The Epoch Times @EpochTimes - White House Tears Down 44-Year-Old Protest Tent Over 'Communist Ties'
Law enforcement officials on Sept. 7 removed a blue tent outside the White House under the order of President Donald Trump, who alleged that the tent was linked to the “communist cause.”
The blue tent marks a 44-year-long protest against nuclear weaponry, started by activist William Thomas in 1981 on Lafayette Square. It plays some different national anthems, including very often the Chinese anthem.
“We got it down very quickly. It’s down,” Trump said in a speech at the Museum of the Bible, adding that the removal “wasn’t easy” and that “people chained themselves to a tree.”
“All the tents, somehow these people were very well connected with the communist cause.”
The dismantling of the tent comes amid the administration’s initiative to purge the capital of homeless encampments and fight crime. Federal forces have made over 2,000 arrests since taking over the D.C. policing last month in the effort to clean up the district, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Sept. 8.
“We had over 58 tent cities that we took down right in the middle of our parks, right next to our great building Supreme Court, you'd have a tent city right there,” Trump said.

Should they do it?
"It's a policy decision, and it's far too early, and premature, for me to weigh in on it at this point in time."
