    Of course you will, you are that dishonest.

    I watched it happen live on TV, I do not need anyone to tell me what I saw.

    But you keep on being a good drone and never, ever, ever question your government.

    I wasn't asking about the media - I was asking about the Trump administration. Why didn't they correct the story at the time? The press secretary didn't know the REAL reason for the park being cleared????

    Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended the way that U.S. Park Police cleared protesters on Monday from the area near Lafayette Square Park in advance of Donald Trump’s visit to an historic church in the area.

    “I think the U.S. Park Service, with having bricks thrown at them and frozen water bottles, had the right to act. They acted with the appropriate level of force to protect themselves, and to protect the average citizenry, and to protect the peaceful protesters who were among them as well,” she told reporters at a press briefing on Wednesday.

    “And what they used was a way to target those that were being violent. They used the minimal force that they could to ensure that that situation was safe, to make sure that St. John’s Church would not burn for a second night in a row.”

    They did. The media went with the fake narrative.

    Actually, no, they didn't. See my post #57. Apparently the press secretary had no idea and defended the move for very different reasons...

    Translation: Nothing will shake your true belief in fake news. Facts need not apply.

    One more time to the slow readers, I am not basing a thing on what the media said, I am basing it on what I watched happen.

    Those are the only facts, the rest are just stories told by either the media or the .

    I trust my eyes, you trust the government. That is just one more difference between us.

    Hard to relate to people who are fine with being deceived. It doesn't bother you that the entire information-producing system of national media conveyed a false version of events for a whole year?

    I have trouble believing why the cops violently cleared the protesters away, and hust happen to forget to shoot some teargas at the dirtbag getting his photo's taken at the church.

    Indeed. Don't hold your breath.. the report says:
    Attorney General William Barr urged officials to speed up the clearing process once Trump had decided to walk through the area that evening.



    So it already was planned that Donald would be where the crowed was protesting. Barr objected.
    Enter the US secret Service starts beating away the protesters without any kind of warning,
    and they were helped by the bureau of prison guards, and it remains unknown why they were there in the first place.


    Well well....
    So it does say the protesters were beaten away for the sake Donald wanted to take a photo.
    It's a good thing we are not allowed to know when the protesters originally had to go if Donald didn't decided to show up.
    But it wouldn't have been at that time. That's for sure.


    Thanks

    The process that had already been planned it was not on Trump's orders or because of him.

    Not before. It was planned before anything about Trump. Just admit it was all more MSM/Dem fake news and you fell for it.

    Doesn't require a quid pro quo or recconcilation.

    So what? And no evidence it was hurried. And warnings, repeated warnings were issued.

    It was fake news just admit it.

    Have they pulled the previous fallacious reports and issued their apologies?

    It's just another item to add to the list of Leftist/Democratic lies that have been debunked.

    It had to be true! Because.... because... because.... Orange Man is bad!!!

    Sheepal... their brainwashing is real. It's kind of scary to see how infatuated they are with Trump and anything that they think hurts him. Hell, they would ignore treatments for CV-19 if it meant hurting Trump, even if 500,000 died.
