The U.S. Secret Service on Saturday announced it had used pepper spray to clear protesters out of Lafayette Park before President Donald Trump’s photo op in front of a church, walking back earlier denials that it had deployed the chemicals on demonstrators.

“After further review, the U.S. Secret Service has determined that an agency employee used pepper spray on June 1st, during efforts to secure the area near Lafayette Park,” the Secret Service said

Хоть здесь говорят правду

No shit. We already knew that.

Don't care any longer.

That’s okay with me!

The was military grade tear gas, used on American citizens.

SS. Gestapo.

Marched On our rights and attacked our citizens by this Admin. Vote November

The secret service initially LIED when they said that they did not use pepper spray. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. They LIED. English has a lot of words to choose from. Choose wisely. If not, you are complicit.

And tear gas!! Stop denying !! Look photos.Sick of you people! VOTE VOTE!!

Wtf, everyone saw the film!!!

We know

Oh boy that’s so terrible- we heard about this for a week

Good

Well of course.

Weren't they required to clear the area by 8pm? Did they not follow police orders?

Lie

So?

👏🏻

Keep going, we saw in real time what was done.

Lo fyckin l .... :

Protecting the boss.

This makes William Barr, a purported staunch Catholic, a big-time SINNER and LIAR to boot.

Pelosi photo op with sacred cloth was disgusting. Old hug couldn’t get off the floor 😂😂😂

Thats not news

Good. Thugs were asked several times to leave.

Good

Thank you for telling the truth, unlike our leader who consistently lies.

Yes, after they were warned to leave 3 times.

One agent used pepper spray. One. Against a protester trying to assault him. Let me fix your headline: The Secret Service announced that only one agent used pepper spray against a single protester in clearing out Lafayette Park.

Of course they did. Trumps brown shirts would have shot people if they thought they could. Many of these were blackwater mercenaries

Not what the report said. FakeNews

I thought AG Barr said they didn't... or is he capable of telling several lies at the same time?

Still better than taking a chunk of pavement to the face

hmmm....pepper spray neatly packaged in a canister......I think they call that *Tear Gas*

They should all be charged

Who the hell cares what they used?..they were told to leave and didn't..y'all need to grow up!

Did it though? I don't recall a single story involving a response from the Secret Service, only the Parks Department.

And WHY was it necessary to use on peaceful protestors well before any curfew?

Canceling TV shows, Movies, Disney rides, Paw Patrol, Washington, Jefferson.... How many more examples do you need to Demonstrate that Liberalism has lost its way? no more cancel Culture. Draw the line. America is good, and we must stand up for her.

they deserve it

Duhhh

Pepper spray is NOT teargas, fake news always uses a narrative most negative without any research. Then the feed this BS narrative to push their propaganda. Pepper spray is used against a wrong doer, teargas is used indiscriminately against everyone. Huge difference.

So they used non-lethals instead of bullets? How is this even a story?

Good! They were asked 3 times to disperse.

Trump is being hit by the truth left, right and center. Neither he nor Barr had admitted gassing the peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park. Wonder how they feel now with the SS & the NG declaring the real truth.

That was obvious!

No Kidding

FYI Johnny Knoxville said the worst pain he's ever experienced was being pepper sprayed. That says something lol. And the authorities brag about this like it's a good, humane thing

They denied the use of tear gas. They never denied the use of pepper spray. And it was pepper spray made from organically grown peppers, which makes it practically healthy.

Oh my. This is big news? Move on....

We already knew that. But it's nice they confirmed it to everyone. They used tear gas too. It's not the first tie tear gas has been used in DC for protests.

Yeah, we know. We all watched it on TV and live-streams. Then they denied it for two weeks.

Cool don't care 👍

Pepper spray. You can buy it at Walmart. Grow up.

Who cares

Secret Service now says it did use pepper spray to clear protesters during the Trump church photo opUS Secret Service said Saturday that one of their agents used pepper spray 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. The Trump administration is about to re-classify pepper spray as an edible spice to make their original lie true. Shocker For God's Sake! The media has video of that event. Maybe Secret Service needed to read the Constitution.
