President Trump and some of his supporters are claiming authorities did not use tear gas against people in a crackdown outside the White House this week. An APFactCheck finds evidence that they did.

for riot-control agents and cites pepper spray as one kind. In the unrest near the White House, officers shot plastic balls with pepper powder from what looked like souped-up paintball guns, and dispersed other compounds in a stinging fog.The book also says riot-control agents are “popularly referred to as ‘tear gas’ or ‘pepper spray.’” It says they may be combined with an explosive substance in grenades, released in a smoke of particles from handheld devices or sprayed in a solution.

Dr. Sven-Eric Jordt researches tear gas agents and chemical exposure injuries in his lab at the Duke University School of Medicine’s Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program. “There’s been very little research on tear gas being done in the United States,” he said, and “no research backing up the use levels that are deployed now.”

FactCheck So glad the CDC is using its energy here, rather than on disease!!!

FactCheck Have you corrected your erroneous fact-check? Perhaps in the name of journalism, you should.

FactCheck And I would want to believe AP and the CDC... Known fakes

FactCheck Fact check who believes the CDC anymore after the covid-19 Fiasco

FactCheck Trump lied again this time he gassed American citizens out of his way in the people's park. Everyone whose ever been to the White House has had a picture taken from Lafayette Park across street from the White House.

FactCheck Thanks for all of your hard work. Americans need you.

FactCheck What kind of reforms are people actually expecting? As in the specific changes in legislation? All I can think to improve the situation is more body cams and trained panels to analyse more incidents holding officers more accountable...

southernfemale5 FactCheck Liars...

FactCheck If you read how the CDC defines tear gas

FactCheck Does anyone believe anything realDonaldTrump or anyone in his administration say?

FactCheck HERE IS AN IDEA! LEAVE WHEN YOUR DUMMY SELF IS TOLD TO!!! He is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! They don’t want to take ANY CHANCES! Especially how hateful some of these ungrateful citizens are!

FactCheck If they didn’t they should have.

FactCheck No A-10’s fueled up for strafing?

FactCheck Good. They needed it.

FactCheck At least it was approved by the CDCgov lol

FactCheck This is more misinformation by the AP. I read the way you tried to bend the truth to fit your narrative.

FactCheck And yet supposedly Trump walked through that.

FactCheck “Tear gas is anything that makes you cry,” said Dr. Lynn Goldman, dean of the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health....hmmm wouldn’t Trump being your president be “Tear Gas?” Get your masks ready for Trump 2020.

FactCheck realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse dumbasses

FactCheck If they did nothing wrong with it people are forgetting its the white house and they was threatening to go over the wall so sick of people telling half the truth

FactCheck Yes we know we have been seeing the videos for a week.

FactCheck Nothing like a press that lets Bill Clinton say oral sex is not sex. Also same press that said Trump Tower has never been wire tapped... when Manafort lived there and was surveilled there... aka “wiretapped”

FactCheck So what if they did!! Look at what these rioters are doing. They lost their voice. I don't care about them anymore.

FactCheck Lies,Lies, and more Lies

FactCheck

FactCheck 31 years ago today, the Chinese government murdered students who stood up to tyranny at Tiananmen Square. Whether in Beijing then or Hong Kong and Lafayette Park now, we must oppose the use of military force to crush peaceful protesters. The right to free speech is universal.

FactCheck realDonaldTrump senatemajldr PressSec FLOTUS senatemajldr

FactCheck And if he did? I fail to see the problem. People were gave an order to disperse, they did not. Police and military both have to get tear gassed as part of their training. It doesn't kill you, it just sucks for 10 minutes.

FactCheck Trump lies about everything, this is by no means shocking. What would be shocking is Republicans in Congress making any sort of statements about his lies.

FactCheck

FactCheck Please use 'chemical weapons' He used chemical weapons on American citizens

FactCheck Source(s): Dude, trust me.

FactCheck We can just watch the video! And, NOW Bill Barr is and said the peaceful protesters were NOT cleared to allow Trump to access the park. 'There was no correlation...'

FactCheck Crazy

FactCheck Some of his supporters watch the entire news conferences because we can't trust the narration by junk news outlets. DOD Sec Esper SAID they only used PEPPER BALLS and SMOKE CANNISTERS. Did you miss that part while smearing shit on you lips?

FactCheck You would think a president who actually made a living on TV would understand how live TV works, and that we all literally saw it happen live.

