MATT SCHLAPP (CHAIRMAN, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION): These are not peaceful protesters. These are people that are trying to rip down statues, take over private property, and what do you tell the grandmother who was just on this show that these are peaceful protesters, as she has to deal with the death of her grandson? Look, President Eisenhower used federal resources to help Black kids integrate schools and to protect them. In these cities, the overwhelming number of victims are people of color, are young Black kids, and I think we need to use federal resources to make the murders, make the arson, make the violence stop. I agree, it's the mayor's responsibility. These socialist mayors, all of them, are simply failing the job and their people are at risk. And the president would be making politics out of it by just sitting around and trying to get the benefit of it. He's trying to solve the problem.
