She hasn’t read the Bible 😂 this is posed, just like her lord and master did after he bombed the protesters to pose in front of the church, with the upside down Bible. The patients are running the asylum pic.twitter.com/OGOxzVU4ca

Misbar’s Analysis

An investigation by Misbar revealed that the Bible was not held upside down in the picture.

On June 1, 2020, President Donald Trump carried the Bible outside St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, across Lafayette Park, according to images shared on Getty Images.

Furthermore, the incident was captured on video, which is more evident than the image in the claim.
