In May and June of 2020 Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors were rioting all over Washington DC, attempting to destroy statues, looting businesses and lighting fires. The Mayor of DC allowed the protestors space to destroy the city. The epicenter of the left-wing rioting and violence was Lafayette park, across the street from the White House.
Thus began a major controversial narrative in June of last year as the media and democrats decried how the U.S. Park Police cleared protestors from Lafayette Park shortly before President Trump walked to St. John’s church. The media shouted that President Trump told park police to fire tear gas into the crowd and dispurse the protesters in any manner or method. However the report today [pdf here] shows President Trump had nothing to do with it. It was all lies, all of it.
The DOJ Inspector General released a report reviewing all the events and found the decision to clear the park was made to clear the park of protestors several days before President Trump walked to St. Johns, and the White House had nothing to do with the decision.
From the Report: “The evidence we obtained did not support a finding that the USPP cleared the park to allow the President to survey the damage and walk to St. John’s Church. Instead, the evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow the contractor to safely install the antiscale fencing in response to destruction of property and injury to officers occurring on May 30 and 31.
Further, the evidence showed that the USPP did not know about the President’s potential movement until mid- to late afternoon on June 1—hours after it had begun developing its operational plan and the Fencing contractor had arrived in the park.” (report pdf)
It was all lies…
He's using the American military against the American people.
He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets.
For a photo.
For our children, for the very soul of our country, we must defeat him. But I mean it when I say this: we can only do it together. https://t.co/G1yE67q9Nz

WATCH the pure pain and disappoint as NBC's Ken Dilanian has to admit that the decision by Park Police to clear LaFayette Square of BLM protesters on June 1, 2020 was *NOT* so Trump could go to St. John's: "A narrative we thought we knew is not the reality." (1/) pic.twitter.com/KWtp4O5Aet

It got worse for CIA Ken as he has to relay the Interior Department IG report's findings that the BLM mob was violent: "There was some violence on the part of protesters in the days leading up to this. There was property destruction. 49 Park Police officers were injured." (2/2) pic.twitter.com/55AQpN0OtV

The advantage both these clowns have is that they were hired specifically because they are insufferably stupid, will repeat whatever script the Government Party hands them, and if confronted with contraindications they won’t ask any questions (because they are insufferably stupid, and wouldn’t know what to ask anyway).
Zman has a timely post today explaining this phenomenon…he’s talking about the pipeline hack, but it applies directly to this fake news story.

All the DOJ had to do was call me and ask me about the tear gas. I was glued to my big screen TV for days. I was appalled at what was happening. The night before I was certain those thugs and their handlers would breach the White House. I was terrified! I witnessed the entire clearing the park thing.
There was no tear gas.
I am losing my mind with all the “breaking news” these days. We all witnessed the past 18 months. We now have to re-litigate it, and hear from the MSM what “really happened” and the Wuhan lab, and all the other crap! It is absolutely so frustrating.
We are witnessing exactly how history -WHICH WE WITNESSED IN REAL TIME- is being explained to us as if we all didn’t just witness it, as if we just landed from outer space and ask “what’s been happening?”
I know I can’t be alone in this feeling.
I am with you. Sometimes I think I should add another layer of foil inside my hat.
Just kidding.
I agree the last 13 years have been pretty bizarre. Never in my lifetime did I think I would see what we are witnessing.
May we live in interesting times. A front row seat to history, to be sure.
What happened outside the White House for several days last summer was a lot more violent than what happened at the Capitol on January 6. The difference was that police didn’t allow people to enter the White House.
Did Trump’s Communication Team ever refute those lies? He was so ill served by all those around him.
I think you could count on Kayleigh McEnany to set people straight.
She regularly walked out of those press briefings with somebody’s manhood clutched in her talons, I mean fingernails.
The rest, not so much.
Those facts were already out there back then. We all heard it and knew it. But hatestream media didn’t give a sh** about the truth. They purposely ignored and hid the facts. “Orange man bad…blah blah blah” This vindication doesn’t make me feel better about the stolen election. All eyes on AZ…
everything MSM says is a lie,
Every. Single. Thing.
Yep. MSM has to be destroyed. I never watch them anymore. I don’t watch any programming on those channels. I want them all to go belly up. I hate liars and I hate Gubmint bureaucrats because they tell lies all the time. I am fed up with Gubmint. I want our Gubmint shrunk to less than 10% of its current size and I want the MSM leeches to lose their hosts.
They are the source of the “disinformation” they claim to be against.
Watching the Supercut is Disgusting (as in “these people are Disgusting”) the way the Fake News emotionally and with a melodramatic flair presented an enormous LIE.
In case you haven’t seen this incredible video of
Petra: This is so inspiring. It shows the essence of everything Trump stands for and is beautifully done.
It’s a Goodun! ;-D
President Trump sure has taken a lot of abuse for us and our country.
It is disgusting and infuriating.
So what? The media already convinced a lot of the nation that Trump planned the whole thing to tear gas defenseless peaceful demonstrators. Nobody will see this report. Unfortunately propaganda is effective.
Not only will the lying communists media ever acknowledge this…but notice how NO ONE from the Park Police came forward at the time and corrected the record.
That’s because everything in Washington DC was aligned against President Trump and his administration. This is all you need to know. NO ONE in government gives a damn about the truth and who they destroy for power or a promotion.
I hope this all comes back tenfold to everyone of the POS!!!
When “peaceful” (sic …) protesters are useful, they are protected and nothing is ever done against them. However, when they are not useful, they’re called an “insurrection” and they’re still being held in solitary confinement although never charged with any crime … as political prisoners. Welcome to Amerika, comrades.
That nighttime aerial picture is worth 1000 words. The media and political discussion of the January Capitol seemed to be rarely if ever compared and contrasted with the violent and threatening and destructive activity that went on by federal buildings and the White House perimeter half a year before. Still waiting for the big investigations and rounds ups of all those involved there, especially due to national security etc.
Statement from Donald J. Trump (gab):
Thank you to the Department of the Interior Inspector General for Completely and Totally exonerating me in the clearing of Lafayette Park!
As we have said all along, and it was backed up in today’s highly detailed and professionally written report, our fine Park Police made the decision to clear the park to allow a contractor to safely install antiscale fencing to protect from Antifa rioters, radical BLM protestors, and other violent demonstrators who are causing chaos and death to our cities. In this instance, they tried burning down the church the day before the clearing. Fortunately, we were there to stop the fire from spreading beyond the basement—and it was our great honor and privilege to do so. Again, thank you to the Inspector General!
Last night, ABC news said the protesters in the park were peaceful and only turned violent when the park was cleared. Those park police who were injured prior to the park clearing and the church burning, must have just imagined they were hurt by the Democrat scum protesters.
AG Bill Barr also told the truth. AG Barr said the tear gas and moving of the crowd had nothing to do with the walk to the church, and indeed the clearing of the park was decided the previous Friday with Park Police and Metropolitan Police, to begin implementation the following Monday.
The Park Police did not do their job, as both the President and AG Barr correctly said.
Recall, AG Barr was also being slimed by the Snake News.
“Barr says he didn’t give tactical order to clear Lafayette Park protesters”

President Trump was always praising Our Country and looking forward to an even better future (even in the face of the withering contempt directed at him during the entirety of his Presidency).
