[Federalist] U.S. Attorney General William Barr rebuked the false narrative perpetuated by legacy media Sunday that protestors cleared near the White House last week were gathering in peaceful demonstrations. On Monday, protestors were dispersed by park police by pepper balls as the city neared at 7 p.m. curfew by Barr’s orders moments before President Donald Trump walked across the street to observe the damage done to the historic St. John’s Church."They were not peaceful protestors," Barr said on CBS’ Face the Nation. "That’s one of the big lies that the media is—seems to be perpetuating at this point."
CBS’ Margaret Brennan pushed back citing several of the network’s reporters who were present.
"Three of my CBS colleagues were there. We talked to them," Brennan said. "They did not hear warnings."
