ScreenshotU.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro delivered a masterclass in shutting down media spin and fake news deflection Thursday during a press conference announcing felony charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.On Wednesday, Judge Jeanine completely dismantled a smug, narrative-driven mainstream media reporter who tried to gaslight the American public into believing the destruction ‘was already there.’Pirro absolutely took him to school, delivering a masterclass in how to handle these left-wing activists masquerading as journalists.When the hack reporter tried to claim a perpetrator couldn’t possibly do $1,000 worth of damage with his bare hands, Pirro completely shut him down.As another question began referencing videos related to the incident, Pirro cut it short.“Well, good, I’m glad you got that evidence.

He was also reportedly belligerent toward a National Park Service employee who told him to stop.Hearn has claimed he was merely “curious” and touched a floating piece.Read more:BREAKING: Grand Jury Indicts Former Olympic Canoeist David Hearn on Felony Charges For Vandalizing Reflecting Pool – Faces 10 Years in Prison (PIrro Presser)/*!
