Trump ordered tear gas on protesters so he could stand in front of a church and hold up a bible.

Now you have Trump supporters illegally on Capitol grounds and there's no tear gas.

Tells me all I need to know. You know if it was BLM or Antifa the cops would be cracking heads. But it's the MAGA crowd so they get the kid gloves treatment.

Nobody's heads should be cracked. We are better than this as a country.

Play the game as it's meant to be played. Let the MAGAs throw their tantrum and then use the footage as propaganda. Spin it to the American people that it's Charlotsville all over again. That's how it's done right guys?

BLM and Antifa attack the police and hurt innocent people. All I see are people peacefully marching on a lawn here.

And Trump didn't order tear gas when he stood in front of that church. Another media lie.

Trump and his supporters will call these terrorists patriots because the rules are different for them.

Default Hundreds storm Capitol barricades; two nearby buildings evacuated; Trump falsely tells thousands he won

The latest developments:

Hundreds of Trump supporters stormed through metal barricades at the back of the Capitol building about 1 p.m. Wednesday, running past security guards and breaking fences.

Capitol Police ordered evacuations of two Capitol campus buildings — the Library of Congress James Madison Memorial Building and the Cannon House Office Building, both just across Independence Avenue from the Capitol.

D.C. police said they made 10 arrests Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday at pro-Trump demonstrations, while Park Police made one arrest. Charges included weapons violations and assault.


You know that if this was a crowd of Democrats, by now they'd be tear gassed, the dogs would have been let loose on them, and the National Guard would have been called in. And that's just for starters.

So much for the party of law and order.

You are right he didn't order it but he made it clear he wanted to be safe walking in front of the church for a photo opportunity.

And -- you might want to google a bit -- there are full on riots with officers being attacked by folks with Trump flags --- actually using Trump flags to hit officers. Video is all over the internet.

Check out the other thread. Trump supporters shoving cops, shoving barricades, some getting pepper sprayed. The "peacefully marching" didn't last long.

Okay, he personally didn't order it but somebody in his chain of command did.
