- President Donald Trump reposted a video of a journalist being hounded by anti-lockdown protesters in Long Island, New York, calling them “great people.”
- The video, posted by News 12 Long Island reporter Kevin Vesey, shows protestors angrily confronting him, asking him to leave and shouting: “You are the virus.”
- Vesey followed up on Twitter, saying he will “never forget what happened today” and that he felt was “insulted” and “berated.”
- The pro-Trump group who organized the rally later apologized for the incident on Facebook, saying that the angry protesters that confronted the journalist “are not members or affiliated” with them.
