In a Tweet on Tuesday, President Donald Trump questioned the authenticity of a 75-year-protestors who was shoved by police in Buffalo, NY. 75-year-old man Martin Gugino was shoved by police officers and sustained serious injuries. Trump took to Twitter and suggested that "Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur," without evidence to back up his claim and added: "I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?"
