Trump mocks reporters who were roughed up by police during protests

The president, during a rally in Pennsylvania, recounted watching the demonstrations play out as he lamented that law enforcement had not been allowed to go in and break up the protests.

“Remember that beautiful sight? The street was a mess,” Trump said, describing Minneapolis. “That idiot reporter from CNN got hit on the knee with a can of tear gas, right? And he went down. ‘I’ve been hit. I’ve been hit.'”

“But he went down, and he didn’t like it. He was hit. ‘Police brutality,'” Trump shouted mockingly.
