CNN's Anderson Cooper calls out a number of Republican senators who dodged questions or were silent when pressed for reaction after President Donald Trump suggested without evidence that a 75-year-old man who was seriously injured after being shoved by police officers in Buffalo, New York, last week, may have been part of a "set up."
In an unsubstantiated claim, the President tweeted, "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?"
At a news conference following a Republican policy lunch, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky refused to say whether Trump's tweet was appropriate.
CNN pressed him twice, and he instead pointed to the work led by GOP Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina to try to put together a police reform package.
#Trump #CNN #News
I say we ‘dodge’ them at the polls this November.
@ed They will be utterly invisible on my ballot
@Joe Po what’s a libtard?
@Philly Beccio wasn’t it the same in N Dakota?
Donald tDUMP is a freaking BULLY AND VINDICTIVE. Donald tDUMP’s words will not hurt you BUT if you’re scared of Donald tDUMP, you will lose your right to exist as a human being.
Voting him out…This isn’t a Disney movie. (You ve got fascists in the Supreme Court. Seat for live ) We are talking about an extreme narcissist = psychopath here. Hasn’t he been clear enough yet? A narcissist exposed, under pressure brings out the worst in them. When going down they are ready to take everything and everybody down with them. Even more in need to show their power. You think you’ve seen crazy? Fasten your seatbelt. Narcissists thrive on provoking until their targets can’t take it anymore. When they finally explode they point the finger. Claiming they are the victim and you misbehave. Take it as an excuse to punnish you. Kicking while you are already down. They want you out of balance, emotional. Devided. Sadistic cowards. Compulsive liars. Gaslighting. Never wrong. Don’t know empathy, guilt nor shame. Really no heart. Sadistic, cruel powergame. Grandiose sense of self. This at the core of racism. His enablers made this possible. Plus the indifference of the ‘United’ States. Fertile ground for fascism.
It’s too easy to blame this mess on trump. Here respresents unwilling, arrogant, indifferent America. Your silence has been earth shattering. The whole world knows you never were the greatest country. It’s you just waking up to it. Insane.
I admire the patience of the people needing to educate white privileged people about empathy, like toddlers. See the resembles with bunkerboy? How ugly and what cruelty it creates not to listen to the pain, to respect it. That’s 401 yrs of oppression. Your Indigenous people are living in camps ffs! and America goes about their day. Shame on you. They stand up for your clean water, for values. Last in line to get support during a pandemic. Same as the black community.
Good to see peoples from all creeds together supporting BlackLivesMatter. I thank you. May we rise together. ✊🏿❤✊🏼. Europe is with you
McConnell’s face looks like it’s literally melting off his skull.
bob smith – bob smith, such an ordinary name! maybe change it to Boob Schmidt.
Connor Flanagan huh? Sorry don’t speak Trumpanzee.
@Ellen Peba PUTIN BOT MOST LIKELY FROM THE LANGUAGE OF THE TWEET
@Ellen Peba I found Jesus, and he told me, you’re an idiot!!
😂😂😂💀💀
I would die today with a smile if I could witness someone push trump over like that
If he fell down the stairs like Gerald Ford I am certain he would shatter like glass…
Excellent Joe your opinion has been noted, capped and uploaded thanks for playing commie.
@Connor Flanagan
he should be asking which way will he fall whan the bullet hits him.
Covid-16 has infected all the Republi-can’ts. Vaccine coming November. Vote!
and Dr Fauci needs to find ALL you LIBBTARDS a cure!
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT DON’T FORGET T👀VOTE FOR MR TRUMP2020 THE SMART THING TOO DO!!!!!😜😁🇺🇸
20 YEARS TREASON
20 YEARS OBSTRUCTION.. they’re waiting for you Trump
No worries, we got the cure!!..
What’s wrong with him?!” Know empathy!’ Ridicule everthing!!” ‘The elderman was pushed down!’ Hard enough that land’s him in the hospital!” Know compassion!”
He does not know those things
Yes, so pitiful. Whatever it is and what political ideal he is in, he is a senior person of 75 yes old and deserves love and respect. Your Police Brutality is atrocious to us in other parts of the world. No way near the very restraint and professional Police force in HK.
Worst if All, what did your Lunatic President tweeted? Most disgusting.
He wasn’t just pushed, but shoved backwards. Many people have died from this sort of shove.
“Sorry I left my spine in my other suit”
@Todd Hardman It’s reality. The Black Panthers, heroes all, in the 60’s excercise their 2nd Amendment rights and carry guns to the Capitol in use of that right. They get that right taken away by legislation. In Virginia groups did the same thing. Exactly the same thing. The vast majority of whom are white. They get called some stupid names by progressive fools.
In Illinois, in Chicago, the Mecca of Black activism, guns have been effectively outlawed and owning a gun takes the infringement procedure of having to buy and maintain a FOID Card. “Maintain” being the “operative” word. Firearms Owner Identification Card. The very definition of “infringment.” I am not Black. But I believe that Black Lives Matter even (and especialy) when it comes to the Second Amendment. This is about L I B E R T Y not just gun ownership. I stand on history and show your opinion of my username as absurd. In fact, those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Thom Hartmann springs quickly to mind as a propagandist that is very dark indeed. But pretends he is light. Of course.

