‘Radical left will destroy American way of life’: Trump attacks Democrats over toppling statues of slave ownersworldUpdated: Oct 18, 2020, 06:03 ISTPresident Donald Trump escalated his criticism of the “radical left” over efforts to remove statues of historical figures linked to slavery during a rally in Michigan, after the state’s governor accused him of fomenting division following a plot to kidnap her. “This election will decide whether we preserve our magnificent heritage or whether we allow far left radicals to wipe it all away,” he said. Whitmer, a Democrat, blamed Trump for creating an environment that encourages radical criminal behavior. The president earlier this year issued a tweet urging citizens to “liberate” their states amid lockdowns to combat the coronavirus pandemic. “You got to get your governor to open up your state,” Trump said at the Muskegon rally.
