You haven't seen it, but it's all on tv. Yet again, the President was not invited to the church, nor was anyone at the church informed. He decided to pull a pr stunt, and instead of doing so in the White House, sent a clear message by having police commit violence on peaceful protesters in order to clear the road for himself.
I wonder if you were a Turk, if you'd be going "I just don't see it, it's just a goddamn red carpet, I don't see any meaning in that shit, especially not at a time like this. You guys are being weird."