lol good one
😂
LoLoLoL!
They all look like a child being caught stealing money from his grandmother’s wallet. Disgusting
No backbone.
Perfect description
😁😁
I really think Anderson needs to give up his job and give a black person a chance at his position. Why are all these positions taken by whites?
Ariel Shwartz they all look like gradeschool kids out there collecting March of dimes money and then going to the Local wars to get a shake and a burger and then tell the school that they didn’t collect anything except for the checks! Do you remember having your little milk carton going on collecting for March of Dimes as a kidI can’t tell you how many Catholic kids only came back with checks no cash and no change! This is what Mitch McConnell reminds me of! I took all of the cash up front but I only gave you the checks because they would’ve been documented!
As a serious technologist I can assure you that technology doesnt exist.
This shows how valuable being a senator is to the wallet. More than just the salary. Corruption payoffs grift
These GOP politicians are scared of Donald tDUMP who is a BULLY and a RASCAL.These GOP politicians have become Donald tDUMP’S LAPDOGS AND BROWN NOSERS.
So much for Serving your Country, when being a politician is a job things are bad
Rick Scott is a criminal !! Look at his prosecution.
These gop senators are scared of Donald tDUMP who is a BULLY and a RASCAL.If these gop senators are scared of Donald tDUMP THEY DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST AS A HUMAN BEING.
Pennywise mom I got out 7 years ago. Sorry you have to live there. 😔

@Louis Ramos thanks … That made me chortle 🖖
THEY WILL LOSE THE SENATE!!! THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE. ALL WE WANTED WERE WITNESSES DURING IMPEACHMENT!!!
We WANT decent humans in our government instead of cold-blooded, castrated fascists.
@Pensa Simpson EXACTLY
THIS is why everyone needs to VOTE BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD in November.
What exactly does Rick Scott do all day?? His answer to literally everything is ‘I didnt see it’….
He does nothing. Has never did anything for Florida either unless your rich.
Vote him out
He’s a Trumpet. He lies all day.
These are the same MF’s who blocked Donald tDUMP’S aka “bunker Don” from expulsion from the WH.
So sad for America (:
“Have you seen this hideous tweet?”
“Well, which one, there’s so many?”
Is the definition of racism updated in the USA?

Republicans go on about Jesus & flags but they all sold their souls for low taxes.
Jesus would be spinning in his grave.
” He is Risen.” …. Jesus is over these wicked Republicans…… They all will have the hottest place in Hell on judgement day…….
Conald to his easy marks: “Don’t believe what you see, just believe my lies”

Rachel Ash Thank you , you are right that what he always says 555
Bunch of cowards. They are the same age, I wonder if they would like if someone pushed them…
Oh you have an excellent point. And I think Trump is the biggest coward of them all. It’s easy to talk big with a keyboard and a barricade, while hiding in a bunker. He dishes it out and literally can’t take it. It’s comical, but mostly sad at how the majority of Republicans avoid the questions. Some of their “excuses” are so obviously idiotic. They continue to make themselves look like fools, and for what?
I really think Anderson needs to give up his job and give a black person a chance at his position. Why are all these positions taken by whites?
It’s getting close to the time that maybe we should push them 🛑🐂💩
@Cheryl Pounds “Bunker Boy Bone Spurs” or “TRIPLE B-S” is truly MENTALLY UNHINGED 🛑🐂💩
@D D must of missed don lemon. I forgot all the black anchors fox news has….ZERO.
I am APPALLED at the president’s response to a older citizen being assaulted.

Spineless cowards. Traitors by every measurable standard.
Get out and keep your mouth shut