FactCheck Look a the photo posted with this tweet. None of the front line officers are wearing gas masks. If tear gas was being used, they would have been - they were not.

FactCheck Neither rubber bullets?

FactCheck AP= Ass Pickle

FactCheck

FactCheck Odd, the police aren't wearing gas masks....one would think they would be wearing gas masks if tear gas was used, right?

FactCheck CDC. The same people that lied about coronavirus. Got it

FactCheck No, fact check finds that pepper balls are categorized as riot control and cause irritation to the eyes. Like tear gas. But your fact check did not find that tear gas was used. I hope fake journalists like you rot in hell for inflaming America

FactCheck Cdc lying again

FactCheck what evidence do you have prove it?

FactCheck So, police without gas masks, on horseback, used tear gas on peaceful protesters? Right before the POTUS walked through the area?

FactCheck You didn't give shit when Obama used it in Ferguson day after night. It never ever bothered Democrats orlandosentinel I screen shot a few.

FactCheck Fact check = Your Eyes

FactCheck Fake news

FieldingFishly FactCheck Truth!!

FactCheck Who tf would support his ass after all this shit

FactCheck Tear gas wasn't used but it was used under a democrat governor in Ferguson. Where was the CDC?!

FactCheck 'To use these highly irritating agents on protesters is not a good idea .... It’s really shocking that it is used to that extent.' Forms of tear gas. | CalWd sejordt

FactCheck 😊

FactCheck CN and CS gas are way more effective than pepper spray

FactCheck Really? how come none of these guys are wearing gas masks? and why aren't they affected by the tear gas? are they immune?

FactCheck Bs

FactCheck When America is following in the steps of Assad… is it time to exercise the 2nd amendment against the president?

FactCheck Let’s call it what it is, a chemical weapon.

FactCheck need to stop this bolshevik revolution!

FactCheck WHERE THE FUCK IS THE UN?! This is something they handle right? Breaking the Geneva convention? They are attacking medical stations to!!

FactCheck I think of it more of clearing the air of decent...but making Antifa cry so the president could go to church, I approve. Antifa is so sensitive with teargas.

FactCheck Correct me if I am wrong...but didn’t the CDC also say there was no reason to wear masks during the Corona Virus pandemic

FactCheck They were asked to leave multiple times. They were told they would deploy SMOKE canisters. Get your facts straight. Stop with the lies.

FactCheck When did lying become journalism? Stop spreading hate and lies

FactCheck Protesters were warned three times to disperse. Anyone remaining got what they deserved

stillmindylou FactCheck Wow... sad you got paid to write this... I guess common sense isn't common anymore!

FactCheck Hmm. Who else uses chemical agents on their own people and then denies it despite evidence to the contrary? *cough* Assad. DictatorTrump

FactCheck What is your evidence? You say pepper spray is same as tear gas but you don't show pictures of canisters or pepper balls you picked up? Evidence means you have something

FactCheck So, redefine non-tear gas as tear gas and then say “tear gas was used”. Talk about spin.

FactCheck What a surprise a lying sociopathic narcissist would say and ORDER this before holding the Bible up in front of a church he has been chastised by. How we got here Vote

FactCheck So what. Get over it,

FactCheck

FactCheck There are some reporters out there that gathered up the canisters that clearly say tear gas on them

FactCheck Not just tear gas, but brute force

FactCheck Well, when the CDC takes the oath to enforce the laws of this nation and broaden their role to protect and serve thusly taking on crowds throwing dangerous objects towards them on the streets of our nation’s Capitol I will give a S%*. I know they serve, but this isn’t their job

FactCheck They should have used tear gas every 15 minutes until these looters and murders left for the beach. They didn't use it quick enough or often enough.

FactCheck

FactCheck Ooohhh CDC says it. Hahaha

FactCheck Ok so President Trump cannot go to a church but it's ok for these thugs to burn a church? What's wrong with this picture.

FactCheck there is no evidence, and even if it was, seemed kind of necessary.

FactCheck its like right there, or is this just smoke...we saw it from New Zealand on live TV.

FactCheck Why are the police not wearing gas masks in your own picture?

FactCheck A fart is literally tear gas. Any more questions?

FactCheck In other words no tear gas was used.

FactCheck CNN realdonaldtrump FoxNews GOP TNGOP PressSec VP WhiteHouse senatemajldr

FactCheck Who cares

FactCheck We fucking saw it realDonaldTrump in real time. It was the only way to get you out of your bunker I guess.

