McEnany pounds Acosta with facts on what really went down at Lafayette Square, he still can’t comprehend
|
[BIZPACREVIEW] White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany fact-checked CNN chief White House correspondent Ace Newshound Jim Acosta
 ...CNN's showboating White House correspondent...
this Wednesday after he spewed a blatant lie at her.
The lie was the fallacious and already debunked claim that the Trump administration had "gassed and pummeled protesters" prior to President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s "powerful" walk to St. John’s Church earlier this week.
To make matters worse, he spewed the lie while referencing deceased civil rights hero and legend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Kayleigh, you mentioned Dr. King. He likely would not have approved of what took place on Monday evening across from the White House as you probably know," Acosta said.
"If the White House president and his team had to do it all over again, would you have gassed and pummeled protesters to clear the park so the president could have a photo op?"
What actually happened was that, in response to "protesters" hurling projectiles at the authorities while demonstrating at Lafayette Square, the U.S. Park Police issued three warnings. After the "protesters" failed to heed them, the Park Police used smoke canisters and pepper balls to stop the attacks and move the "protesters" elsewhere.
All this happened before the president even began his reportedly spontaneous walk to St. John’s Church, which is located in Lafayette Square.
Moreover, according to McEnany, the USPP had been planning to relocate the "protesters" elsewhere since early that morning.
"First, I would note that these protests that were going on, in the morning, [Attorney General] Barr had determined that we needed to expand the perimeter by one block on each side," she tried to explain to Acosta, who’s known for his stubbornness.
"He was surprised, AG Barr, when he arrived at the White House, to see that that perimeter had not been moved. So, we said that we needed to get going with moving that perimeter. He told the officers that were out there. That was the late afternoon, so that decision was made in the morning, first of all."
The decision to relocate the perimeter was based on what had happened the night earlier, when so-called "protesters" tried to burn down St. John’s Church.
