Democrats Label Trump's Behavior During Protests as Cowardice

Democrats have described the behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump during the protests as cowardice. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement characterizing the use of tear gas to disperse protesters gathered near the White House in such a manner.

According to the Democrats, the United States needs real leadership during these challenging times.

Earlier, Trump had walked around the area of St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, which had been set on fire by vandals the day before.
