Esper: Trump Asked About Shooting Protesters
He could order someone to stand in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn’t lose voters:
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the White House following the death of George Floyd: “Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?”
That seems like the kind of thing you’d save for a memoir rather than informing voters about it ahead of an election, huh, Mr. Esper?
