President Donald Trump called it the most beautiful thing that MSNBC journalist Ali Velshi was struck in the knee with a rubber bullet while he was covering a peaceful protest in Minneapolis in May.
Trump inexplicably deemed it law and order as a campaign rally crowd in Minnesota cheered him on Friday. Velshi was breaking no law nor were protesters when he was injured by police.
Trump mistakenly recounted in his tale that Velshi was painfully struck by a tear gas canister and complained afterward. Oh my knee, oh my knee, the president mocked.
Velshi was taken aback that Trump considered his injury law and order. He asked: What law did I break while covering an entirely peaceful (yes, entirely peaceful) march?
