Uprisings occurred across the nation this week in response to the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man in Minnesota, by police.

Numerous demonstrators protested in front of the White House last weekend as the anger at Floyd's murder reached a boiling point. Given the state of national unrest and the destruction in the capital city, the President reportedly took refuge in the White House bunker with the first lady and their son, out of fear for the protestors.


The mockery was swift, and in response to the coverage, White House sources said the President's dismay at the coverage is what led him to forcefully clear out peaceful protestors in order to take a photo in front of Saint John's Episcopal Church.

On Wednesday, in a Fox News radio interview with Brian Kilmeade, the President attempted to dismiss the coverage of him hiding in the bunker.

Listen below.

Responding to the coverage, Trump said:

"It was a false report...I went down during the day, and I was there for a tiny, little short period of time, and it was much more for an inspection. There was no problem during the day."

He continued to say that he only goes down to the bunker for an inspection and only during the day.

"There was never a problem. We never had a problem. Nobody ever came close to giving us a problem."

The President went on to say that he's been to the bunker "two and a half" times.

It may not come as a surprise to learn that people don't believe him.








Despite Trump's claims, the bunker infamy isn't going anywhere.



Yikes.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