FactCheck its a shame they dint use live ammunition

FactCheck Please: just tweet the actual facts! Don't give Trumputin and enablers space by retweeting their lies as well. 9 months later, people only remember the lie.

FactCheck Somebody might wanna test those canisters for Lysol & Hydroxychloroquine.

FactCheck In 2017, the AP called it Smoke Bombs. In 2020, the AP calls it Tear Gas.

FactCheck This is how fake news works. Smoke bombs are not the same as tear gas. The authorities used smoke bombs.

FactCheck

FactCheck Why did you not mention smoke bomb in your fact check?

FactCheck If they did use tear gas, why did President Trump and his security not wear masks as they crossed the street? Seems a bit odd to me.

FactCheck Shocker. I never knew they lied NOT.

nthonyBurtila FactCheck It's not a random system of supporters, it is the actual statement from the website: If they're lying, their lying. But, dyor is something AP has lost the capability of doing.

JaneDupree1 FactCheck We’re his lips moving?

FactCheck FakeNews

FactCheck Trump cannot speak the truth. The Senate should not have aquitted his impeachment. Are they afraid of Trump?

FactCheck Lol no they didn’t

FactCheck Does anyone else just get tired like really fucking exhausted from being lied to so often?

FactCheck Of, what they're not saying is: 1. Curfew 2. Protesters started throwing rocks, frozen eater bottles, and caustic chemicals.

Bliadhnaichean FactCheck Is that smog ..........or morning mist

FactCheck The “”Im not fat” I’m big boned”” excuse

FactCheck So they definitely used tear gas.

FactCheck To summarize: - Tear gas = tear gas - Pepper balls = pepper balls This story: - Pepper balls = tear gas

FactCheck The whole world saw it happen live and saw again many times on local news, now Trump(shitler) says it didn't happen

FactCheck

FactCheck The Trump Administration can only survive on the carnage of moral American citizens.

FactCheck Obama loved to tear gas. Ferguson and Baltimore to name a couple of cities.

FactCheck I saw another video of Trump walking to the church and funny there were no protesters there. Fake news again. Man you people are distorted!

FactCheck Don’t forget about the excessive violence with shields and batons used on unarmed peaceful protesters? When did using tear gas, rubber bullets, shields and batons start being used to move peaceful protesters? A few people taking advantage should be the focus not the peaceful!

FactCheck Oh please— rioters throwing bricks, frozen water bottles and attempting to grab police weapons were pushed back with smoke & pepper balls That’s proportionate force (less harmful than a fucking brick in the head) Congrats,you found a manual generically calling pepper teargas!

FactCheck Trump and the White House say that no tear gas was used. It was used. He lies as a matter of course. Hey, Mr. Cornyn, JohnCornyn, are you really happy supporting a perpetual liar? Seriously?!

FactCheck So, a person with severe asthma like me, probably would suffer potentially lethal effects for exercising my 1st Amendment Rights to peacefully assemble and protest?

FactCheck There’s probably some tear gas remnants in my face mask if you want to test it.

FactCheck Cry harder, you useful idiots.

FactCheck No tear gas was used.

JoyTaylorTalks FactCheck Whats the evidencia? If it was tear gas why would law enforcement just stand in it? All that was argued was between different types of riot control and tear gas

FactCheck So they lied.

FactCheck Do not tell me the White House lied about the use of tear gas, and MAGAs totally believed it! Shocked, I tell ya. Shocked!

FactCheck

FactCheck Proof of more fascist doublespeak from the Trump regime. Anyone supporting them is complicit. FascismHasComeToAmerica

FactCheck So, the White House presented ALTERNATIVE FACTS again? Not JUST Trump? When will they understand that we can SEE the truth, UNDERSTAND the lie, and REJECT a government that tries to coerce us during a pandemic, during protests, during a recession?

FactCheck Excellent. Perfect non-violent tool to use to disburse an angry mob of militants and terrorists who are in the act of committing multiple felonies. Should have tossed a few flash bangs in for good measure.

FactCheck You cant treat people that way.

FactCheck They should have done if they didn't.

overrunbydogs FactCheck The Trump Administration...

FactCheck For all of you arguing that it was pepper spray...did yiu READ the article. Read the research. Same symptoms; same results. Semantics.

