President Trump today accused the 75-year old Buffalo man who was knocked down by Buffalo police, struck his head on the sidewalk, and was left lying there with blood coming out of his ears as being an "antifa provocateur", saying it was a "false flag" meant to make the police look bad and that he "went down harder than he was pushed."
He got this wacky conspiracy theory from a report on OANN which was based entirely on an anonymous blog post on an extreme right-wing conspiracy site called Conservative Treehouse. The OANN "reporter" who reported the story also works for Sputnik, a Russian propaganda TV station.
Can't wait to see the MAGAts here leap to Trump's defense. |
