Is Mattis hypocritical for rebuking Trump?

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis issued a scathing rebuke of President Trump’s handling of the fallout from the slaying of George Floyd in Minneapolis. But some have forgotten that Mattis left his position due to his stance on Syria: While Trump wanted troops to leave, Mattis wanted them to remain. Investigative journalist and “Boom Bust” co-host Ben Swann and “Watching the Hawks” co-host Tyrel Ventura discuss. A massive memorial service is being held in Minneapolis for George Floyd as the world continues to mourn the man whose death sparked a global movement against racism and police violence. Freelance journalist Ashlee Banks is in Minneapolis for a closer look. As protests against police brutality continue across the US, lines of armed guards have formed as a barrier around the property surrounding the White House in Washington, DC. But who are these guards, and what agency are they from? RT America’s Rachel Blevins has the story. The unfolding of mass protests demands further response from New York authorities, but it remains to be seen how they plan to combat property damage while respecting the rights of protestors. RT America’s Trinity Chavez has the story.
