While some Republicans have condemned Donald Trump for spreading a conspiracy theory about a 75-year-old Buffalo protester injured by police officers last week, others have just decided to ignore it.
Trump pushed the idea on Tuesday that 75-year-old Martin Gugino staged the attack to make it seem like the Buffalo police officers were at blame.
A few GOP senators claim they don’t even want to look at Trump’s baseless.
The Week reported the following:
“Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) was asked about the tweet Tuesday, but said he hadn’t seen it and wasn’t planning to, saying he is instead focused on a bill he’s bringing to the Senate floor. His colleague, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), also claimed he hadn’t seen the tweet because he ‘only writes’ things on Twitter and doesn’t read what other people post. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) didn’t say whether he read the tweet, but admitted things like that ‘just goes over my head.'”
Of course, some of those remarks made by these Republicans are false.
Burgess has made it easy. He has the tweet printed for all senators to see. https://t.co/wXgLhsNdTL

Not, like the biggest thing in the world, but this Rubio answer is just ridiculous. He follows 2k plus people on twitter. He routinely RTs and comments above articles on twitter. He’s told people to DM him on twitter. https://t.co/y6qHabBfBS
