Trump Addresses Jacob Blake Shooting: ‘It Was Not a Good Sight… I’m Looking Into It Very Strongly’

President Donald Trump publicly addressed the shooting of Jacob Blake in an interview in New Hampshire earlier tonight.

Following his Manchester rally, Trump was asked by WMUR to react to the police shooting of Blake in Kenosha and said, “I’m looking into it very strongly. I’ll be getting reports and I’ll certainly let you know pretty soon.”

“It was not a good sight,” he continued. “I didn’t like the sight of it, certainly. And I think most people would agree with that.”

Earlier in the day, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was asked on Fox News why Trump hadn’t publicly weighed in yet. He said the president “wants to make sure the facts are there” before opining.
