Jack Posobiec attends a rally about free speech outside the White House on June 25. Posobiec’s tweet linked to a story from an ABC affiliate and read, “Meanwhile: 39 shootings in Chicago this weekend, 9 deaths. Why is that?”Trump’s decision to spotlight Posobiec drew criticism, particularly in light of the weekend violence in Charlottesville. On Aug. 14, President Trump defended his response to the violence in Charlottesville where white nationalists and counterprotesters fought. He recently disrupted a New York production of “Julius Caesar,” which created a stir over its depiction of the title character, who resembles President Trump and is subject to a bloody slaying.
