Late Night Knocks Down Trump’s Tweet About Buffalo Protester - The New York Times

Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.

‘Unfounding Father’

On Tuesday, President Trump posted a tweet about the Buffalo man who was seen being shoved by the police, and suggested that Martin Gugino, 75, was an “ANTIFA provocateur” interfering with police communications equipment.

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

“Oh, my god what’s wrong with you? You tweeted that? That’s not for Twitter — that kind of insanity clearly belongs on Facebook.” — SETH MEYERS

“Yeah, Trump is so desperate to defend the police that instead of admitting that maybe they used excessive force and that none of them helped a person who was bleeding out on the ground, he turns around and blames the old man from that video for being an antifa provocateur who busted his head open on purpose. And I mean, I can’t believe I have to say it, but that is some bat [expletive] crazy theory. Let me tell you something — if someone came up to me with a plan that involved busting my head open on the sidewalk, I would ask them to come up with a better plan.” — TREVOR NOAH

“I mean, how do you look at that video, see that old man, and think that he’s an antifa provocateur? You think that old man is causing chaos. Who sees that? Like, I feel like Trump is the kind of person who watched the movie ‘Up’ and he thinks it’s a story about an elderly terrorist who hijacks a balloon house.” — TREVOR NOAH

“Just to recap, the theory here is that a 75-year-old man was using his cellphone to scan police communication equipment in order to black it out. I feel like anyone who has tried to Zoom with their grandparents knows there’s no possible way that’s true. But our president — it takes a special kind of monster to see a peaceful 75-year-old man shoved to the ground by police so hard he bleeds from the ears and take the side of the concrete. But he does, our unfounding father.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Let me get this straight: This 75-year-old man is an anti-fascist, which you somehow consider suspicious. He was somehow able to fall harder than he was pushed, fake a fractured skull, and spontaneously bleed from his ears, all the while operating a secret scanning device in order to black out all police communication equipment. Man, those Jitterbug phones are getting really sophisticated. [imitating old man] ‘This big button is 911, and that one with the smiley face calls my grandson. Oh, and the red one down here with the hammer and sickle starts a populist revolution.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

The Punchiest Punchlines (Latest Polls Edition)

“The president is said to be so upset about recent polls that show him losing bigly to Joe Biden, he’s hired a consulting firm to challenge the results of the polls. And that’s a bad sign. If you think he won’t contest the election if he loses, he won’t even accept a meaningless poll he’s losing. They are going to have to drag him out of the White House by his heels.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“One poll has Joe Biden up by 14 points. So Sugar Daddy Vlady has a lot of work cut out for him.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“These polls are a tough reality to face, and like all reality, Trump is denying it.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“Ouch. Right now, the only thing lower than Trump’s approval rating is his underground bunker.” — JIMMY FALLON

“If Trump’s looking for someone to blame, he should check out his reflection in the riot shields, because that new poll also says that 61 percent disapprove of his handling of the protests. That’s not fair. He’s handling them just as well as he handles a bible.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

The Bits Worth Watching

The activists and organizers Patrisse Cullors, Josie Duffy Rice, Sam Sinyangwe, Mychal Denzel Smith and Alex S. Vitale joined Trevor Noah for a discussion on defunding the police on Tuesday night’s “The Daily Show.”
