Whoa: The White House is circulating a video which it claims shows a cache of antifa bricks, but the image is actually just a year-old security barrier set up by the Chabad Jewish center in Sherman Oaks to prevent anti-Semitic car ramming attacks. https://t.co/hTjTErAHXm

This White House video includes footage of palettes of bricks in places like Sherman Oaks, New York, and Fayetteville that were absolutely not "staged." In one case, they show barricades that were erected a year ago to protect a Jewish community center: https://t.co/zLbn7jCvn7 https://t.co/WhbELCOAN7

NEW: Websites and social media users are sharing footage of bricks around the country to suggest that "riots were planned, orchestrated events." That's Mostly False. https://t.co/Ktgv9s7C8e pic.twitter.com/l0XtvNOUU1

“The White House deleted the tweet, without explanation or apology, after journalists including Tablet Magazine's Yair Rosenberg and CNN's Gabe Ramirez — who lives in the neighborhood — pointed out that it showed a synagogue security barrier.” https://t.co/oVsvCHQIXj
