The same tear gas agent that the Trump administration is taking heat for deploying against a border mob this weekend is actually used fairly frequently including more than once a month during some years under President Obama, according to Homeland Security data.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has used 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, or CS, since 2010, and deployed it 26 times in 2012 and 27 times in 2013. The use dropped after that, but was still deployed three times in 2016, Mr. Obamas final full year in office.
Use of CS rose again in 2017, which was split between Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump, and reached 29 deployments in fiscal year 2018, which ended two months ago, according to CBP data seen by The Washington Times.
Border authorities also use another agent, pepper spray, frequently including a decade-high record of 151 instances in 2013, also under Mr. Obama. Pepper spray, officially known as Pava Capsaicin, was used 43 times in fiscal year 2018, according to the CBP numbers.

Let's Wrap This Baby Up, Folks!
The truth about Obama comes out!
Yes, more and more of it dribbles out and I imagine there’s much more to come because of the cover-ups.
Note its the Times that would only report such factoids.
The other 94% of admitted democrat voting ‘unbiased’ journalists won’t ever run such a piece.
Washington Times, to be precise.
Thanks jazusamo.
No one cares what that marxist muslim did and the left have no problem with hypocrisy. They embrace it.
