Lol mixed messaging. You literally just condemned people protesting him coming to the US

Do you think we're this stupid?

Protests themselves often tend to be less popular than the causes they promote. Politically it can make sense to distance from a protest, but still align with a cause itself that is more popular

It's strange, but ultimately the cause itself is what matters here

This is the equivalent of condemning the police officer who killed George Floyd, but also condemning the George Floyd protests.

And the message is also equivalent:

Please murder more people, but do it more silently so we don't have to pretend to care.
