This hack needs to be banned from these daily pressers.
You are incorrect in your assessment. She is a rank amateur and is the liar in this instance. The park service corrected their original statement and admitted that tear gas was used. Also, trump laid the blame on Barr for forcibly removing peaceful protesters so that Trump could have his photo op. So where do you get your info? From Trump? Ha Ha.
Tear gas was never used. These same people set a church on fire the night and they were not peaceful. That's a lie.
Not a lie.

They used smoke canisters and pepper balls. Not tear gas. Notice you didn’t quote their subsequent statements-
An updated statement on the Park Police website posted Wednesday still claims that “officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park.”
Reached for comment, the Park Police pointed The Hill to a new statement issued Friday, which reiterated its earlier claims.
"USPP officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park on Monday, June 1," the agency said.
And this-
But Monahan said USPP did use “smoke canisters and pepper balls.” USPP spokesman Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told us: “We did not use CS or
chlorobenzalmalononitrile, commonly referred to as ‘tear gas’ which is often used as a non-lethal option in law enforcement. I am unaware of the brand of pepperball used.”
Thomas Kearney, associate dean and professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco and co-author of a
2014 study on pepper spray injuries, told us he didn’t have knowledge about these particular “pepper ball” devices, but that the USPP “was probably referring to an OC containing lacrimator. Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is the active ingredient of peppers and activates the TRPV1 pain receptor.
Whereas CS & CN have different receptors and were more toxic,” he said in an email, referring to chloroacetophenone.
He said he believed the terms were used “interchangeably- tear gas vs lacrimator.” A “
lacrimator,” of course, is a substance that produces tears, and both CS and OC do that.
Democratic politicians have criticized President Donald Trump for the use of "tear gas" to disperse protesters near the White House on June 1 before Trump walked to St. John's Episcopal Church to pose for photos with a Bible. The president countered, "They didn't use tear gas."

And once again, the left is arguing over semantics. The more toxic -tear gas- as commonly known is
chlorobenzalmalononitrile, commonly referred to as ‘tear gas’ , was not used.
