Trump leaves for Jamestown anniversary — live stream
President Trump is headed to Jamestown, birthplace of representative government in America, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the First Representative Legislative Assembly in Williamsburg. His visit on Tuesday comes at a time when much of the political world is in outrage over his use of inflammatory rhetoric, namely his attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
In the wake of the public feud, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney resigned from the Jamestown Committee to protest the invitation to Mr. Trump, saying he “denigrates our democracy” and has no place at Tuesday’s commemoration ceremonies.
The area that includes Jamestown was also the birthplace of Native American pioneer Pocahontas, a name he regularly has used to describe Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
