At a White House press briefing, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt addresses questions about planned protests against a military parade.

A reporter asks for clarification on what kind of protests President Trump would find acceptable, referencing his earlier warning that protests would be "met with force."

Leavitt states that the president "absolutely supports peaceful protests" and the First Amendment right of Americans to be heard. She clarifies that he does not support violence or assaults on law enforcement. She also contrasts this with Democrats, whom she accuses of allowing unrest and violence to continue.

When the reporter follows up to confirm that peaceful protests against the parade would be allowed, Leavitt replies, "Of course the President supports peaceful protests. What a stupid question."
