Contradicting Trump, Barr Says Bunker Visit Was for Safety, Not an ‘Inspection’

The Tug's two favorite heroes are contradicting each other. Who's lying?

Attorney General William P. Barr contradicted President Trump on Monday and confirmed that the president was taken to an underground bunker late last month not for an “inspection” but because of security concerns over street demonstrations outside the White House.

“Things were so bad that the Secret Service recommended the president go down to the bunker,” Mr. Barr said in an interview with Fox News. “We can’t have that in our country.”

Mr. Barr’s account of the events of May 29 stood in direct contrast to the version that Mr. Trump offered last week when he denied a report in The New York Times that the Secret Service had taken him to the bunker for his security amid the protests. The president called that a “false report” and suggested that he had merely been looking the place over.

“I wasn’t down — I went down during the day, and I was there for a tiny little short period of time, and it was much more for an inspection,” Mr. Trump said last week. “There was no problem during the day.”

    Barr also said the crowd wasn't removed for Trump

    Seriously, of all the chaos going on right now, this is your pressing concern?

    Yuan or US dollars for that shit poast?

    Pro-tip #2: Don't take an incoming wire either - opens you up to RICO and BSA laws. Get cash money. Venti Starbucks cups are best but you'll need one of these if they are paying you in Chinese yuan.

    Let me see if I have this straight. The very same guy who lied his ass off and claimed that white supremacists were behind the looting and arson. Who just yesterday tried to push some bullshit story about how an Hispanic man who appears to have made a wrong turn on a street was really a racist white supremacist trying to run down peaceful protesters. And for the last 3 plus years pushed a complete piece of crap and totally false narrative that Trump colluded with the Russians is now interested in who is lying.

    I think Trump was frightened for his physical safety. Not a good look, and explains some of his actions.

    Liar. When did I ever claim the driver was a white supremacist? Just another lie from you like how tear gas wasn't used at Lafayette Square. Why are you such a fucking liar Gay Bob?

    Tear gas wasn’t used at Lafayette square. Smoke canisters and pepper balls were. Those aren’t tear gas.

    I think its perfectly normal to tell Potus to hit the bunker. I have no idea if Trump was scared but he was mocked which triggered the bluster and exaggeration we now expect

    2 weeks later and it's still a top story by the left. It will be in 2 years

    Sad

    Got to love how IC the fucking dipshit calls me a liar while repeating a thoroughly debunked lie.
