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
