Trump Making Up Sh*t .... Again!
"It's very sad when somebody called for a moment of silence for this maniac that killed the five police, you know you just see what's going on and it's a very, very sad situation and hopefully it can be healed," Trump said.
Shortly after the Fox News interview aired on the East Coast, Trump appeared at a rally in Westfield, Indiana, where he made a similar claim.
While referencing the shooting, Trump said "some people asked for a moment of silence for him. For the killer."
ABC News has reached out to Trump's campaign for clarification on the remarks.So far, ABC News has been able to find one person who posted on two of his social media accounts calling for a moment of silence.

Re: Trump Making Up Sh*t .... Again!
There seems to be absolutely no evidence of a Black Lives Matter activist, or any other activist, publicly calling for a moment of silence.
Trump seems to have made this up out of whole cloth. There seems to be no video that has surfaced, and news outlets are coming up empty.
Trump spokesman Sam "The Chin" Clovis
has come up empty as well. He was interviewed on by Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day and asked directly where Donald Trump saw the calls for a moment of silence.
CUOMO: But calling for a moment of silence?
CLOVIS: Well, it depends on the context, I guess, Chris. And frankly, I’ve had my nose buried in other issues. I’m not dodging your question.
CUOMO: Sam, you’re dodging it. You’re dodging it. You’re doing it artfully, but you’re dodging it. Context, my eye. Either you’ve seen they were calling for a moment of silence or you haven’t.
CLOVIS: I personally have not. I’ve seen moments where I’ve seen in some of these demonstrations, I’ve seen there’s a reverence paid to the shooter that is really startling. I think that is — when you have a person who purposefully and with intent murders five police officers, that’s terrible, and I don’t think you should celebrate that in any way shape or form.
