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)
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. (3/3)
