CNN’s Brian Stelter apologizes after falsely claiming St. John’s showed ‘no sign of smoke or fire’

CNN’s media pundit Brian Stelter apologized on Sunday after he was mocked for falsely claiming the historic St. John’s Church showed “no sign of smoke or fire” as it was shown ablaze live on television.

As authorities clashed with demonstrators in Washington, D.C. for the third straight night, the parish house connected to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church across the street from the White House was set on fire late Sunday — and the chaos was aired live on Fox News.

A reporter tweeted that the landmark was on fire and CNN’s Stelter – who has become known in recent years as the media's "hall monitor" – quickly responded, “What’s your source? Live video of St. John’s does not show obvious fire.”

And yet the democrats praise the violence, and decry police efforts to stop it.

So, why are democrats so excited about white nazis burning down black businesses and neighborhoods?

As terrible as this whole George Floyd tragedy is, from the Bureau of Justice Statistics we see in 2018 there were 549K black on white violent crimes in the USA and 59K white on black violent crimes.

This is almost a 10 to 1 ratio of more black on white violent crimes than white on black violent crimes. IT IS ALL BAD.

Placing our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, sharing His love and Gospel to others, and seeing people as Almighty God sees them made in His image and likeness - this is what is needed in our country.

An excellent book on this subject is, “The Third Option” by Myles McPherson.
