Trump’s Biden conspiracy: he’s controlled by ‘people in dark shadows’
- Trump says ‘people you haven’t heard of’ controlling Democratic rival Joe Biden
- US president claimed investigation was under way into ‘thugs’ who threatened Republican convention
US President Donald Trump said Monday in an interview that a plane loaded with “thugs” was headed for the Republican National Convention last week “to do big damage”. He provided few details.
The convention concluded Thursday night with Trump’s nomination acceptance speech on the South Lawn of the White House, and he has complained frequently since then about protesters who accosted audience members as they left. Trump made the claim about the plane in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who asked him who he thought was controlling Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“People you’ve never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows,” Trump responded.
Ingraham said his response sounded like a conspiracy theory.
“No, people you haven’t heard of,” Trump continued. “We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear and this and that. They’re on a plane.”
Ingraham asked him where they were coming from.
