In what seems to have become a running theme, the long-standing criticism that "Trump cleared protesters for a bible-op" turns out to have been fake news.

Quote
U.S. Park Police did not clear Lafayette Park and the nearby area of protesters on June 1, 2020, so President Donald Trump could walk from the White House over to St. John’s Church, but learned of his interest in surveying the site hours after they already had begun planning to clear the area to put up new fencing, according to a new watchdog report.


It is really shocking to see how many of these narratives have unraveled in real time. What is not shocking is that we have a media credibility crisis, and one that doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon.

of course it was #fakenews. the media and swamp demons decided long ago that their objectives supersede any objectivity. 85 million+ people are fine with this.

it was dumb optics by him either way. better to let the miserable anti-american net-negative to society forces destroy public/private property and look the part of a merciful leader while said forces destroy minority-owned business and neighborhoods in the name “of fixing racism”

It's been already exposed that the media is heavily left leaning and been for a long time.

I don't think 85 million people are fine with this. There are many who still want to believe we are living in a pre-Trump world, where the media, if biased, could be trusted to post mostly factual news.

Lol pure lies, i saw LIVE FOOTAGE of it happening.
This is the police trying to cover their own asses and keep public opinion low instead of dismally low.

"HerRr we beat up a pastor to put up a fence" no one believes that crap.

The secret service were some of the first instigators, they send the secret service out for fence erection detail?

Sounds like they're making up justification after the fact.

"We were thinking about putting up fencing before that. Yeah, that's why we cleared them right before his photo op."

Yeah lol

If this was the real story it would have been clarified right away.

I didn't even hear of the park polices involvement until this thread.

This is like when police say they arrested somebody for resisting arrest.

Not grounded in reality. Over the past year, public opinion of law enforcement has bounced back big time:

Also yes. Because tear gassing people to put up a fence is such a great explanation. Me an my fucking dumb questions.
