The unwarranted, despicable, and illegal act - ultimately ordered by Attorney General Bill Barr - was shown on live television. There are hundreds of videos, from major news organizations and civilian protesters, of the attack, all online. But if asked, Trump would claim they are all completely fake.On the Park Police statement:— Alex Wayne (@aawayne) June 2, 2020
1. They admit using pepper agents to disperse protesters
2. Witness accounts, including from journalists on-scene, indicated protesters were peaceful until the police attacked without warninghttps://t.co/6Bpij3bsUn
And yet not one Republican Senator denied that the White House ordered the tear-gas attack so Trump could film a campaign commercial. Indeed, they were all reluctant to utter one peep about it. Were they embarrassed or ashamed? I don't know. But it's clear they did not want to discuss the White House's actions, one way or the other, on camera.

Tear gas was absolutely used against peaceful protesters. It was aired on live TV. People were pouring water in their eyes and journalists got attacked as well. Don’t try lying your way out of this now, you coward.— Ms. Krassenstein (@HKrassenstein) June 3, 2020
NBC’s Garrett Haake: “I was a there. I smelled the gas, saw the explosive charges & watchched the mounted police pushing non-violent protestors out of their way.” — MSNBC— Ms. Krassenstein (@HKrassenstein) June 3, 2020
1) Dozens of reporters, hundreds of protest participants reported tear gas and rubber bullets. They were actually there. Their lungs and eyes burned. They have welts.— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) June 3, 2020
2) Trump lies pretty much every day, about pretty much everything. He has been lying about these protests. https://t.co/U6xOyd10S5

PEACEFUL PROTEST, 100+ cops show up for no reason. 10 cops jump on a guy filming on his bike, not doing anything, police throw tear gas and start shooting at rubber bullets at unarmed civilians who were even chanting “we are peaceful”. pic.twitter.com/5JxvNcdJGc
Tonight in Brockton, police fired several tear gas canisters into a crowd of #BlackLivesMatter protestors.— Mike Connolly (@MikeConnollyMA) June 3, 2020
Tear gas is considered a chemical weapon and is not allowed on military battlefields.
My office is now working on legislation to ban its use against protestors, too. pic.twitter.com/troyUdgMZp
To be clear, they are doing this so the protesters are unable to get the mace and tear gas and pepper spray out of their eyes https://t.co/AtZVkFRjaN— Mere Smith (@EvilGalProds) June 3, 2020

here's drone footage of the same event showing the scale of things, and that the protest was completely peaceful before the cops attacked. this was half an hour before curfew, not that it should matter.https://t.co/Dxqps7n96B— the curlews called from strangely (@stuntedtrees) June 3, 2020
Mitch McConnell sabotaged a resolution against the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on Americans lawfully exercising their Constitutional right to peaceably assemble.From my POV, there was no violence from us. There was only peace. They shot on us. Lets make sure we get our facts straight, they say that they shot on us because we were violent. Tell me where and when you see anyone in this video being violent. Ill wait https://t.co/KwVc4idAZ9— AtomtheGuy (@AtomtheG) June 3, 2020
Donald Trump's disapproval rating is now 54% — the highest disapproval for any president in U.S. history (since polling began in 1945, according to 538). One poll, by Øptimus, from May 23-30, reported a 61% disapproval percentage.Sen.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked for his thoughts on Trump's call for military attacks against lawful protesters. Trudeau paused 21 seconds before answering. It's odd. At a few points during the silence, I felt like it was deliberate and not a function of finding the right words.
Trudeau, who has kissed up to Trump far too often over the last three-plus years and can give Trump a decent run for his money when it comes to denying reality and rationalizing his abhorrent and inhumane policies, did not mention Dolt 45's name.
We all watch in horror and consternation at what is going on in the United States. It is a time to pull people together ... it is a time to listen. It is a time to learn, when injustices continue despite progress over years and decades.
