It's from the Washington 'Slimes' so it's a little left leaning.. :-)

President Trump said Friday night he’s considering invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deal with violent street protesters after Black Lives Matter activists attacked and harassed his supporters leaving the White House after the Republican National Convention.

At his first post-convention campaign rally, Mr. Trump told supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire, that “thugs” outside the White House attacked Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and others after they left his acceptance speech on the South Lawn early Friday morning.

“They took tremendous abuse,” Mr. Trump said. “Rand Paul was in big trouble last night. He’s a friend of mine. They walk out, and they get accosted, and they get abused. They get shoved, threatened and spit on. It’s a disgrace.”

The president said Mr. Paul “would be in either very bad shape or dead … and that would include his wife” if D.C. police hadn’t intervened.

He blamed Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser for allowing the “anarchists” to get close to the White House and vowed, “We’re not going to allow that to happen again.”

“Our country’s going to change,” the president said. “We’re not supposed to go in, unless we call it an ‘insurrection.’ But you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to have to look at it. [White House Chief of Staff] Mark Meadows is here. and we’re going to have to look at it, because we’re not going to let that happen to people that go in and out of the White House to celebrate our country.”

Mr. Paul and his wife were attacked by demonstrators and needed a police escort to leave the area. Activists shoved a police officer into Mr. Paul, a Kentucky Republican.

Mr. Trump said he’d like to give a medal to the officers who protected Mr. Paul and his wife, Kelley.
