白宮聲明,由白宮國安會議發言人Kirby謹慎表示: “We’ve long said everyone has the right to peacefully protest, in the United States and around the world.” “The president is not going to speak for protesters around the world,”
"We need to be braver! Am I breaking the law by holding flowers?" he asked the crowd, who shouted "No!" in reply. 有警察試圖攔住他,他便大喊「我們要更勇敢一點兒!難道我拿著花犯法了嗎?」,群眾中有人喊「沒有!」
"We Chinese need to be braver!" he said to the applause of the crowd. "So many of us were arrested yesterday. Are they without job or without family? We should not be afraid!" 「我們中國人得要更勇敢點兒,昨天我們很多同胞被抓了,難道他們沒有家庭、沒有工作嗎?我們不要害怕!」
