    If so, there should be an apology.

    In fact, the MSM could apologize along with Trump who continues to make his supporters believe he won the election.

    It would be like a grand reconciliation.

    What do you think?

    it most certainly was the reason, had it not been, Trump and his admin would of told us then

    "Park Police had the authority to clear the park, and decided to do so — in consultation with Barr"

    no matter what "excuse" they used, they did this horrible thing for Trump to get a photo op with a bible

    "... [Inspectors General] Greenblatt found that the Park Police had the authority to clear the park, and decided to do so — in consultation with Barr — hours before anyone knew Trump planned to make an appearance."

    this may be true, BUT, trump used this opportunity to get his bible photo op, which is sick

    gotta love the Trumppers spin on these things, wasn't Trump's fault, he just wanted a bible photo op and thought that was the perfect time for one

    the question to ask, is why did Trump choose that moment for a bible photo op.... cause he knew what was gonna happen to the protestors

    even if they were, the reason the Trump admin made the removal of the protestors so forceful, was Trump wanted his bible photo op

    in Trump's mind, as long as we need to remove them anyways, let's make a show of force and get a bible photo op at the same time

    Fake News.

    Yet Another Lying Fake News Media Tale — That Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op — Collapses.
    Government Report Undermines Biden’s Claim That Trump Had Protesters Tear-Gassed.

    “All their red-faced mea culpas about tear gas or anything else are meaningless until they say, ‘We regurgitated unconfirmed and ultimately false garbage. Not only because we wanted to believe it. But because we wanted to take him down. And it worked! In the end, we are the garbage.’

    ‘Do not trust us. We suck!’"

    How many times did T**** WALK off of the WH grounds in his 4 years?

    How many times were people forcibly removed from nearby property?

    And we're supposed to believe those 2 events are unrelated?

    Even if the chicken came before the egg, there's still a relationship there...

    It is odd to see a group of people that normally do not believe anything the government tells them to now all of a sudden not think twice about accepting what the government is telling them.

    If this was actually the case, why wasn't it brought forward as the reason for the clearing at the time? It was a huge issue last year - surely Trump or folks in his administration would have known about the fence installment - so why didn't they explain the situation?

    In other words, when faced with the facts, stick to the fake news narrative.

    Considering DC was burning, I think the contractor was advised to do it ASAP, but couldn't while violent protest were taking place in the area.

    I'm not part of that "group of people." I worked for the federal government for decades.

    It is the gullible that thinks it is total coincidence that Trump choose that time and that all those folks just happened to be standing around with nothing to do.

    But since you think Trump walks on water, there is surprise you fall into that group

    Apparently everyone has forgotten various cities on fire and federal building being attacked, seized and burned to the ground by violent protest. DC was no exception and the violent protest were creeping closer and closer to the White House.

    I going to stick to what my very own eyes saw.

    I will let you blindly believe whatever the government tells you, goodness knows you would never question a claim by the government
