trumps government, first lie, then claim later you lied about lying, Hope by then nobody cares, rinse, repeat.

So our “president” used chemical weapons on American citizens. Think about that. This is not the America we thought we lived in.

TheDaveInRI WE already knew this, based on the eyewitness accounts alone.

Uhmm, we knew.

Big Gestapo energy smh

Nothing to see here folks... just a President crapping all over your civil rights. And those of you on his side: one day the tables will be turned and someone will use today as precedent to stop your peaceful protest.

The white Americans that have been supporting the attacks on peaceful protests a 1st amendment right are the same people screaming covid-19 stay at home and wearing masks are unconstitutional. Such hypocrisy.

Of course they used pepper spray and of course they lied about it. Sad!

And how about plowing through the peaceful with shields?

So what? 🤨

They also said they didn’t use tear gas which Trump later said they did

At some point, the news media will need to be accountable for their hand in instigating violent protests, arsons and murders. This is a classic example of 'stirring the pot' just to to start shit.

The statement was that no tear gas was used. You know that. You know it wasn't used. You lied and ran a sorry. Then you lied in the correction.

What? Its on fucking video all over twitter!?

Arm them all with guns, sod pepper spray!

The real question is why did only one of them use it? The rest should be reprimanded for not using it.

Trump 2020

So

Don’t care

The church is holy ground purely loved, do,not let your mouth cause your flesh,to,sin,nor,say,that it was an error,,why,should the Lord be angry at your excuse, and destroy the works of your hands, because he,IS alpha and omegs God are above all God's ,that's why,

Oh no, not pepper spray! 🤣

Хоть здесь говорят правду

The church is holy ground, and Jesus teaching said love your neighbor as yourself, he did not discriminate against anyone, instead, he loved all people's, all being, and taught that we are one, in The eyes of your heavenly father, love IS the key to the father house,

All hands on deck , The Bunker Man is coming .

Who cares?

Just another lie. More lies. Every day.

Liars- liars must be Trump supporters!!

Thank you USSS for your honesty. It's refreshing. Even if your actions were terrible.

Oh the horror of it all! Sensationalized non-news story from the leftist agitators at NBC.

So they lied?

Police that falsify reports or statements should be charged, their pensions should be forfeited, and they should never be allowed to serve in law enforcement again.

All these acts, by all corners of the executive branch under tRump, so beautiful, perfect and justified that they must be denied.

Your job my be to protect the President 'US Secret Service' but the rights of AMERICANS need to be respected being ordered to harm US Citizens without Provocation is Unexpectable Period. Unless this is your current state of mind.

But only one so that OK

Due to an “assaultive individual” but leave that out

And tomorrow the 'one agent' will be 'some agents' etc.

'Reversing?'

Just using the old-Trump- backtracking-my-statement, what I meant to say- the opposite instead

Pres TRUMP MAGA2020 Another 4 coming up crew. Good will defeat evil, and we will ALL matter !

Lying won't work in this day and age where everyone has a mobile 'video camera' in their hands....😇

Not letting go of this story eh? 🙄

Well duh people ain’t stupid the Know what pepper spray taste and feel like sad that they LIED about it as if the American people are stupid. Pack realDonaldTrump his family and staff members and dump their bodies in the Lake Okeechobee

I’ll take pepper spray over bullets every damn day.

That isn’t a reversal. They didn’t clear the park for President Trump to look at the damage of the church. They cleared the park and a created a larger parameter. This action in hindsight was the best corse of action.

So the Trump administration lied? I'm shocked 🙄

Imagine that?

Who cares

They lied.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Terrible!!!!!!!

In other words, video showed irrefutable proof, so they were forced to stop lying for Trump?

Just say it: 'The SS lied.'

‘One’...?

Hi_Biancaaaa

Should’ve used a bit more if ya ask me.

The Trump stench has permeated the Secret Service. I cannot wait til we can cleanse the nation of the vile, repulsive realDonaldTrump

It was pretty stupid to deny it in the first place since there was video evidence showing the truth.

