During the 2020 Summer of Love, a “mostly peaceful protest” forced The POTUS
During the 2020 Summer of Love, a “mostly peaceful protest” forced The POTUS to be taken to the underground bunker of the White House. The WH encouraged staffers to hide their credentials when arriving and leaving (probably to prevent them from being showered with love, from the loving protesters). Can we hold anyone accountable for inciting the protesters to trying and break through the metal barriers of the WH? 6 arrests were made during this insurrection.

As protesters gathered outside the White House Friday night in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump was briefly taken to the underground bunker for a period of time, according to a White House official and a law enforcement source.
A law enforcement source and another source familiar with the matter tell CNN that first lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, were also taken to the bunker.
Late Sunday night, the White House cautioned staffers who must go to work on Monday to hide their passes until they reach a Secret Service entry point and to hide them as they leave, according to an email which was viewed by CNN.
"I stand before you as a friend and ally to every American seeking justice and peace. And I stand before you in firm opposition to anyone exploiting this tragedy to loot, rob, attack and menace. Healing, not hatred, justice, not chaos, are the mission at hand,"
The decision to physically move the President came as protesters confronted Secret Service officers outside the White House for hours on Friday -- shouting, throwing water bottles and other objects at the line of officers, and attempting to break through the metal barriers.
At times, the crowd would remove the metal barriers and begin pushing up against the officers and their riot shields. The Secret Service continually replaced the barriers throughout the night as protesters wrestled them away.
Protesters pushed hard enough a few times that officers had to walk away with what appeared to be minor injuries. At one point, the agents responded to aggressive pushing and yelling by using pepper spray on the protesters.
Six arrests were made during the protests, the Secret Service confirmed in a statement Saturday afternoon.
