Pres. Trump says he’s an “ally of all peaceful protestors”

Pres. Trump says he’s an “ally of all peaceful protesters” as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protestors so he could have a photo-op at a church across the street from the White House. He also vowed to deploy the U.S. military if states can’t control the protests. Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer tells Anderson Cooper she was “shocked” when she heard the President threaten to deploy troops and that “we need a leader who can bring calm, who can bring unity, who can show compassion and competence that we need.” Plus, NBA legend and business leader Magic Johnson joins AC360 to react to the protests going on throughout the country.
