Senate GOP dodges over Trump’s baseless Buffalo protester tweet

A number of Republican senators 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.

    1. He is resting in his bunker. Look how busy he has been: 2,000,000+ Confirmed Coronavirus Americans, 112,000+ dead Americans and 40,000,000+ unemployed Americans.

    1. @Mars Tru
      The vast majority of protests have been peaceful and you know it. Nobody condones the violence and looting and you know it.

  1. a man, an old person at that has been assaulted and injured but there is no emphaty shown

  2. McConnell is such a coward. He’s harming the US so much that I hope KY people vote him out of the senate.

    1. Don’t hold your breath because most them are no different from him. Also, ask your life when Kentucky in their history has ever been on the moral side of any national debate.

  3. If you push a 70 something year old man who on Gods green earth think he’ll fall soft dam people are cruel 🤦🏻‍♂️

    1. @Mars Tru what are you talking about? We dont watch fox news? What did trump say about that? Does his hypocrisy soothe you? ?

    2. @Mars Tru There’s no hypocrisy. That rioter is probably on the same team as the cop who shoved the elderly man. Just wear different “uniforms” is all. This is not about hating a group – and until people start thinking of others as individuals and not part of a labeled group, we surely will never have peace or justice.

    3. those cops have signed their own death warrants…I hope some patriots and freedom fighters hunt them down and make them disappear

    4. @ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Paranoid BunkerBoy – puts fencing all around the white house, hiding in a bunker, tweeting hate and chaos everywhere, taking breaks only to order pizza or McDonalds. Admiring himself in a mirror – quietly chanting I am the greatest, the best. No one has done more for America – I am wonderful. lol.

    1. Mitch McConnell looks like someone who has to drink himself very drunk every night to be able to fall asleep.

  4. Remember when Obama had to imprison himself in the White House? Neither do I. That elderly man is smart as hell to know to put a blood capsule in his ear.

  5. All these Republican Senators remind me of Sergeant Shultz from Hogan’s Heros!

    “I know nothing! I see nothing!”

    1. lol……i hope he continues to talk like this all the way up to the elections. his poll numbers are dropping fast.

    2. Tommy Gibz this is what I think sometimes… just let him keep talking. Hopefully he will bury himself

  6. The Secret Service needs to take the scared little bunker-boy’s tweeter phone away from him for his own safety.

    1. Never happen. Trump doesn’t cooperate. He dominates. Probably a wife-beater. Anyone seen bruises?
