Thread. Park police say tear gas not used to clear Lafayette Park Monday night, and that the park was not cleared to make way for Trump walk, but because of objects being hurled at police.

Multiple GOP senators criticize Trump’s church stunt: ‘Don’t know what point the president was trying to make’
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) criticized Trump for going to the church for his photo op right as the curfew in Washington D.C. went into effect.
If he’d have gone out there yesterday morning rather than right before curfew, that would have been a non-issue,” he said. “The whole appearance at that time, right before curfew, I thought was wrong timing.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) similarly said he was confused by what the president was doing.
“I don’t know what the point the president was trying to make,” he said. “Trying to restore order is a good thing, attack on a church is a terrible thing. I don’t think it advanced the ball one way or another.”
And Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said he didn’t see the need to clear out peaceful protesters with teargas, while also saying he wished law enforcement officers would do “soul searching” when it comes to use of force.
I think you’ve gotta do better than that,” he said. “I think it was a peaceful protest.”

Archbishop hammers Trump’s ‘reprehensible’ Catholic shrine visit after ‘the use of tear gas’ to ‘silence’ and ‘intimidate’
I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.
