1:40Now PlayingNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took issue with a tweet by President Donald Trump Tuesday in which the president claimed without evidence that a 75-year-old Buffalo, New York, protester who was seriously injured by police belonged to radical Antifa.
"There is no fact to any of it. He accuses this man of being associated with Antifa, no proof whatsoever," Cuomo said.
Trump's tweet advanced an unfounded conspiracy theory that the protester in Buffalo who was pushed down by police officers, tweeting without evidence that the confrontation may have been a "set up."
With his tweet, Trump attempted to cast doubt on video showing Buffalo police shoving the man, who fell backward and hit his head on the sidewalk. He was seen bleeding from his head as officers walk away.
Two Buffalo police officers have been charged with second-degree assault for the incident and could face prison sentences of up to seven years if convicted. They have pleaded not guilty.