FactCheck Tear gas may have been used earlier. Not sure. However, you are not going to do that moments before the president of the US takes a walk with cabinet members in the area. No amount of spin or silly headlines will make me believe this.

FactCheck Fake fuckin news as always! They never give up

FactCheck How a eugenics like theTrumps,god GOP party, Uknow the true patriots, would treat the masses. What a gratefully nation. May your god bless your tiny hearts. Oh google “Trump eugenics”, in case you been living under a rocket.

FactCheck Good!! Get the f*** out of the president's way

FactCheck So?

FactCheck Associated press fake news

FactCheck Let me just add that to the list of lies...

FactCheck So basically, smoke and pepper balls were used but you're still going with how the CDC classified compounds. Gotcha. More fake news. Give it up liars.

inmyownfashion2 FactCheck Must have been a tough story to investigate. So little to go on.

FactCheck No shock

Asher_Wolf FactCheck It's only tear gas if it comes from the tear gas region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling lachrymator vapor.

JustSayinNoTrip FactCheck As they should

FactCheck torture / enhanced interrogation.

FactCheck Why bother fact checking anything this lying POS says? He couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. It’s his nature to lie, cheat, steal, and act tough even though we know he’s a bunker coward.

FactCheck If it wasn’t used, it should have been

ParkerMolloy FactCheck Everyone:: Did you use chemical weapons on your citizens? Administration :: ...no? GOP:: Oh okay then. Carry on. Everyone Else:: But there’s evidence... GOP:: Well they said they didn’t so.

FactCheck Well, did it come from the Gasseaux region of France? If not, than it is simply just Sparkling Crowd Removal and not actual Tear Gas.

FactCheck Pepper spray (sometimes referred to as “OC spray“) is a combination of natural chemicals, whereas tear gas (also called “CS gas“) comes from man-made compounds.

FactCheck Props to Twitter for making it easy for the people to decide what's fact from fiction. Thank you. Let the debate continue and freedom of speech prevail!

FactCheck Because democrats at the AP can be trusted like all democrats.

FactCheck So let me get this straight. the AP is pro burning of church's now?

FactCheck The attorney general of the United States, whose job it is to represent the American people, ordered the dispersion of chemicals on American citizens.

Other Presidents in the world have denied use of chemical weapons against innocent citizens too….

FactCheck Wonder why the president and his crew were able to walk right through it then without it affecting them

FactCheck But but trump said no tear gas was used. It must be true. BunkerBiatch

FactCheck realDonaldTrump is gaslighting his followers, again.

FactCheck More evidence it was FLASH BANGS NOT CS GAS! from Morning Joe no less ..WilkowMajority

FactCheck Twitter tried to prevent him from lying and in less than 24 hours lol he has an executive order ready. Black people have been facing discrimination in America for YEARS, and we’ve seen endless prod of that..and he’s doing everything but the ONE thing he should do.

FactCheck Yes, they gassed people protesting peacefully. Trump is the most cowardly president in my lifetime. I hope someone locks him back in the bunker, bunker boy Donald Trump.

FactCheck The photo in this article shows police officers standing in the smoke (what you claim is tear gas). How much do you know about the protocols and safety measures that law enforcement would take before deploying tear gas. When 'fact checkers' lie intentionally, we are in trouble.

FactCheck Such propagandists...Not one law enforcement person pictured has GasMasks on..Don't you think if they were using TearGas they'd be wearing them. LyingLiberalMedia MockingbirdMedia

FactCheck Just say “the president lies”

FactCheck Cops weren't wearing gas masks. Not tear gas.

FactCheck

FactCheck If you got tear gassed its your own fault. Please stop playing victims of choas your choosing to be apart of. No one is forcing people to do this crap.

FactCheck Trump used tear gas on Americans so he could get a photo op!!! This shows precisely how Trump feels about Americans, our Democracy, and rights given to us all by our Constitution. FirstAmendment VoteTrumpOut2020

FactCheck Good job

FactCheck Any minute now he'll say he was 'being sarcastic' when he said he'd call in the military. Or, that he never said it at all!

FactCheck AHEM....these were smoke canisters. The media will play up this lie until the sun goes down. Why? Cuz' Trump. Speaking of Trump, it's interesting that he walked through this MINUTES LATER, and didn't so much as wheeze. Sooooo, there's that.

