The White House on Wednesday sought to defend President Trump’s baseless claim that a 75-year-old man who was seen knocked to the ground by police in Buffalo, N.Y., last week during a protest over George Floyd’s death was a member of antifa and that the incident was “a set up.”“The president was raising questions based on a report that he saw,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning. “There are questions that need to be asked in every case.
The officers, Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski, were at first suspended without pay, prompting dozens of fellow officers to step down from Buffalo’s Emergency Response Team unit in protest. “Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur,” Trump tweeted Tuesday to his 81.9 million Twitter followers. “75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?”“No one from law enforcement has even suggested anything otherwise,” Kelly Zarcone said in a statement.
When pressed by reporters why he would float such an idea, Trump said, “A lot of people suggest that and hopefully someday people are going to find out.”
wyndsayl Trump is like my Auntie who uses facebook, reads all sorts of crazy articles and take it as news. Baby boomers + Facebook = the spreading of both far right and far left fake news.
I would like someone to explain the guy’s hand motions. They were quite deliberate, whatever he was doing.
No he was NOT. He was spreading Kremlin propaganda announced by an OANN reporter who is known to be a russian propagandist and I believe worked for Sputnik. Did he have one of his 'unofficial' calls with Putin that morning?
Clean up aisle 1600
Mmm ok not buying it
