The Biden campaign is at it again. They must assume that the majority of voters are low-information voters, because they keep repeating lies that are easily debunked. One of the latest lies has to do with the events of June 2020 in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
On June 2nd, Breitbart<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n CLAIM: The Biden campaign is repeating a lie that former President Donald Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered outside of the White House in Lafayette Square for a photo-op.<\/strong><\/p>\n VERDICT: FALSE. This has been debunked countless times and has been proven false. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Interior released a report<\/a> in June 2021 that exonerated Trump from claims that he had tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered in Lafayette Square in June 2020 to walk through the park to have a photo-op at St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Biden campaign posted a video in a post<\/a> on X on Saturday night, claiming that \u201cfour years ago,\u201d on that date, \u201cTrump tear gassed peaceful protesters outside the White House.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n The inspector general\u2019s report<\/a> confirmed Trump\u2019s and former Attorney General William Barr\u2019s version of what had happened that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n Protests began in and around Lafayette Park on May 29, 2020. On May 30, the USPP [U.S. Park Police] and U.S. Secret Service established a unified command to coordinate the law enforcement response to the protests. From May 30 to 31, at least 49 USPP officers were injured while policing the protests, and Federal and private property was vandalized.<\/strong><\/p>\n On the morning of June 1, the Secret Service procured antiscale fencing to establish a more secure perimeter around Lafayette Park that was to be delivered and installed that same day. The USPP, in coordination with the Secret Service, determined that it was necessary to clear protesters from the area in and around the park to enable the contractor\u2019s employees to safely install the fence. The USPP planned to implement the operation as soon as the fencing materials and sufficient law enforcement officers arrived at the park. Six other law enforcement agencies assisted the USPP and the Secret Service in the operation to clear and secure areas near the park.<\/strong><\/p>\n The operation began at 6:23 p.m. and was completed by 6:50 p.m. Shorty thereafter, at 7:01 p.m., President Trump walked from the White House through Lafayette Park to St. John\u2019s Church. At 7:30 p.m., the contractor began assembling and installing the antiscale fence and completed the work by approximately 12:30 a.m. on June 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe did not obtain evidence suggesting that the USPP cleared Lafayette Park so the President could visit St. John\u2019s Church,\u201d the report continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n This lie has been used before:<\/p>\n In July 2020, Biden, the then-presumptive Democrat presidential candidate, had falsely<\/a> claimed Trump had held the Bible upside down.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Democratic National Convention claimed<\/a> in August 2020 that Trump had used tear gas on peaceful protesters \u201cacross from the White House.\u201d Bowser, who was being introduced as the speaker, repeated this false claim and failed to mention that St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church had been burned<\/a> and damaged from a fire the night before.<\/strong><\/p>\n During a debate in September 2020, Biden claimed<\/a> that Trump had cleared \u201cpeaceful protesters\u201d gathered in Lafayette Square to walk through for a photo-op.<\/strong><\/p>\n Most recently, Biden questioned<\/a> what Trump \u201cwould have done if black Americans had stormed the Capitol\u201d on January 6, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n Biden then referenced the debunked tear-gas claim, telling the audience that \u201cthis is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd\u2019s murder.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I really wish that we had a mainstream media that had some respect for the truth and would call out the continuing lies of the Biden campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Biden campaign is at it again.
