U.S. Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote a histrionic resignation letter to then-President Donald Trump after federal officials cleared rioters out of Lafayette Square back in the summer of 2020.
Then-Attorney General William Barr <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ag-barr-protesters-in-d-c-were-not-peaceful-hundreds-of-officers-injured-media-promoting-big-lies">dismissed</a> claims by the mainstream media that those in Lafayette Park were &#8220;peaceful protesters.&#8221; Barr noted that the rioters repeatedly assaulted police by throwing bricks and flammable liquids at the officers.
&#8220;There were fires set in not only St. John’s Church, but a historic building at Lafayette was burned down,&#8221; Barr said. &#8220;They broke into the Treasury Department … and they were injuring police.”
Barr further noted that what the media was missing about the incident was that &#8220;this was not an operation to respond to that particular crowd, it was an operation to move the perimeter one block.&#8221;
A year later, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-wins-federal-judge-tosses-most-of-blms-claims-against-president-bill-barr-us-officials-over-lafayette-park-incident">dismissed</a> a number of claims leveled at Trump, Barr, and other U.S. government officials over what Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Liberties Union claimed was an unnecessary show of force in Lafayette Square.
A <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/inside-the-war-between-trump-and-his-generals">report</a> in the New Yorker this week included the self-aggrandizing resignation that Milley, a controversial military figure who has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gen-mark-milley-compared-trump-supporters-to-nazis-these-are-the-same-people-we-fought-in-world-war-ii">demonized</a> Trump supporters, wrote in wake of the event.
Milley&#8217;s resignation letter, which he never submitted, reportedly stated:
<blockquote>I regret to inform you that I intend to resign as your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thank you for the honor of appointing me as senior ranking officer. The events of the last couple weeks have caused me to do deep soul-searching, and I can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military. I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realization that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.
Second, you are using the military to create fear in the minds of the people—and we are trying to protect the American people. I cannot stand idly by and participate in that attack, verbally or otherwise, on the American people. The American people trust their military and they trust us to protect them against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and our military will do just that. We will not turn our back on the American people.
Third, I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States and embodied within that Constitution is the idea that says that all men and women are created equal. All men and women are created equal, no matter who you are, whether you are white or Black, Asian, Indian, no matter the color of your skin, no matter if you’re gay, straight or something in between. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, or choose not to believe. None of that matters. It doesn’t matter what country you came from, what your last name is—what matters is we’re Americans. We’re all Americans. That under these colors of red, white, and blue—the colors that my parents fought for in World War II—means something around the world. It’s obvious to me that you don’t think of those colors the same way I do. It’s obvious to me that you don’t hold those values dear and the cause that I serve.
And lastly it is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945. Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war. They were slaughtered because of tyrannies and dictatorships. That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism. It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order. You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against. And I cannot be a party to that. It is with deep regret that I hereby submit my letter of resignation.</blockquote>

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who continuously accuses Fox News of promoting “misinformation,” repeated three widely discredited stories about former President Donald Trump during a single, 13-minute segment of Tuesday’s “Deadline: White House” — two of them within one minute of each other. One of the stories directly contradicted video footage she had just shown.
Claim #1: Lafayette Square redux
Wallace devoted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybxddn3dk4I">full segment</a> to criticizing the Trump family for its alleged disdain of the Bible. “Hyper-masculine, real men,” she said, “show their faith by gassing protesters in Lafayette Square in order to — for the sole purpose of — being able to hoist a Bible above Trump’s head as a photo prop, upside-down I believe, in front of St. John’s church.” (Emphasis in original.)
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Deadline WhiteHouse| The former president&#039;s son told a crowd that Jesus&#039; teachings &quot;didn&#039;t help us&quot;" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ybxddn3dk4I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Last June 1, President Trump visited the St. John’s Episcopal Church, often called “the church of presidents,” which rioters set fire to during arson-tinged unrest. Although the legacy media — and <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1267634400080117761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1267634400080117761%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Finspector-general-debunks-claims-made-by-biden-harris-left-wing-media-against-trump">candidate Joe Biden</a> — accused the president of ordering the U.S. Park Police to spray people with tear gas in order to stage a “photo op,” an official government report released under the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inspector-general-debunks-claims-made-by-biden-harris-left-wing-media-against-trump">cleared</a> Trump of those charges.
“The evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install antiscale fencing in response to destruction of [f]ederal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31,” the <a href="https://doioig.opengov.ibmcloud.com/sites/doioig.gov/files/Final%20Statement_0.pdf">report</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inspector-general-debunks-claims-made-by-biden-harris-left-wing-media-against-trump">said</a>. USPP officials “made those decisions” and began clearing the area “several hours before they knew of a potential [p]residential visit to the park, which occurred later that day.”
Claim #2: Trump said ‘The Art of the Deal’ is better than the Bible
That lie came less than 60 seconds after Wallace played a clip of an interview with then-candidate Trump saying he would not name his favorite Bible passage, because his faith was “very personal.”
“The Bible clearly is so special to Donald Trump that in that moment, he couldn’t think of a single passage that he liked, and it was second only to The Art of the Deal,” Wallace said, citing the president’s book.
But in the video she had just played, the future president told Bloomberg News that he considered the Bible his favorite book, not his own bestseller. When people at his campaign rallies “hold up The Art of the Deal, I say, ‘My second favorite book of all time.’ But I just think the Bible is just something very special,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/briantashman/status/1267599254325014531">said</a>.
“The whole Bible is incredible,” he said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Claim #3: Trump called people who serve in the military “losers”
Later in the segment, Wallace repeated another long-discredited, anti-Trump canard: that Donald Trump refused to visit a military cemetery and called fallen U.S. soldiers “losers.”
Wallace said Trump&#8217;s alleged hostility to the Bible sounded like “a direct echo” of “an earlier Atlantic [magazine] piece about Donald Trump calling those who served our country in the military suckers. … He had horrible things to say about anyone who had been injured or lost their life serving this country. So if you serve your country, you’re a sucker. If you read and adhere to the teachings of the Bible, you’re a sucker.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&quot;That stoking of anger is so deliberate&#8230; Anger is a very powerful force in politics. I went to Trump rallies often during the campaigns in 2016 and 2020, and there&#39;s a deliberate stoking of anger&#8230;&quot; &#8211; <a href="https://twitter.com/KattyKay_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KattyKay_</a> w/ <a href="https://twitter.com/NicolleDWallace?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NicolleDWallace</a> <a href="https://t.co/djaxbyMQ7w">pic.twitter.com/djaxbyMQ7w</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
An article published in The Atlantic in September 2020 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anonymous-sources-tell-mag-trump-called-dead-troops-losers-5-witnesses-go-on-record-to-dispute">asserted</a> that President Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris “because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead.” It went on to cite anonymous sources who claimed President Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”
But no fewer than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/10-witnesses-go-on-the-record-stating-atlantic-report-on-trump-denigrating-troops-is-a-lie-2">10 people</a> — including former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-bolton-already-debunked-key-claim-in-atlantic-report-on-trumps-alleged-comments-on-dead-soldiers">National Security Adviser John Bolton</a>, who became an indefatigable Trump foe — went on the record to say The Atlantic’s story wasn&#8217;t true. “It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do. I never heard he made that kind of comment about another country’s forces either, no,” said Bolton.
Former presidential counselor Johnny DeStefano said plainly, “I was on this trip. The Atlantic bit is not true. Period.” Former acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Trump “was outwardly in awe of the accomplishments of the Allied Forces, and the sacrifices they paid,” as he surveyed the battlefield on the 75thanniversary of D-Day.

