Trump calls tear gas reports 'fake news,' but protesters' eyes burned just the same, and it was live streamed
To counter criticism of his Monday photo op outside St. John's Church, President Donald Trump and his allies have seized on news reports that police used 'tear gas" to clear what appeared to be peaceful protesters so he could make his dramatic walkover from the White House, branding them"fake news.""It's said that a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on," said Tim Murtaugh, the Trump 2020 communications director.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,"tear gas" isn't a specific chemical compound but a blanket term for chemical agents used for riot control that cause temporary respiratory distress. Compounds including mace and pepper spray fit the CDC's definition. It also details injuries allegedly sustained by several people who attended, including cuts, scrapes and bruises.
The president at the same time capitalized on the opportunity to call out"fake news" for using the term, retweeting a Molly Hemingway article from the Federalist he called"a must read" titled:"Media Falsely Claimed Violent Riots Were Peaceful And That Tear Gas Was Used Against Rioters" along with several tweets saying,"FAKE NEWS!"
