They're towing his vehicle from in front of the Auto Zone in Plantation, FL, which is a white van covered with stickers, signs, decals etc., but I can't read any of them. Wish I could.

So why cover the van with a tarp. Shouldn't the public have "transparency"?? Not normal for police hauling away evidence.

Fox News viewers will NEVER see the uncovered van.

To paraphrase the saying: never attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by incompetence. The kind of person who's so irrational as to want to kill people for disagreeing with Trump is the sort who probably won't think about covering their tracks.

Oh, and surprise: the suspect is a die-hard Trump supporter.

Haha, I have to say if this is the guy that’s pretty hilarious. If I were drawing a jersey shore style caricature of what this guy’s car would look like it would be something like that.

can you recognize something in that photo? It is too blurred for me to make out anything except there is some sort of stickers on the window.

That seems to be almost certainly a commemorative picture of Trump as president.

I guess it’s possible the lettering around it say ‘screw this asshole’ or something but at first glance this appears very likely to be a Trump Superfan.

Yeah the top circled one is his face on the presidential seal. The other is the GOP logo.

Looks more like Reagan to me with the blurring in that image, but really no difference there: both presidents are/were anti-american terrorists.

That wasn't how the story was spun originally. They only changed their tune once it was called out. Look at these CNN reports.

Excuse me but that is TWITTER spin. One CNN staffer wrote Trump dumped the entire box food. Misleading, but not a lie because he actually did that. The CNN article I posted clearly states Abe did it first.

Try again.

PS. - "Dumping the entire box of food" and Abe doing it first are the same article. A bit misleading but true.

I put this at the same level of Obama wearing mom jeans and throwing out a bad first pitch.

They created a false narrative, that is a lie.

But the video guy was yelling! Exactly the way I picture Slow to look when he is posting here, in fact.

And as many others have told you, they realized had made a mistake and issued a retraction, exactly what any other responsible news organization does when that happens.

What part was the false narrative? Trump did exactly what was stated. They didn't even say he went first, in fact it was stated Abe did it first.

If the media lies as much as you say you've got to have something more substantial

They didn't create anything. That reported a fact. Other people created a narrative.

EXACTLY
