White House is defending Trump's Buffalo Demonstrator 's conspiracy tweet
The demonstrator Martin Gugino was shot by the police in a video-captured incident and brought charges against the officers involved when he approached them on a march against racism and the police's brutality.
That was one of several demonstrations following the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis on 25 May, after almost nine minutes of white policemen knelt on his back.
Trump tweeted on Tuesday without any evidence that the collapse of Gugino could be a "settlement" connected with the antifa anti-fascist movement. Trump and other Republicans tried to blame violence which, despite little evidence, had flared some antifa protests.
As for Gugino, the President of the Republic quoted a story by One America News Network on pro-Trump channell, which also gave no facts. The OANN research has been told by a Russian citizen who, according to the daily beast and the New York Times, worked for the Sputnik newsletter operated by the Kremlin.
And it's his prereogative, "white House Speaker Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News." It's just a few questions and some of them valid about that particular encounter.
Democrats and other attacks have hit Trump's Tweet to make excuses, although other Republicans in Congress and Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff of Trump, refused to comment.
According to media reports, Gugino 's lawyer called Trump 's comment "grim, dangerous and fake." Gugino told USA TODAY that he "was out of intensive care and had no thoughts other than Black Lives Matter" and that he would "eventually recover."
Aaron Torgalski, 39, and Robert McCabe, 32, are facing felonic attack accusations for this incident.
