As in NH last week, the Trump campaign is distributing signs that read “This is a Peaceful Protest” and “Peaceful Protester,” a nod to what they claim is a double standard where they’ve been criticized for flouting CDC & local guidelines while protests for racial justice have not pic.twitter.com/ZYNCTnO5oM
