He ignores the ongoing issues. He ignores the countless examples heavy-handed (sometimes plain cruel) police tactics that have been used all across America since this started. He doesn't understand that looting/burning/destuction during civil unrest is a symptom of societal breakdown, and that it isn't part of a plan and it "not making sense" absolutely does not mean that it isn't indicative of a massive systemic problem.

tl;dr he's confused because he doesn't personally understand what civil unrest is or why it happens, and he manages to rant about that for several minutes.
This.
He’s either completely clueless about the actual issues or he’s just completely ignoring them for some clout, I’m going with the latter, the same as that Candace Owens
