President Donald Trump threatened those who might topple federal monuments with a possible 10-year prison sentence Sunday morning, in an early Twitter thread.
The tweets echo the president’s executive order late last month, authorizing and encouraging federal law enforcement officials to seek the maximum penalty possible under the law for those protesters and rioters targeting monuments — a campaign that began with targeting monuments to key leaders of the Confederacy but has since expanded to include a number of the Founding Fathers, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
