Erdoğan was at the White House to meet with President Trump to address our strained ties with the embattled nation. Given his country’s stance against Kurds, it was likely that Erdoğan would encounter protesters. But, his bodyguards don’t seem to understand that the First Amendment protects protesters and they can’t go kicking them in the head to shut them up.
Share this if you think the attackers should be locked up!
