Democrats share altered ‘lights out’ photo of White House on social media
washington examiner ^ | 6/2/2020 | emily larsen

A viral image shared by Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats that implied President Trump made an unusual move by turning off all the lights in the White House amid protests over the death of George Floyd is an edited image from 2015, according to an Associated Press fact check.

"Elections matter," Clinton said in a Monday tweet. The tweet showed the White House illuminated in rainbow colors after a 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage alongside an image of the White House with no exterior lights on.

Many others, including New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell, a Democrat, shared the image while claiming that Trump turned off the lights as Secret Service transported him to a basement bunker Friday amid violent protests outside the White House.

David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, also shared the tweet on Monday. "Perfect symbolism. If ever the country needed the occupant of the White House to shed light, and not heat, now is the time. Sadly, the lights are out," he said.

I don’t give a damn what the Democrats do. They are my enemy and the enemy of every Freedom loving American. But that could be the problem. they may not be any Freedom loving Americans left.

This is another nothing burger.

There are two possibilities here.

The first as noted further down the article is that the lights are automatically turned off at a set time.

The other is more of a tactical decision to not only keep the agents protected (by not having them silhouetted against the brightly lit building), but to allow agents and military to use night vision devices.

I could be mistaken but the picture isn't altered. I believe it was when Obama lit it up that way to celebrate a Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

One of the most anti-Obama ads of the election is being run by a Democrat in West Virginia

Bongino has mentioned— the lights out is because the Secret Service owns the night, and these jacksnipes are going to be given an extreme lesson to learn. They’ll never know what hit them and from where.

The top one is altered. It is when Trump went into the Dik Cheney bunker, supposedly.

Then explain this:

The perpetually not-President Hillary Clinton on Monday shared a side-by-side photo of the White House, one lit up in a rainbow spectrum from 2015, when Barack Obama was in office, and the other appearing almost in pitch black with no lighting. “Elections matter,” tweeted Clinton.

The lying about Donald Trump is now completely out of control
