We are one nation, I do not expect Trump understand that: Congress member

"We are one nation, one nation in need of justice and healing, I don’t expect this “president” [Trump] to understand that," a US Congress member said.

Iran PressAmerica: "We are one nation. One nation in need of justice and healing. I don’t expect this “president” to understand that. But I do expect him to stop stoking the fires of racism and constrain his apparent zeal for bloodshed," Congressman and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff wrote on his page on Twitter.

"And if cannot, he can do the nation a service, and shut up," the congressman in a reaction to the recent riots in the US cities wrote on his page.

The death of George Floyd, an African-American man, occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. It has caused a lot of unrest in American cities.
