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.”

Liar. The curfew didn't start until 7:00 PM. They fired off tear gas at 6:30.
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.

Fake news directly contradicted by Park police. No tear gas was used. None. Trump walked trough the Park shortly after the smole canisters were deployed. Did it look like he had been exposed to tear gas?
Geeez you people are morons.......

Protesters Dispersed With Tear Gas So Trump Could Pose at Church (Published 2020)
“He did not pray,” said Mariann E. Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington. “He did not mention George Floyd, he did not mention the agony of people who have been subjected to this kind of horrific expression of racism and white supremacy for hundreds of years.”www.nytimes.com
Mr. Trump began his walk to the church at 7:01 p.m. for a photo session that lasted about 17 minutes. On his way over, after protesters had been driven from the park, he was trailed by a group of aides, including Attorney General William P. Barr. Mr. Barr had strolled to the edge of the police line to observe the crowd in the minutes before the tear-gassing began.
The secret service knew the president was going to visit the church right after the curfew. I presume the police and park service were in on it.

I agree the response was before 7:00pm. I also know no tear gas was used as the media reported. That is a lie. Also, the rioters were not peaceful as the media reported. That is also a lie. Also, Trump did not ask the Park police to take action against the rioters. That is also a lie.
Bulldog I can concede your one point. Why can't you concede any points?

Very close to one hundred percent of news reported by all mainstream networks is false, or it is spun so violently it might as well be pure lies. The modern man, woman and child lives in a petri dish experiment conducted by one government power that claims to be divided into and representing two very different ideologies. In truth there is no difference between America's two dominant political parties. We're they're test subjects. They enrage, terrify, excite, incite or inspire us at their leisure and for their pleasure and to increase their fortunes. Democide for television ratings is their new "in" game.
And the ONLY way the MSM can supposedly fight back is to continue to attack Trump. Now why ?
Read this study!!!
In 2016, a study by the Center for Public Integrity showed that
96% of campaign donations by journalists went to Hillary Clinton,
compared to just 3.5% which went to Trump.
While coverage of President Obama included 59% favorable content among the 10 news outlets compared to 41% negative,
coverage of President Trump has included a whopping 80% of reporting that is negative in tone, with just 20% that is positive.

Journalists shower Hillary Clinton with campaign cash – Center for Public Integrity
New Yorker television critic Emily Nussbaum, a newly minted Pulitzer Prize winner, spent the Republican National Convention pen-pricking presidential nominee Donald Trump as a misogynist shyster running an “ugly and xenophobic campaign.” What Nussbaum didn’t disclose in her dispatches: she...publicintegrity.org
So people don't like Trump. Whose fault is that? If he wants people to like him, he should quit being a spoiled ass hole.
As Mr. Trump delivered a speech in the Rose Garden vowing to send the military to states where governors could not bring rioting under control but calling himself “an ally of all peaceful protesters,” the sound of explosions and the yells of demonstrators could be heard. After receiving repeated warnings to disperse before the city’s curfew, the crowd was tear-gassed.
Smoke canisters are a smoke screen. It's used to conceal approaching forces. Why would the park police use smoke canisters?They were smoke canisters per the Park police. No tear gas was ever used. The story is false.
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.

Except we have video of of those "not all peaceful protestors", being pushed back by Park Police, using rubber bullets and officers on horseback wearing riot gear. One MSNBC reporter was hit with a flashbomb. We also have witnesses both in the Rose Garden and amongst the protestors who smelled the tear gas. The Washington Mayor and the Chief of Police both said that tear gas was used.
FOX is lying on behalf of President Trump, and his staff. As always.
