The President of the United States has weighed in on an incident in Buffalo last week that left a senior with a serious head injury.
A 75 year old man can be seen in a video being shoved by two police officers and then falling to the ground and bleeding from his ear.
The man was attending a rally last Thursday at Niagara Square calling for change following the death of George Floyd.
The protestor, Martin Gugino, remains in serious but stable condition in hospital.
On Tuesday morning, President Trump gave his opinion, alleging that Gugino “could be an ANTIFA provocateur” and stating “Could be a set up?”
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?
