Charlottesville false narrative crushed by DHS warning

Governor Terry McAuliffe's efforts to evade responsibility for the shocking violence at Charlottesville just got even more implausible. He and local authorities were warned, and yet allowed, if not forced, the two violence-prone parties into such close proximity that violence was a near certainty.

Josh Meyer reports in Politico:

The Department of Homeland Security issued a confidential warning to law enforcement authorities three days before the deadly Aug. 12 Charlottesville protest rally, saying that an escalating series of clashes had created a powder keg that would likely make the event "among the most violent to date" between white supremacists and anarchists.

They didn't just let it happen they planned it to happen. Fake news is bad enough this is just liberal politicians trying to divide. We Americans have seen your tactics for the past 8 years and we don't buy them anymore.
