During a briefing Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany explained to reporters, specifically CNN's Jim Acosta, that the police and other law enforcement officers have the right to defend themselves. Her comments came after the Trump administration was accused of having "peaceful protestors" tear gassed and physically removed from Lafayette Park on Monday evening.
"No tear gas was used and no rubber bullets were used," McEnany explained. "No-one was tear gassed, let me make that clear. That's been confirmed by DOD and Park Services as well."
"Let me go back and address what happened, there has been a lot of misreporting," she continued. "The protestors were told three times over loud speaker that they needed to move and what happened was it grew increasingly unruly, there were projectiles being thrown at officers, frozen water bottles were being thrown at officers, various other projectiles and the offers had no other choice than in that moment to act and make sure that they were safe and that the perimeter was pushed back because as we all know a church was burning in that very area the night before so the appropriate action was taken...It's absolutely uncalled for to thrown bricks. Absolutely uncalled for to throw water bottles that are frozen at police officers."
Press Sec Disputes Allegation That Police Used Tear Gas Against Peaceful Protestors
Meanwhile, a number of U.S. military units have been moved to the Washington D.C. should unrest in the city continue.
The Pentagon has ordered forces and bases in the Washington D.C. area to "Force Protection Condition Charlie," a threat condition that indicates "likely" targeting of military forces and or terrorist action and the second highest alert level available.The state of higher alert was ordered as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

I fell over laughing..now they want the police
Projectile throwing = unlawful assembly. Our sheriff was going over this yesterday. Once a crime like brick throwing is committed the “peaceful protest” is over. A mob gets no do-overs.
Why do you watch this on Fox? The WH live link is available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/ Pressers are also available on OAN, RSBN and the WH youtube channel.
As far as I am concerned, the matter is now settled and closed for me.
The refusal to move back to allow Trump to pass through was reason enough.
The protesters turned violent first, then law officers have the authority to defend.
Just remember that Fox News now has PAUL RYAN sitting on it’s Board of Directors. It is ONLY going to get worse from now on.
I strongly recommend you give OANN (One America News Network) a try.
She is still a “Bushie”.
I saw the press conference. Media kept calling the smoke and pepper spray chemical weapons. The police used “chemical weapons” on protestors. So disgusting the way they try to spin the narrative.
"I'm not a white supwemacthisth!! I justh know what'sth bettew fow bwack people!!!!"
“There seems to be a developing liberal narrative, that the police are being too hard on the rioters.”
That’s been the Anarchists’ strategy for at least 100 years. Keep escalating the vandalism and violence, until you get a strong-enough police response to garner the sympathy of the masses. It’s a real dilemma for political leaders.
I wonder what Jasper’s take on that is?
Inquiring minds really don’t want to know.
Now I must go and try to remove that mental image.
Has Dana Perino endorsed Joe Biden yet? I never could stand her.
She’s a mediocre everything. Anytime her face appears on Tucker, Tucker goes off.
She brings absolutely nothing to the table, and her analysis of anything is just a bunch of worthless babble.
I think it’s neat - this new kind of tear gas they invented. The cops in the vicinity don’t need to wear gas masks - it doesn’t affect them - and the President can walk through the same area that has been sprayed with tear gas and it doesn’t affect him either. Only the protestors are affected.
What will they think of next?
As for the phrase “peaceful protestor” - it all depends on the object you are protesting against. If you are protesting against Trump or the police, then throwing bricks and caustic liquids is obviously in the cause of peace, thus the protest is a “peaceful” one. No problem.
Kayleigh McEnany and Katie Pavlich are my two up and coming rising stars.
But why has my other favorite Candace Owens been missing in action as of the past few months?
I heard somebody say, send in cowboys on horseback.to lasso the rioters.
I heard someone else say send up drones and drop tear gas bombs or slimy grease on them.
Can’t “pummel” Acosta. He’s like wack-a-mole. Even if you hit him hard, he just pops up out of another hole with the same narrative. But I’m sure she made him look like a jack-ass, because he isn’t far off from that already.
I see my third up and coming rising star is still fighting for us.
“Every four years the black community takes the media bait,’ conservative commentator and Blexit Leader Candace Owens said Wednesday night as riots raged in Minneapolis, Minnesota over the death of a local Black man, George Floyd, who died in police custody.
“”””
I was so pissed at Dana Perino - I was watching the Presser - Chanel Rion asked a question - just as Kayleigh began to answer, Fox cut her off!”””
forget about Fox, go to Conservative Treehouse and they live stream the pressers every day.