FactCheck I was fortunate to visit the White house when i was 14. Even at that age i knew not to jump the fence. The President didn't kill George.

FactCheck Maybe his intelligent was impaired. At any rate there's going to be some a mega class action lawsuits against the government The who CDC Bill Gates and other billionaire conglomerates we the people need to stand up and take back our land.

FactCheck Surprise surprise. CockaManny trump press secretary or whatever her job is LIED. CDC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR New Zealand News, BBC WORLD NEWS all reported trump ordered Secret Service, National Guard, DC Police to SHOOT RUBBER BULLETS, TEAR GAS and FLASH BANGS. MANY PROTESTERS got hurt.

FactCheck Nobody trusts AP fact check.

FactCheck He attacked them with a classified chemical weapon per CDC. He attacked his own people with chemicals weapons which are not even used on battlefield per Tammy Duckworth. Now he is building a compound. DictatorTrump Fascism

FactCheck If they dont want to suffer from tear gas, maybe dont burn down a church....

FactCheck Well, curfew was in 15 minutes. If that were true, why wasn’t POTUS et al affected? Hmmmm...wonder if the Messiah Obama had done the walk to the church to assure American people the church was okay after arsonists burned it, would the dialogue be different?

FactCheck I am so happy to hear that the press is there to stop another Trump lie!

FactCheck Yes, and the Australian government is demanding an investigation into why their reporters were brutalized there as well. The world is watching and Trump is failing us all.

iAmTheWarax FactCheck You had me at: 'president trump and some of his supporters are claiming' LiarInChief

FactCheck So you aren't going to mention the bottles, bats, and other weapons that were found at the scene? Of course not. You're a wing of the Democratic Party.

FactCheck I thought so. The footage with people gagging and frantically pouring liquids in their eyes, that wasn't just from smoke.

FactCheck Pardon me?

FactCheck President Trump will even deny his hair is orange colored if such a denial will serve his purpose.

FactCheck Trump lies so much it is not a surprise he would deny use of tear gas. Ask anyone there how their eyes felt!

FactCheck Can we shoot one at him and his supporters to see if they believe it's not tear gas?

FactCheck No they didn't or he and the Secret Service and the Press could not have walked through there themselves minutes later. I understand your readership is made up of illiterate losers, but they can't possibly be this stupid. BuildThatWall

FactCheck Oh wait.. so we’re trusting the CDC now? That’s laughable.

FactCheck 'There’s evidence they did.' 🙄 So many fake photos, vids and sources out there in media land. Media has a history of using old imagery and trying to pass it off as new imagery. And what about deep fakes (GAN)? I know they're using AI.

FactCheck You are FAKENEWS! It wasn’t tear gas!

DebraMessing FactCheck Trump lied I’m shocked.

hathaway_daniel FactCheck Oh really? Trump didn't admit it? But he always tells the t--oh, wait

FactCheck They can play semantics all the want - we all know that Trump and the Park Police gassed their own citizens. TrumpBunkerBoy Dictator

FactCheck Scarsmucci said that Trump would turn on the American people. The Republicans have emboldened him to be the dictator he’s always wanted to be. He acts like a slave master having police roundup his slaves to whip them into submission. There is no democracy! God save us!

dcolapinto FactCheck They had to use tear gas. They couldn’t take the chance that someone would be able to aim at Trump. Overall this was horrible of course. Shooting at Americans for no reason other than Trump is a gutless traitor that had to have a photo op

FactCheck They had every right to !

FactCheck We WATCHED as this event unfolded on LIVE national AND global tv! trumps severe narcissism pushed him to the EDGE as we have been fearing since the day he lied his way down his trump tower escalator! HE Unleashed Police State Violence on PEACEFUL protestors Employed w/ OUR tax $!

FactCheck And we would believe Trump and his supporters why? Trump has committed war crimes! End of story he should be arrested immediately!

FactCheck I don't care if the secret service used machine guns - can't let a mob breach the White House.

FactCheck Truth to be told, to avoid having police lose authority all over USA, because of isolated incident, there should be military, not police, defending public safety, including that of police. One from USA. Not 'international' and in small amount watching boarders.

FactCheck We don't care

FactCheck What a coward! How can anyone believe his lies! There is VIDEO EVIDENCE of police firing at people so he can take a fake ass picture!

