President Trump took to Twitter to comment on the viral video of the incident between protester Martin Gugino and two Buffalo police officers.

Those officers are facing assault charges after allegedly pushing Gugino, which caused him to fall backwards and suffer a serious head injury.

President Trump tweeted the following conspiracy theory on the incident:

“Buffalo protester shoved by police could be an Antifa provocateur,” the president Tweeted Tuesday morning. “75-year-old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?”

Gugino remains in the hospital as of Tuesday morning. A number of local leaders, including the Erie County district attorney, have dismissed these kinds of theories that have circulated on social media since the incident.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz responded to the president’s tweet, calling it fanning the flames of dissension.

The Washington Post reported Gugino is a member of the nonprofits Western New York Peace Center, and PUSH Buffalo. He is also involved with the Catholic Worker Movement, according to Jesuit priest James Martin.

Gugino’s lawyer released the following statement regarding the president’s tweet:

“Martin is out of ICU but still hospitalized and truly needs to rest. Martin has always been a PEACEFUL protestor because he cares about today’s society."

"He is also a typical Western New Yorker who loves his family. No one from law enforcement has even suggested anything otherwise so we are at a loss to understand why the President of the United States would make such dark, dangerous, and untrue accusations against him.”

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown responded, stating the city is focused on healing, and the two officers deserve due process.

Cuomo, who rarely addresses President Donald Trump’s tweets, highlighted his Tuesday morning tweet regarding the protester incident.

“There is no fact to any of it. You think the blood coming out of his head was staged?” Cuomo said angrily. "If he ever feels a moment of decency, he should apologize for that tweet. Show some decency, show some humanity."

Cuomo again urged for patience from the community saying that there is no “quick fix” for police reform. He said that this new policy and model for policing must establish a relationship of trust between the police and the community it serves.
