Erdogan's goons beat up democratic protesters on American soil. Maybe the president could say something about this? (Something negative?)

As Twitchy told you, last night’s violent attack on protesters by Turkish President Erdoğan’s goons outside the Turkish Embassy in D.C. elicited a pretty lackluster response from the U.S. State Department. But their statement is still a lot better than the Turkish Embassy’s:

Those protesters’ skirts were too short!
Wow. That's not what we saw. Suits kicking protesters on the ground. Sad.

3 men viciously kicking 2 women who were lying on the ground does not count as self defense. Thugs.

@chrislhayes or in edited form— protesters said things we disliked so we kicked them in the head. That's just how we roll.

This is the way you talk when you're thugs with no concept whatsoever of freedom of expression. https://t.co/IYyvQoAfEu
