The media as normal is REPEATING THE LIE that tear-gas had been used. The Park Police had REPEATEDLY told the media that TEAR GAS WAS NOT USED! To reinforce this truth of the absence of tear gas, the Park Police Chief mentioned that police would have worn masks THEMSELVES if tear gas had been used!
Episcopal Budde was angry that she had been left out of the need to know info loop. She did acknowledge that this had not been a singular omission as her colleagues had not reported any prior notice of President Trumps visit to the St. John Cathedral burnt by terrorist the previous night!
Most importantly, Budde did support false and misleading statements through collaboration of false statements as well as her personal attacks against President Trump. Bishop Mariann Budde further demonstrated her lack of moral authority and leadership as her actions were simply an effort to further inflame discord and violence!!! Sadly, she must have just repeated hearsay as she must not have been present herself but learned on TV of President Trumps visit to the cathedral. Apparently, Budde had been SET-UP and used by the media because of her emotional temperament. Hopefully, her denomination will censor her behavior and re-appoint her to a less exacting appointment.
Yet, this does not exempt Budde from her responsibility as a Christian and/or bishop to speak truth not distortion! I guess she was angry that sadly she had missed her 15 minutes of fame with President Trump. Instead, Budde contributed to further spread deceit by her reporting untrue statements to the complicit FAKE NEWS media types: CNN Politico, CBS, NY Daily News, Wusa9, vox.com, PEOPLE.com, NY Times. The FAKE NEWS media was so triggered they typically reported the lie as fact without any investigation!
Factually, many of these peaceful protestors had not left this location as requested which led to crowd dispersal police actions. President continued to the area even with the sound of distant background police activity.
We the people are grateful that God has appointed Donald Trump to serve as President at this very difficult time in our national history.
Thanks for this information!
