Trump changes course after denouncing protesters

US President Donald Trump is doing a quick about-face about the protests that swept through Washington and around the world on Saturday.

 

Trump tweeted Sunday morning that "Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy." He then continued, "Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views."

 

That came less than two hours after he first denounced the protests, which drew more than 1 million people. He tweeted he was "under the impression that we just had an election!" and adds: "Why didn't these people vote?"
