Mike Pence said that President Maduro of Venezuela had “...burned food and medicine” coming into Venezuela. He even said Maduro danced when it happened. The State Department also released a video stating that Maduro had ordered the trucks carrying the aid to be burned.
This was terrible, except it evidently didn’t happen. Video of the event, released by Columbia, suggests that it was actually an anti-Maduro protestor who threw a Molotov cocktail that started the fire.
Oops.

More White House fake news.
