Finally The Truth Comes Out: No, President Trump Did Not Order the Park Service to Clear Out the "Protesters" With Tear Gas to Do a Photo Op

Remember when Trump crossed the street from the White House to the Episcopal Church that antifa and BLM "protesters" had lit afire?

And the media -- and NeverTrump Fellow Travelers -- claimed this was a Napoleon-like "whiff of grapeshot" and Seriously You Guys Fascism.

Get this -- they lied.

I shan't believe it. I simply shannot!


On June 1, 2020, President Trump walked out of the White House and across Lafayette Park to visit St. John's Episcopal Church. The historic building had been burned the night before in violent riots that erupted in Washington, D.C.

...

Almost immediately, the Democrat-Media complex sprung into action spinning a violent narrative that claimed President Trump and AG Barr had ordered authorities to violently clear Lafayette park so that Trump could visit the church for a "photo op."

According to a report from the Interior Department's Inspector General, the mainstream media jumped to false conclusions.

"The evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install antiscale fencing in response to destruction of Federal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31," reads an accompanying letter from Interior Department Inspector General Mark Lee Greenblatt. "Moreover, the evidence established that relevant USPP officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential Presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day."

And the real nail in the leftist narrative: "As such, we determined that the evidence did not support a finding that the USPP cleared the park on June 1, 2020, so that then President Trump could enter the park."

The Federalist's Margot Cleveland is 100% vindicated -- she wrote a week ago that it was DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, not President Trump, who ordered the gas.

The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed to The Federalist that the MPD deployed tear gas on June 1, 2020, in the area of 17th and H Streets in response to "assaultive actions."

The MPD's Deputy Director of the Office of Communications Kristen Metzger told The Federalist that the tear gas was one of the crowd control tools deployed after individuals began throwing multiple objects at MPD officers, including "an incendiary device attack that seriously burned and scarred the limb of an MPD officer."

I'm sure the apologies from the Establishment Neoliberal Corporatists will be flowing like their donors' paychecks.

From June 1, 2020:

Joe Biden @JoeBiden

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.