Good

no shit sherlock everyone watched them do it 🤦🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️😂

Or as Trump calls them, the SS

Of course they did! Everytime the White House doors open lies & the Virus are flying out of there like flies! That's a dangerous place to be right now, it's know telling what's in there, pretty scary!

Oh puleez!!! Who cares

Good job

Anyone really still believes what Trump and the ppl who follow his orders?! 🤷‍♂️

They lost the title USSS, that day when trump correctly renamed and referred to them as the S.S. I shall never refer to them as anything else, they lost all honor that day.

How well did it work? Did those refusing to disperse continue their stupidity?

Will Bill Barr state publicly that he believes lying is going on? Evidence would seem glaring. Barr had no problem stating he thought spying was going on, without benefit of evidence.

We already know who ordered it-AG “ Barf” . “ Senator Harris, I’m just trying to understand the meaning of the word suggest”. What a piece of sh.. Barf is.

REALLY, it took them this long to tell the truth? Why, because they got caught lying just like AG “ Barf” and Bunkerboy? Group lying DOES NOT WORK. How many times do they need to be caught to impress that on them?

Why would anyone have believed otherwise? No one believes anything that comes from Trump or anyone in his administration. Even considering believing them is ridiculous.

Whole of America knows it happened. They should know which SHITHOLE in the Administration gave that order!

US Secret Service should lock up Trump in the bunker and lose the key. It’s time they did something to protect US instead of the deadbeat Trumps.

I bet Bill Barr and Trump made that order on innocent peaceful protesters who were not violent and not being a threat.

“The EYES have it!”💨💨👀💥🔥🔥😭

the pepper spray story only came after everyone realized the tear gas story was a LIE, if you tell the truth the first time, people may start to believe what you are saying, but for now we don't really know what the truth is about a lot of things, and probably never will.

You said tear gas liars. Caught in another LIE

Good. It was a violent riot. These people have a large life lesson headed their way. Unavoidable now. You will witness how weak they are. On behalf of a dead officer, beaten officers, beaten business owners, their businesses burned.

Well duh. We all watched it live on tv.

You guys specifically said teargas was used, you lied.

Ok, now admit it was under orders from the White House and not just because you thought it might me a cool thing to do.

Wait, that means the president did not tell the truth? 😱🤔🤪😷

I cant watch you anymore. Your coverage of Atlanta is disgusting. This station does nothing but give law enforcement a bad rap. Your correspondents are disgusting

That video was clear! drewbrees

Could someone announce this to Bill Barr as we all knew this already!

Plenty of unruly protesters that needed to be kept in check. Every needs to follow the law.

Cristobal Colon 🇪🇸 550 years a go and 🇺🇸 actual history ignorance

“One” of their agents...guess somebody had the group chat on ignore.

So what. Those terrorists were in that park ILLEGALLY. STOP apologizing to these 💩s for doing your LAWFUL JOB.

So I can’t use my personal pepper spray can when I need to?

So one agent used pepper spray?..but not the tear gas like you guys reported?

One?lol

OMG.....😴😴😴

In a day or two it will be “so there were actually 2 guys with pepper spray, but we didn’t know them”

I'm sharing this with trump!

MSNBC was saying everyone got Gassed. Make up your minds what the narrative is. Officers said to move. Some protesters did some didn’t. Then there were bricks, frozen water bottles and other things thrown at them. They were warned then actions were taken for the safety of POTUS!

I thought the media said they used tear gas? Make up your damn minds

u do not need pepper spray.

So what

Did they say why they're owning up to it?

1 CIA EMPLOYEE USED PEPPER IN RESPONSE TO ASSULTIVE INDIVIDUAL NOT THE WHOLE AGENCY OMISSION IS LYING ALSO

You forgot to include this important point in the Secret Service report: “...in response to an assaultive individual.” An important point you omitted to drive your politically biased story.

