Mediaite reports:
Four days after the video first caught his attention, President Donald Trump is ratcheting up his attacks on a local news reporter who was verbally abused and stalked by anti-lockdown protesters in Long Island.
In a Monday morning tweet, the president again shared footage posted by News 12 Long Island’s Kevin Vesey — which showed demonstrators harassing him. And just as he did on Friday, the president voiced his support for the protesters.
“This love of Country went all over,” Trump wrote in admiration of the protesters. “They hate Fake News, and so do I!” The clip shared by Trump, one of several posted by Vesey, showed several demonstrators taunting him as he filmed the protest.
This love of Country went all over. They hate Fake News, and so do I! https://t.co/b4HM0C298h

The Obama Administration is turning out to be one of the most corrupt and incompetent in U.S. history. Remember, he and Sleepy Joe are the reasons I am in the White House!!!

Wow! The Front Page @washingtonpost Headline reads, “A BOOST IN TESTS, BUT LACK OF TAKERS.” We have done a great job on Ventilators, Testing, and everything else. Were left little by Obama. Over 11 million tests, and going up fast. More than all countries in the world, combined.
