Last year the left was beside itself over claims that Trump had "peaceful protesters" in Lafayette Park cleared out of his path with tear gas, so he could do a photo op at a church. One poster here even likened it to the massacre of thousands of protesters in Tiananmen Square
The only problem is that it wasn't true. As an Inspector General report investigating concluded... well, in the words of CBS congressional correspondent Kris Van Cleave put it: "Tonight, vindication for the Trump administration."
The IG reported concluded, again as Van Cleave explained, that the clearing of the protestors was not "to make way for this presidential photo-op at St. John's church" but had been ordered hours before Trump decided to go over to the cathedral. At the time even CNN admitted that the plan to go over there was made in a spur of the moment decision and that the Secret Service didn't have time to prepare for it.
Slowly but surely fake news report after fake news report is being exposed.
