticizing Democrat actions that she said “sow chaos and discord,” like mulling impeachment as “punishment” for Trump intending to exercise his constitutional authority to nominate a Supreme Court justice.
