Esper Corrects Media

To show you the evidence, more evidence of how everything about Trump in the media is a lie. Mark Esper, secretary of defense, this morning at the Pentagon spoke about the protests around the country, and he blows up all the fake news that you’ve heard over the past two days.

ESPER: The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act.

RUSH: Okay, but we’ve been told that Trump wants to do it. He’s gonna send the military out there if he has to, and they’ve all been talking, “Trump’s a dictator! He’s gonna turn into a banana republic guy,” and he’s secretary of defense is saying, “No, no, no, no. It’s not being considered. We’re not gonna do it.” All morning they have saying the secretary of defense was unaware that he was gonna be walking to the church when Trump gragged him and said, “Hey, let’s go take a walk.”

They said the secretary of defense had no idea where he was going.

ESPER: I want to state very clearly for all to hear my account of what happened that Monday afternoon. I did know that following the president’s remarks on Monday evening that many of us were going to join Trump and review the damage in Lafayette Park and at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, you’re wrong! The media’s been saying. “You didn’t know where you were going! You were livid when you found out! You didn’t know he was gonna be carrying a Bible and that you were embarrassed, Secretary Esper. You wouldn’t have gone if you had known. You didn’t know!”

This is the media reporting, “He had no idea where he was going! Trump fooled to him. Trump lied to him.
