It's blatant lying and misrepresentation by officials in a public office. Sackable offence in many countries. Principally those countries with a regard for law, order, fairness, transparency, justice, etc. The question really is, why would this be acceptable in the USofA by any administration.
Don’t worry! According to the White House, it’s just a meme! Making up fake news is totally fine as long as you can say you’re memeing! The WH using social media (X, Pravda Social) for official communication is highly deliberate - they get to declare post-hoc what is actually real communication and what is “just memes”.

MINNESOLA ARRESTS Attorney General Pamela Bondi @AGPamBondi
Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.
So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
We will share more updates as they become available.
Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.
UPDATE: A second arrest has been made at my direction. Chauntyll Louisa Allen has been taken into custody. More to come.
WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP
