Trump Says 75-Year-Old
Man Shoved by Cops Could
Be 'Antifa Provocateur' On Tuesday, President Donald Trump cited
One America News Network (OANN) in suggesting
that 75-year-old Martin Gugino, who was pushed
to the ground by Buffalo Police, was trying to "set up" the
officers who assaulted him. On Friday, the two officers involved in
the incident, Robert McCabe and Aaron
Torgalski, were suspended without pay. On Saturday, McCabe and
Torgalski were charged with
second-degree assault. They both pleaded not guilty
and were released without bail. Neither Trump nor OANN have offered evidence
to support their claims against Gugino, who
'The Buffalo News' calls a "longtime peace activist." When asked by 'USA Today' to comment on Tuesday
morning, Gugino replied via text, "No comment other
than Black lives matter. Just out of the ICU.
Should recover eventually. Thx.”
