That activist was not beaten, or he would be out front before now behind microphones with an attorney announcing a massive civil suit.
This is a bald faced lie.
Trump’s attendees would not beat someone.
If they actually had, Trump would not sanction it.
What he said was, “If he’s going to act like that, he might deserve it.”
That is not the same as saying I support them beating him, or I’m glad they beat him.
The media has a hard time separating fact from fiction these days.
They add in background that is totally false to buttress a new set of lies.
True, but this is the NY Times! What do you expect?
There is a video and at least one man punches him and a woman kicks him while he is on the ground. But he hit back and no one was arrested so I suppose that makes it more of an aggressive altercation than a beating.
You know how we know he wasn’t beaten by Trump supporters? Because the activist looked too Damm good afterwards! (Line from Dirty Harry)
