The White House says Donald Trump was raising 'legitimate' questions when he suggested a 75-year-old protester injured by police may have been 'an Antifa provocateur', while HBO removes Gone With the Wind from its streaming platform due to racism concerns.
The White House has said it was President Donald Trump's "prerogative" to raise questions about an incident in Buffalo that saw police injure a 75-year-old protester, after Mr Trump shared an unsubstantiated theory about the man.
"The President was just raising some questions, some legitimate ones, about that particular interaction," Ms McEnany said.Democrats and other critics have blasted Mr Trump over his tweet and urged him to apologise, while a lawyer for Mr Gugino called Mr Trump's statement "dark, dangerous, and untrue," according to media reports.
"Gone With The Wind is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society," an HBO Max spokesperson said in a statement. At one point police get the man to his feet with his hands appearing to be handcuffed behind him and he immediately falls or is pushed backward to the ground.
