Disarmed Marines at Inauguration Debunked

Numerous Blogs Duped into Carrying Right Wing Inauguration Hoax
Terrified President walks inaugural route again

The story is simple, a terrified President Obama had the crack Marine unit from the 8th and I Barracks disarmed because he feared they would assassinate him while he stood on the dais reviewing the inauguration parade.
The truth is simple, even the police had inert weapons, just as they had in every inauguration in the past, police, all military, everyone but the secret service.
We checked, we called, it took five minutes. The press statement from the Secret Service is copied below.
Now the shoe is on the other foot, we are looking for a reason for this hoax and those who worked hard to damage the Marine Corp and the President by lying to the public.

Mark my words. If ever anyone takes a shot at the Orange One or his family, all guns will be banned.

Trump knows how dangerous a bunch of ignorant white wing GOPer racists are when armed.
