Trump Pushes Conspiracy That 75-Year-Old Man Hospitalized By Buffalo Police is 'ANTIFA Provocateur'

Trump Pushes Conspiracy That 75-Year-Old Man Hospitalized By Buffalo Police is 'ANTIFA Provocateur'
President Donald Trump advanced a conspiracy theory that the elderly man violently shoved to the ground by Buffalo police in a graphic viral video last week was an “ANTIFA agitator” who faked his fall after seeking to jam police equipment.


The president accused a 75 year-old man of being a member of Antifa who was sent out to scramble the signals of the Buffalo Police Department because OANN told him so and that's not the craziest thing he's gonna do today. Buckle up, y'all. - Corey Richardson

Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA.

Expect Long Voting Lines In Red States
Georgia's secretary of state and state House speaker on Tuesday called for investigations into voting delays in Atlanta and across Georgia on the day of the state's primary.
The announcement of the investigations came after a rocky start for the state's primary on Tuesday morning as voters, primarily in the populous Atlanta area, were met with long lines and delays.



Donald Trump came down harder on 75-year-old Martin Gugino for cracking his skull and bleeding from his ear after being shoved to the ground by cops in Buffalo than he did on Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman for slaughtering Jamal Khashoggi. - Andrea Junker

Trump Picks Fight With NFL, Again
President Donald Trump drew scorn on Monday after he apparently moved to reignite his feud with the NFL on whether athletes should be allowed to kneel during the national anthem.
As George Floyd protests gripped the nation last week with renewed calls for racial justice, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement last week admitting the league was wrong on how to deal with their athletes peacefully protesting police brutality.


Back in 2017, after John McCain had spoken out about Trump’s policies, I saw him before an Armed Services comm meeting and asked what it was going to take to get other Rs to speak out. He said “Claire, it’s gonna take his approval rating to get down to mid 30’s.” Today it’s 38. - Claire McCaskill

Trump calls improved jobs numbers 'great day' for George Floyd

Trump calls improved jobs numbers 'great day' for George Floyd
As he touted surprising new jobless numbers showing unemployment had improved in May despite getting worse as predicted, President Donald Trump on Friday said he hoped George Floyd was “looking down” from heaven “and saying, ‘This is a great thing happening for our country.’”



Trump is a sadist. He knew that comment would cause pain.


Suggesting a black man murdered by a white police officer is in heaven looking down approvingly on the work of a racist president who has been denouncing police brutality protesters as “thugs” and “terrorists” is some upper-level white supremacy, IMHO. - Rex Huppke

Committed voter fraud to vote for a fraud
Donald Trump has made unfounded accusations of widespread voter fraud a centerpiece of his presidency, as well as his reelection campaign. He claimed millions of people voted illegally in 2016, created an inept committee to investigate voter fraud, and now opposes mail-in voting, claiming it’s inherently fraudulent.
Now it appears that the president himself committed voter fraud.
