Trump Defends The ‘patriots’ Of The Texas Buses After The President Of The Republican Party Says He Does Not Support Others To Harm Others

McDaniel’s comments contrast with the president’s. On Sunday, Trump tweeted about the FBI’s investigation into the matter and defended those who were allegedly involved.

“In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!” he wrote.

Later on Sunday, Trump spoke to a campaign rally at Opa-Locka, Florida, and again appeared to defend those who had harassed the Biden campaign bus in Texas.

“They had the thing with these, really, I’d say very good people,” Trump said. “They were riding along the highway, and you had Sleepy Joe’s bus. So they escorted the bus and the radical left said, ‘oh what a horrible thing.’ They don’t tell you about Antifa.”

At the same rally, Trump joked about fighting Biden, saying: “Of all the people in the world I could fight that’s probably the one I’d like to most fight. Those legs have gotten very thin.”