FactCheck It was Pepper Spray children 🙄

FactCheck Yes I can see it in the air. Was obviously used

FactCheck Expired tear gas are more dangerous as the chemicals inside them can break down into cyanide oxide, phosgenes and nitrogens. Also they have the higher risk of faulty fuse and explosion. People, please stop just churning on the 'hottest' topics.

FactCheck Trump lies!!

FactCheck U ppl. Watch the video. U can’t walk through TG without a reaction. FakeNews Psalm 144:8 (NLT) Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.

FactCheck Pretty misleading. CDC Classifies anything that causes eye irritation as tear gas. He stated they used a pepper spray compound so he did not deny the accusation.

FactCheck Sorry FactCheck but even your photo shows officers standing *in* the smoke. You don't do that in tear gas.

FactCheck This country does not have a president . Something needs to be done very fast to correct all that has been destroyed , we need leadership not a man trying to be a dictator . It’s like there going out of there way to alienate the public to push mob rule . The problem no congress

FactCheck Fake news

FactCheck who cares? the rioters, looters, and murderers aren't good enough reason for tear gas? fcuk right off

FactCheck Why do we have to keep doing this? The “president” does a thing, we all see it with our eyes, the “president” lies about it, then we all run to our labs and dictionaries to find the correct definition of the thing we described and find out yea he lied, it was technically tear gas

FactCheck Does everyone realize they burned Lafayette Park and St. John’s church the night before , they are trying to burn down the White House like they did to the police station , he’s not stupid , they were allowing them to be close to nite house but they only have one motive

FactCheck Lawlessness and Disorder From cadetbonespurs And the pandemic plays on... TrumpDeathToll109K DumpTrump2020 ImpeachTrump CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1964 Racism is Unconstitutional BlackLivesMatter JusticeForGeorgeFloyd 'All men are created equal...' Why is this so hard?

FactCheck This administration & the trumpers can lie all day long but ppl are getting really used to their b.s. antics. You can't lie when everyone sees the truth with their own eyes!! The majority of USA citizens don't fall for that crap as easily as KAG does!!

FactCheck 'Evidence' is such a weird word here - if you were there, or watching any of the live footage streaming in from people who were there at the time, it's like, 'An APFactCheck confirms that it did indeed rain hard all day yesterday.'

FactCheck The truth came out. After more lies from the trump and co

DebraMessing FactCheck Trump's insane lies are for his MAGA cult members only. Here's a truly crazy video of one of the top MAGA supporters, former America's Mayor (now betrayer), Rudy Giuliani. As TheRickWilson says, 'Everything Trump Touches Dies.'

FactCheck This is simple: If the officers were all wearing GAS masks they were clearly intending to use GAS as a weapon. Period. You don't show up wearing a gas mask and then claim that gas was not deployed.

FactCheck I had friends at Lafayette Park that night and yes, it definitely happened. Plus, it was shown LIVE on TV...

FactCheck

FactCheck Gaseous hydroxychloroquine😉

FactCheck They should also read the letter from the St Johns priest who also was tear gassed

FactCheck Where are the gas masks for the horses? Gas masks for horses have been around since WWI? Horses panic if they can’t breathe just like George Floyd!

FactCheck So tell me why the police aren’t wearing masks.....they are in the crowd. This is why we distrust the news.

FactCheck Yea right!

FactCheck Right- they were flaming canisters of high grade kush meant to calm the crowd down in hopes they’d hallucinate and see Trump as ‘The Great Unifier’. An actual human being with a pulse and love in his heart.

FactCheck Even if he DID...SO WHAT?!

FactCheck If you think I would believe you then you are wrong.

cmclymer FactCheck We are living in a world where this administration (and people who support it) are trying to tell us that we're not seeing things we're literally seeing with our own eyes. These are dangerous times.

FactCheck A government that you can't trust a single word that comes out of their mouths when it comes to the welfare of US citizens. Let us sink in the next time you start reporting on what they're telling you about the cause and impact of covid-19 on black Americans not just tear gas

FactCheck Why are they protesting outside the WH anyway Floyd was killed by cops in Minneapolis in a city run by Democrats, a state run by Democrats. Trump had nothing to do with it

FactCheck They also beat the shit out of people

FactCheck These protests are being manipulated to try to destabilize President Trump's government and justify robberies and looting to install chaos and disorder.

FactCheck there's literal video of it happening. thousands of people, probably more, watched it happen live, not to mention the thousands of protestors who EXPERIENCED it.