AG Barr said Sunday morning on CBS morning news show that they did use pepper balls..not chemicals! So somebody needs to get the story straight!

MeetThePress This is news, we saw it happening live.

Trump lies like a rug.

Good !! They should have used more !!

One of their agents? So?

GOP WhiteHouse So what's the story guys

Funny thing about lies there are lots of variations , but with the truth there are none! They cleared the area using violence against peaceful US citizens legally protesting to provide a photo op for Trump. The military were present and complicit.

MeetThePress One? Which one? Where was s/he posted? How many 'rounds' did this individual possess? How many were fired? How many 'suspected' sounds of canisters being fired are on the video? How many canisters were visible on the video? How many canisters were found and where? Roll tape!!

Anothe bogus headline from nbc. When reading the story it was isolated.

All so bunkerbabytrump could try to look tough. Each day is a new low from this maladministration.

Initially all agencies, along with the President and the Attorney General lied and continued to lie until it was proven otherwise. Is this the new normal?

MeetThePress Just saw a COPS episode, on WGN Chicago today (Sat PM), a 20 year old replay, but it was all white cops chasing down black people, seemed as fresh as ever.

DougKass good. should have used more of it.

“One” of their agents!!? Yeah right. DumpTrump2020 cnnbrk

DougKass Liars just like trump, shocking

No wonder Trump was calling them the S.S.

It’s amazing how Trump and his cronies can cause otherwise good people to behave in ways they never would otherwise. It’s time to say you no longer need to “respect the office” when they are telling you to lie, cover-up or be unconstitutional! WorstPresidentEver

Pepper spray your boss

They should have left ehen asked to

So nothing

Because Antifa was not clearing the path.

Well, well...now he even has them lying!

They also used tear gas we all watched it live. All that for a cheap photo-op and to go to hold a book that he has never read before a day in his life.

anything to do with executive branch means 'Lie first, keep lying.... then only back down quietly days later when the video and public testimony is insurmountably against you.. then lastly, change the subject with some MAGAIDIOT dog whistle topic.

MeetThePress So what!

Wait! You mean Barr lied?

As they should have...protesters are a bunch of thugs

Fire the director

Disappointing to read when the protesters would not have been any threat to the President if he hadn't walked across the park.

Now they should fess up to the teargas.

SaraJaneMaki No way DOJ lied, I’m stunned. POS Barr I expect big secret service? Pretty sad and weak

Seems to me the bottom line is anyone who works for realDonaldTrump can not be trusted and as of lately we’ve learned law enforcement also can’t be trusted. Government officials can’t seem to understand why America is pissed. Doesn’t seem that complicated.

Trump’s SS.

Trump lied, Barr lied, this was criminal and it’s time we stop playing with these people. Barr ordered our troops to attack peaceful protesters!!!

No one cares. ...

Use pepper spray, rubber bullets, tear gas: the works. Get them off the streets. Let mom know they're out there and let her come for them:

Nice going team S.S. bet you feel so fucking tough now for it. How's it feel to protect another Hitler? Disgraceful

Gee wonder how many of their terrorists, I mean agents they're covering for since they lied about one

So Trump tear gassed Americans citizens so Trump could have a Photo taken in front of a church.

what happened to telling the truth in the first place?

That’s great the secret service is lying now too Secret Service Truth

Soooo...this might be too quick for me...but they lied? *looking for my Susan Collins level of concern and pearls to clutch*

So?

It was more than pepper spray.

Why hide the truth

one?

Yeah - we saw it on camera 🙄🙄🙄

For God's Sake! The media has video of that event. Maybe Secret Service needed to read the Constitution.

US Secret Service said Saturday that one hundred of their agents used tear gas to clear protesters from Lafayette Square ahead of President Trump’s photo op, reversing an earlier statement claiming that no one from the agency had done so.

SO what the little low lifes had bricks and weapons

Good! Who cares.

The Trump administration is about to re-classify pepper spray as an edible spice to make their original lie true.

Shocker
