While Obama Was Speaking at the DNC, What Was Happening Outside Was Far More Explosive

While President Obama gave a sunshine and roses speech at the DNC tonight, let’s just say that what happened outside wasn’t quite so pretty.

The president said his party had helped put the American Dream within reach for more Americans, promising an even brighter future if people vote for Hillary.

Obama even promised that no wall could contain that dream:

“Hillary knows we can insist on a lawful and orderly immigration system while still seeing striving students and their toiling parents as loving families, not criminals or rapists; families that came here for the same reasons our forebears came – to work, and study, and make a better life, in a place where we can talk and worship and love as we please. She knows their dream is quintessentially American, and the American Dream is something no wall will ever contain.”

Meanwhile, outside the DNC, the gate had been breached:

One even set herself on fire trying to put out the flames:

The chaos even took a violent turn:

And a racial turn:
