A member of the far-fight "Boogaloo" movement allegedly killed two cops during Oakland's post-Floyd riots. Three Boogaloo members allegedly infiltrated BLM protests in Las Vegas and tried to blow up a power station, according to the DOJ. Trump hasn't said a word about this. (1/3)
Meanwhile, Trump has his own version of reality. He claimed Antifa and far-left groups were responsible for 100% of the violence and told Americans not to "lay the blame on others." He also claimed, unprompted, that white supremacists weren't "mixing in" with the rioters. (2/3)— Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) June 16, 2020
The DOJ still hasn't charged any Antifa members, though Barr says there are several investigations underway. Surely, left-wing extremists are responsible for some, perhaps most, of the post-Floyd violence. But Trump exaggerates their role and fully ignores far-right groups.

One reason @realDonaldTrump is way down in the polls? Because we don’t want to die. We don’t believe our parents, spouse and children are expendable. Unlike the members of the Trump Administration, the overwhelming majority of the American people believe health comes first.

GOP Rep. Tom Rice, who announced today he and his family were diagnosed with covid-19 last week, wasn't wearing a mask on House floor when chamber was in session on May 28. I asked him why not, and he told me then: “I'm socially distancing. I'm staying six feet away from folks.”
Rice also said: “I do wear it sometimes on the floor. Asked about asymptomatic spread: “I make an effort to .. stay six feet away away from folks in accordance with guidelines. And when I'm forced into a situation where I can't do that -- like on a plane -- I do wear a mask."— Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 15, 2020
Rice was one of a decent amount of Republicans who weren’t wearing masks on the floor that day. While most on both sides were wearing masks, a group of them weren’t. Here’s what some of them said about it: https://t.co/CBGnz4FNna— Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 15, 2020