FactCheck They are using semantics...CS gas (chemical mace) is considered 'tear gas'...but OC gas (pepper) does the same shit but is not technically the 'tear gas' most people that know, associate with pepper.

FactCheck Yes they did. Absolutely. No doubt. It was on TV.

FactCheck People were THROWING PROJECTILES at the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. They were told on loud speaker multiple times to move. They became more combative. They got their asses passively smoked because they like most asshats these days no longer have any respect for ANYTHING.

FactCheck They need to start shooting looters and those destroying property. Forget tear gas. Live ammunition time.

FactCheck This is fake news

susiezygy FactCheck In related news, Trumpco also reported George Floyd died from a bad case of gingivitis.

FactCheck It wouldn't matter if it was gaseous fairy floss, they used *riot control measures* on peaceful protestors.

morgfair FactCheck Perhaps it was Smilex.

FactCheck

morgfair FactCheck Blackwater Academi Erik Prince mercenaries have taken over Washington....

FactCheck White House is now tear-gas lightening everyone

FactCheck Sorry folks, my best guess that’s a smoke grenade. Not tear gas. Officers would not be standing in a cloud of gas. The rumor of gas was spread by fake media.

FactCheck pepper balls and pepper spray are not gaseous therefore it would be scientifically inaccurate to label them as 'tear gas'. they may all be within the scope of riot control agents (not synonymous with tear gas) , but not all are a 😲

FactCheck Is anyone surprised that realDonaldTrump and PressSec lied again? They don't care about Americans, they only care about themselves and re-election. Trump would happily sacrifice another 100,000 lives if it meant he'd get re-elected because he knows he's going to jail otherwise.

FDRforever FactCheck 'Trump lies again.' Fixed it.

FDRforever FactCheck Of course he denies it, he lies about everything! If he is saying something then the opposite is true!

sar_oso FactCheck Let trump demonstrate for us that it wasn’t tear gas. And maybe he can prove those rubber bullets won’t put his eye out. I would love for him to prove his studly manhood for all his Gestopo guys. He is a big macho man.. He is a fake. A liar, and those are the nicer things.

kasie FactCheck We watched it live. Insane that this administration is gassing and then trying to gaslighting people about it

FactCheck Didn't Assad deny it too?

kasie FactCheck Whaaa😱😱 45 caught in yet another lie.... surprising 🥴🙄

FactCheck We watched it with our own eyes and heard with pur own ears....45 and crew just lie about everything.

FactCheck lies

FactCheck You mean watching them do it on video wasn’t enough evidence?

FactCheck I’m not surprised. Fox cut the whole scene.

MGC3I FactCheck He didn’t even flinch when he was giving his speech because he knew EXACTLY what was coming! LIES LIES LIES!!!

FactCheck Simply can’t tell the truth

FactCheck I was watching it live on video and saw it.

sahilkapur FactCheck TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks AND demands that EVERY employee, supporter or lackey (see VP Mike_Pence ) also Lie for him

FactCheck

FactCheck Of course he would say that; he lies with ease in an attempt to control the narrative, and, hopefully fool the naive and unsuspecting.. that’s what he is counting on. Do not b taken in by his false words. This is not a man of honor or integrity.

FactCheck Another z world movie clip ?

FactCheck Well, what were we all looking at?

FactCheck Democrats first tried to impeach Trump. Tried to falsely charge General Flynn. Coordinated coronavirus with China and WHO. Want mail voting which is fraud. Planned a race war. All this is because the Democrats want to get rid of Trump by any means necessary before the election.

FactCheck According to USPP, they used smoke canisters and pepper balls. Can you check it with them?

FactCheck The AP is do full of shit that it stinks all around the world. The video evidence is VERY clear. The police did not wear masks. The Zpresident did not wear a mask. Are they impervious to the effects of tear gas? YOU ARE FAKE NEWS SND THE REASON THE 1st AMENDMENT IS DESTROYED

FactCheck We all saw it!!

FactCheck Wtf type of world is this where the presidency wants us to deny what our eyes have seen. Smh. Unbelievable.

FactCheck Trump denies trump

FactCheck No surprise here realDonaldTrump VP WhiteHouse GOP GOPChairwoman senatemajldr GOPLeader

AndreaChalupa FactCheck If it makes your eyes tear, it's tear gas

FactCheck Really do you know what tear gas is...if it was tear gas every cop out there would of had on gas mask.

