Here's the outrageous OAN segment that led Trump to falsely smear a 75-year-old protester

protestor as an ‘Antifa provocateur’




Written by Alex Henderson June 9, 2020
Buffalo police have been widely criticized for a disturbing incident in which a 75-year-old George Floyd protestor, Martin Gugino, was violently shoved to the ground. And now — based on reporting by the right-wing cable news outlet One America News President Donald Trump — is smearing the man as an “Antifa provocateur.”

OANN or OAN prides itself on being more pro-Trump than Fox News, which Trump has criticized at times for not being consistently supportive of him. Here’s the segment the network aired on Gugino.

the Republicans want to blame everything on them. I doubt many Trump people know what a fascist is. I am
Anti fascist myself if you know history everyone should be.
