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.

Should be a new slogan campaign: “What is he doing!?” Gov. Cuomo.
Goggle. Lmao.
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.
Like a police chief says, silence and inaction equals you’re complicit.
Mr X
He’s definitely one term, I don’t know if I would call him my president!!!

Ask the Trump organization they import and sell tea from China!
@Mars Tru
The vast majority of protests have been peaceful and you know it. Nobody condones the violence and looting and you know it.
@P Watson Trump 2020
@Winston Smith
Nobody gets re-elected with a 42% approval rating.
When you think things can’t get any more appallingly despicable.
Oh here’s something I found more despicable:

When has Jarod Kushner become an elected politician? Why is this pin head there?
Because that’s what pinheads do. they show up at fake events to make it look important.
Any Senator who supports the POTUS about this issue should get voted out of office!
Big thumbs up👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
a man, an old person at that has been assaulted and injured but there is no emphaty shown
Cause cops did it. If a black man did it he’d be calling for the death penalty…
“A lot of this just goes over my head” – Summary of the U.S. government.
Yeah. What part of that goes over anyone’s head? Seems pretty simple.
He needs to stand up so everything don’t go over his head
good one
OVER OUR HEADS when we DUCK
TIME FOR ACTION AMERICA 2020
Nope summary of trump presidency you mean
McConnell is such a coward. He’s harming the US so much that I hope KY people vote him out of the senate.
@Brandon Price I’d vote “yes” to that
The lifer’s all need to go!
@Brandon Price make 2 in case you miss…😃😃😃😃😃😃😂😂😂😂
Yes indeed. I agree. Big thumbs up👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
If you push a 70 something year old man who on Gods green earth think he’ll fall soft dam people are cruel 🤦🏻♂️
@Mars Tru what are you talking about? We dont watch fox news? What did trump say about that? Does his hypocrisy soothe you? ?
And who the hell would smash their head on concrete to set up someone? Risk vs reward?
@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.
those cops have signed their own death warrants…I hope some patriots and freedom fighters hunt them down and make them disappear
@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.
McConnell isn’t just afraid. He is a psychopath, he enjoys angering people.
He did start to sweat a little the second time he answered.
Mitch McConnell looks like someone who has to drink himself very drunk every night to be able to fall asleep.
@Jeff Swink dr. Chilton
He’s not Afraid at all! He’s a Psychopath! Smh
Moscow Mitch calls himself the
“Grim Reaper” 💀⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
All these politicians act like Children, not just DT.
I agree. How much are we paying these low-life invertebrates?
No one is more petulant than Donald Trump!👶🍼🤥
Name 2
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.
You already forgot about the Michael Brown riots?
All these Republican Senators remind me of Sergeant Shultz from Hogan’s Heros!
“I know nothing! I see nothing!”
Mitch really be looking more like a turtle by the day
1 2345 Why do you hate turtles so much?
Someone should crack his skull see how he lijes it.
yeah seriously…I would not vote for him just by the basis of how he looks and speaks…
Nah let him keep talking.He’s doing a great job killing himself.
lol……i hope he continues to talk like this all the way up to the elections. his poll numbers are dropping fast.
Tommy Gibz this is what I think sometimes… just let him keep talking. Hopefully he will bury himself
McConnell sounds like he has a mouthful of…💩
Sounds like… Looks like… Smells like…
Turkey neck McConnell needs a good punch in the nose!
Why are people still surprised by Trump’s tweets?
Somehow he always manages to top himself
The Secret Service needs to take the scared little bunker-boy’s tweeter phone away from him for his own safety.
Like someone would deliberately fall hard enuff to crack their skull.
Charles A. Carter especially at 75 years old
AND squirt blood out of there ears
It’s hard for a lot of people to remain upright from an assault like that.

Trump has no shame. – Bonnie Robinson
Trump and his cronies have to learn to get their lies in sync lol.
Never happen. Trump doesn’t cooperate. He dominates. Probably a wife-beater. Anyone seen bruises?
@Thomas Rogers
You think she lets him near her?
