Trump disputes report that FBI is investigating alleged harassment of Biden campaign bus, despite FBI statement saying so

Trump on Monday disputed a report that the FBI is investigating the alleged harassment of a Biden-Harris campaign bus by motorists in Texas displaying Trump 2020 flags — despite a public statement by the FBI that it is investigating.

“This story is FALSE,” Trump said in a tweet, in which he quoted a CNN report about the investigation.

In a statement Sunday afternoon, the FBI said, “FBI San Antonio is aware of the incident and investigating. No further information is available at this time.”

In his tweet, Trump continued to voice support for the motorists.

“They did nothing wrong,” he wrote. “But the ANTIFA Anarchists, Rioters a
nd Looters, who have caused so much harm and destruction in Democrat run cities, are being seriously looked at!”

he plays to his base 100% of the time. It's says more about them than him. He knows and says exactly what they want to hear.

If these freaks think the FBI will investigate wrong-doing, they'll stay home.

8. The saddest thing here is how well the Antifa smear has worked on middle America

Do White People even remember that the protests were about ending the Extrajudicial Summary Executions of Black People, and Systemic Racism at all levels of American society? Or did they just cover their ears until this lie gave them a reason to feel injured?

The destruction in Seattle or Portland, those notorious Anarchist Jurisdictions, was confined to a few square blocks, and mostly consisted of paint.

Yes, some protestors in Seattle shot each other for reasons tangential to BLM, but middle-class White America was never in any danger.

Yes, there was looting in some cities. But it wasn't BLM or Antifa, it was LOOTERS. Most of the looting in Seattle didn't even take place in Seattle; it was the Bellevue Mall that got hit by organized gangs. Try and tell me that Kemper Freeman or Nordstrom or Crate and Barrel don't have insurance.

Finally, there were NO "Antifa" invasions of small towns, despite the false rumors and armed paranoia of the rural rumor mill.
