The US President said that the media falsely claim mass protests in cities across the country over the death of another black man in police custody, George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. were peaceful and that tear gas was used against rioters.

Iran Press/ America: Trump retweeted the Federalist website article as saying, "The entire narrative the media glommed onto in lockstep was that Trump was a monster who tear-gassed peaceful protesters to do something meaningless. None of that was true."
