US President Donald Trump invoked violent unrest in France as a warning to voters against electing Democrats in November’s midterm elections, speaking at a campaign rally in Kansas in support of Republican Senator Roger Marshall.
“When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France, just remember that is what the radical Democrats want to do to America,” Trump told the crowd in Park City on Monday.

Trump’s rally for Marshall came as the incumbent faces a competitive re-election contest against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton in traditionally Republican Kansas.
“I love you Kansas, but I’m here for a guy named Roger Marshall,” Trump said.
The president’s remarks were part of a broader effort to portray a Democratic victory as a threat to the country’s security and stability. He cited recent protests and violence in France as a warning of what he said could happen in the United States if Republicans lost the elections.
Protests in France over rising living costs and economic pressures have escalated into clashes, looting and other unrest in recent days. Trump blamed migrants, jihadists and left-wing groups for the violence, but offered no evidence in his remarks that Democrats wanted similar unrest in the United States.
