As a matter of record, the media story that Trump had rioters tear gassed so he could go to the church in D.C. is also false. The Park Police said they had no idea Trump was coming. They asked the rioters three times to leave as they were violating curfew, destroying property, and attacking law enforcement. They did not leave so the Park service took the action they did.
Completely fake news the media keeps repeating.
Key quote from the story:
"But on Tuesday morning, Park Police sources told WTOP that this was not the case, arguing that the protesters were not all peaceful, that tear gas was not used, and that officers did not know of Trump’s visit to the house of worship. The outlet went on to report that the crowd was pushed back when officers were being hit with water bottles and that protesters had climbed onto the top of a structure at the north end of Lafayette Square that had been attacked and burned a day earlier.”
Park Police reportedly say protesters near the White House were pushed back by riot police on Monday evening because they were attacking police officers, not because of a visit by President Trump to a nearby church that had been set alight the night before.

Liar. The curfew didn't start until 7:00 PM. They fired off tear gas at 6:30.
Because they were being pelted with debris.
LIAR
You Trump supporters should get your stories strait. The OP said it was past curfew. Of course that was a lie. I was watching a live feed when the cops started clearing the park. There wasn't any sign of anything being thrown until Trump's attack on innocent protesters.
It was 25 minutes before the crowd was going to be ordered to leave.
That's why Trump did it then, to tear gas them while they were still there.
prove it.
The timeline is already proven.
They had to have their asses out by 7:00PM...not one minute after. 99.99% of these so called protest have just been excuses
No tear gas was used. You buy into liberal media narrative. It was smoke grenades. God you people are dumb.
We are past that now. There is overwhelming video evidence and personal accounts of people being effected by tear gas.
The question that remains is will anyone be held accountable for the use of excessive force and the violation of the protester's constitutional rights? Not to mention Trump's callous use of a church and the bible as backdrop for a piece of propaganda.
it was pepper gas, the natural form of tearing gas, but not the chemical form tear gas made in a lab.... there is little difference, between the two....man made vs natural.
Tear Gas vs.
Pepper Spray. The two biggest differences between
tear gas spray and
pepper spray are their chemical makeup and delivery methods.
Pepper spray (sometimes referred to as “OC
spray“) is a combination of natural chemicals, whereas
tear gas (also called “CS
gas“) comes from man-made compounds.

Thanks for validating my post...it was not a choking agent. ******* liberals.
You are aware the Mark Esper has apologized for the manner in which the military cleared the park last night. He said it was wrong for the President to use troops, flash bombs, and field of combat tactics to break up a peaceful demonstration, and he believes that using the military to stop these marches is wrong.
Sec. Esper claims he had no idea that the President was going to use the military to clear the park for a photo op, and that this was wrong.
Esper is misguided and show me where Trump issued the order? We need water cannon and live rounds to deal with common criminals. They had to be out by 7:00PM. Looks like Esper is going to get his ass fired.
His Attorney General issued the order for him.
The Attorney General issued it on his own.
Bullshit, Impeached Trump is his boss.
You mean exonerated forever Trump. Probably because the whole impeachment process, Operation Crossfire Hurricane, blaming the President for COVID 19, and now bullshit liberal media trying to blame him for riots and looters. All part of a continuous campaign to delegitmize OUR President that began with all the tears on election night 2016.
Donald Trump is responsible for the whole impeachment process, beginning with his attempt to shake down the Ukranian government.
No one blames Donald Trump for the pandemic, but they do blame Trump for his complete failure to properly address the pandemic, leading to the deaths of more than 108,000 Americans so far.
And yes, Donald Trump is responsible for the riots and the looting. For failing to address the crisis in policing in the USA, and for cancelling the programs to improve police relations with their communities. By encouraging rank and file officers to "rough up" suspects in their custody. By denying that there are any issues of racism, overpolicing, and two systems of justice in America, even as Donald Trump has all of his white buddies who were convicted of crimes, or who plead guilty, released from jail.
So yes, the mess you're in today, is entirely the responsibility of Donald J. Trump. Just as Bill Clinton handed over a healthy prosperous nation to Geroge W. Bush, only to have Bush cut taxes and run the economy directly into a tree after 9/11 which nearly collapsed the world economy.
After 9/11, the rest of the world learned about the dangers of entangling their economy with that of a Republican lead government, because well, Donald Trump cut taxes, and then crashed the economy with his failed response to the covid19 epidemic.
Donald Trump is now backed into a corner. Firing rubber bullets and tear gas so he could cross the street for a photo op. Dumbest move ever. At every turn, Donald Trump shows how total unqualified, how totally lacking in any skills or character required by the leader of his nation, he truly is.
It is time for the entire Republican Party to call on Trump to resign for the good of the nation, and to declare themselves unfit to govern.
