It was, in fact, abandoned, but not by choice: less than an hour before Trump’s arrival, armored police used tear gas to clear hundreds of peaceful demonstrators from Lafayette Square park, which is across the street from the church.” “Authorities also expelled at least one Episcopal priest and a seminarian from the church’s patio.” The White House released a video last night glorifying Trump’s photo op.

'in a fire during protests' is WRONG AND MISLEADING. You ignorant people conflate the protest with rioters and completely lose any credibility. Did they expel or just ask them to leave for security reasons? Do you not see how you spread division? You blame Trump but people like you are spreading division at every turn and cant see past your nose. Truly sad. Rolltide, and Soxcat 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nine Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Spin it however you like. The fact is, Trump had the police force remove peaceful protesters and clergy using whatever means necessary just so he could get a photo op holding up a book he's never read. I didn't have a problem with him going into the bunker. Regardless who's in office or what anyone thinks about him personally, POTUS must be protected in any volatile and unpredictable situation, no matter what. But this whole photo op thing was an absolutely disastrous PR stunt that underscores his tone deafness with situational optics and his appalling lack of empathy for American citizens. There's no putting lipstick on that pig. Come on Titans, No1TitansFan, reo, and 15 others 9 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any president has the absolute right to have them moved just like when they block off streets for a presidential motorcade. If they wont moved when asked, you move them.

A whole 3 times?? Then went to tear gas and rubber bullets. No surprise you support using tear gas on peaceful American citizens after only a few mins.

CreepingDeath Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) They won't even acknowledge that it happened. A boomer in-law commented on a 20-something in-law's post about this about how only god can question Trump's beliefs. Then she begged for people to stop posting divisive stuff. She's a kind lady, but obviously a delusional Republican that won't consider any other ideas that aren't given as the party line.

Popular Post Omar Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 The assault on the peaceful protesters and disgusting photo op was denounced by the Archbishop. How does the conservative “religious” right explain this? Very unusual for an Archbishop to speak out like that. begooode, pat, ChemEngr79, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
