George Floyd protests: Republican Senators react to Trump’s tweet speculating that Buffalo protester could be ‘Antifa provocateur’

There was a mix of reactions from Republican Senators on Tuesday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweet speculating that an elderly protester in Buffalo who was pushed to the ground by police could be an “Antifa provocateur.” Sen. Mitt Romney called it a “shocking thing to say,” while Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would only comment on what Senate Republicans are doing to address racial disparities in law enforcement.
