Donald Trump Claims Elderly Man Shoved By Police Was "Set Up"

Donald Trump has claimed that an incident in which an elderly man was pushed over by police could be a "set up". Two officers in Buffalo, New York were charged with assault after video footage showed them shoving 75-year-old Martin Gugino during a protest. The police department originally claimed that Gugino, who had to be hospitalised after hitting his head on the ground, "tripped and fell". In a tweet, Trump appeared to refer to a report by the right-wing One America News Network (OANN). Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 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? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2020 Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone joined us to discuss this and more in our weekly US slot.
