Rob Smith: We do not win by destroying our communities
Turning Point USA spokesperson Rob Smith addresses violent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Turning Point USA spokesperson Rob Smith on Wednesday reacted to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., that prompted civil unrest.
“I am absolutely mortified by the video of that shooting. I want answers. I think that somebody definitely needs to be held accountable, but, I do not know or I do not think that these people should be destroying these communities and committing violence in this way,” Smith told "Fox & Friends."
Smith said that the uncle of Blake urged people not to protest violently.
“He said that he wants them to demand justice and they will get justice but it has to be done in a peaceful way,” Smith said.