Wallace has repeatedly accused Fox News and other conservative news outlets of spreading “misinformation.”
Last January, Wallace — a former campaign strategist to John McCain — said only people who share &#8220;the truth” should be able to speak on the air, especially about the 2020 presidential election. “It would be my policy that a Republican must assert the truth before they’re allowed to share any other views,” she <a href="https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2021/01/21/msnbcs-nicolle-wallace-republicans-must-assert-the-truth-before-theyre-allowed-to-share-any-other-views-n313903">said</a>.

A historic church across the street from the White House recently adorned the plywood barriers protecting it from vandals with murals depicting racial justice-themed images.
St. John&#8217;s Episcopal Church of Lafayette Square, which has served as the &#8220;Church of the Presidents&#8221; since it was built in 1816, became a central symbol of the riots that roiled Washington, D.C., over the summer after protesters <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-iconic-st-johns-church-near-white-house-set-on-fire-as-riots-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">attempted to light part of the structure on fire</a>. Since then, most of it has been boarded up and barricaded with fencing, concrete road blocks, and police presence.
Rev. Rob Fisher, the church&#8217;s rector, told <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/dc-church-vandalized-during-riots-offers-message-of-togetherness-with-racial-justice-themed-murals.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Christian Post</a> on Tuesday that they worked together with a local arts group called the P.A.I.N.T.S. Institute and the DowntownDC Business Improvement District to transform &#8220;something that is a bit of an eyesore&#8221; into &#8220;colorful images offering message (sic) of love, healing, togetherness and peace in Jesus’ name.&#8221;
“The artists really put their hearts and souls into the works they created. Many expressed to me what an honor it was to decorate the boards on such a historic place,” Fisher said. &#8220;One of our central themes is the Hebrew word shalom, which means more than the English translation &#8216;peace&#8217; but &#8216;wholeness&#8217; or &#8216;completeness.'&#8221;
“One thing I hope for with the murals is that while the nature of stained glass windows is to bring light and beauty into a room or worship space, we’re able to flip that script by sending light and beauty outward to our surrounding neighborhood,” Fisher continued.
&#8220;The visuals are like the bell we ring in our steeple — they remind us that God is present, that God loves us all, and that it is important, especially in difficult times, to look up! To remember that we are all part of something greater.&#8221;

On Monday night in Lafayette Park near the White House in Washington D.C., a black park police officer stood his ground silently while a white man who allegedly was pushed by the officer after the white man had reportedly put his hands on a police officer got in the face of the black officer and started abusing him, ranting, “Your child is gonna say you’re a piece of s***. Your mom is gonna say you’re a piece of s***. And if your mother doesn’t, I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for your family. You’re a piece of s***. You’re a piece of s***. You really are. You really are. You’re part of the f***ing problem.”
Turning to another cop, the man sneered in his face, “I’ll be in your face all I want,” before pointing at the black cop and saying, “Tell this b***a** (unintelligible) to stop putting his hands on people.&#8221;
A white woman also displayed her vocal gifts as she screamed invective at park police officers with exclamations like &#8220;I f***ing saw you! What the f*** has happened to you! How the f*** do you sleep at night!&#8221;