FactCheck I approve of the tear gas. The rioters are a rowdy bunch.

FactCheck Lying liars gotta lie. It’s a well-known fact.

FactCheck Who ya gonna believe, us or your lyin eyes?

FactCheck “Trump lies about use of tear gas.” THATS THE HEADLINE.

FactCheck Of course they did. Lying as usual, I see

FactCheck This is the most fact free fact check ever.

FactCheck Thanks for telling everyone what they already know.

FactCheck wait, you define tear gas as “anything that makes you cry” wtf, AP. this is why no one believes the media, you guys lie too much. You made Trump. He’s your fault.

FactCheck So?

FactCheck With President truth and lies are one in the same.

FactCheck Multiple people recorded it tf

FactCheck Yeah, he also said he went to the bunker to “inspect” it. M’hm.. LiarInChief

FactCheck A liar and a thief

FactCheck There is literally a video of it.

FactCheck Lol he cannot think he can talk his way out of that. No way he's that oblivious 😂

FactCheck Unreal. A banned weapon of war. That WE BANNED

FactCheck 1984

FactCheck Somehow the police without masks are walking right through it and protesters are standing in it without effect...

FactCheck Never forget Trump ordered military police to violently attack peaceful American protesters

FactCheck This just proves, once and for all, that all news is fake news. Bunch of effn liars

FactCheck Let's leave the fact checking alone unless you can identify the person or persons whom perform the checks and provided 100 percent verifiable information. I will give you a source to utilize 'MSDS.' You are right, it's simply a play on words and both have and mean the exact same.

dcboyisangry FactCheck Another example of “Dont believe your eyes or ears. Just believe what trump tells you.” 🙄

FactCheck Unfuckingbelievable! He didn't go down to the bunker. Tear gas was not deployed. Next: he didn't hold a bible. He didn't have a photo op. He didn't call in the Army. He didn't call protesters 'thugs'. He was never president

FactCheck I'll save everyone from wasting their time. The AP has no evidence. They're just claiming pepper spray and tear gas are one and the same.

FactCheck If was fairy dust... and sprinkles... and rose pedals...

FactCheck A trump denial, surprise surprise!

FactCheck Some of his supporters...

FactCheck This is one of those WTAF moments... Because literally millions of people watched this live. Fuck this 'found evidence' BS

FactCheck Found evidence?! We saw it happen on LIVE TV! Really needed to try hard to find it did you? What will it take for you call them as straight up liars?

FactCheck Trump lied? Hard to believe.

FactCheck Why would you treat the American people this way. what’s wrong with you?

FactCheck They just hate the truth & facts like their Dictator. What did you expect from his brain dead support his anyway?

FactCheck So shocking that Trump lied

FactCheck According to Trump 'heavily armed forces' are ready to kneel on peaceful protester's neck... why bothered to explaining about which type of tear gas was used on Monday?

FactCheck The American military is forever tarnished,guilty for obeying an unlawful order from Trompe and will live in infamy for taking up arms and committing barbaric violence against American citizens,on American soil,while exercising their constitutionally protected rights to protest.

FactCheck Yeah he's lying...as always

FactCheck And this also is not happening right now!!!

FactCheck

FactCheck When the Youth are United we will never be Divided FuckYourMAGA

FactCheck Obvious to anyone with eyes. They're getting desperate.

FactCheck Cmblom2420

FactCheck Most people wipe their ass with AP fact checks

FactCheck No they used teddy bears to move everyone out of the way so a fat orange clown could have a bizarre photo op with a bible he has no idea how to hold nor has he ever read.

FactCheck What....it was alternate tear gas? Nov 3.....

FactCheck “Souped-up Paintball guns”. Great work everyone, I’m thinking about this article come awards season. Fingers crossed 🤞

FactCheck So what if they did these are violent protestors that are throwing bricks, shorting, and and throwing fire works and looting, tear gas isn’t going to kill them whereas throwing bricks shooting or fireworks can. It’s to send the message to stop

FactCheck ON LIVE TV, THATS WHERE ALL THE PROOF IS.

FactCheck pepper gas

FactCheck Actually the Park Police, who were there, are claiming that. It’s not “Trump and his supporters” you dishonest hack.

FactCheck Typical Trump response...it wasn't me...I didn't smell anything.

FactCheck I mean they clearly did. It's not like there weren't cameras there

FactCheck his claims are more lies
