Attorney General Bill Barr on Monday evening defended President Trump’s surprise photo-op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church last week that occurred after peaceful protesters outside the White House were forcibly dispersed.
Bull crap Barr
It’s not the walk, it was the gassing of peaceful people and then trump waving a book he has never read. And he stood in front of a church after gassing people. Violence and then claiming Christianity. Even Pat Robertson was appalled.
Mr Barr, gassing folk and beating them with batons in the Name of Jesus will not get your man elected.
One other thing Mr Barr …those grenades had CS gas in them and hard rubber pellets that bruise at up to 50 feet distant.
So don’t try to bullshit me and say there was no chemical involved.
Mr Barr, please inform your boss that if he turns the Army on us he will get removed from office before the election… not by us but very likely by the Army. And he IS gonna get voted off the island for sure.
Absolutely, however, citizens exercising their constitutional right to protest also should be able to do so without being chemically assaulted during a police riot.
If all he had done was walk over to the church (even under guard) no one would be complaining you fat fucking fuck. It’s that he had, by your order no less, citizens and peaceful protesters gassed and shot at with ‘less lethal’ weaponry. But you knew that you fat, fat, fucking fuck!
Barr doesn’t seem to have grasped the fact that he has zero credibility with thinking people.
He’s a tool, and everyone knows it.
And no one believes him.
…the President of the United States should be able to walk one block from the White House out to the church of presidents,” Barr said.
Certainly, he should be able to do that.
But that he doesn’t feel unafraid doing it is an insufficient pretext for making it possible by force.
And it certainly doesn’t excuse his threatening to turn the US Army on what were, in the main, peaceful protestors exercising their right to assemble and petition for redress of their grievances.
…and the POTUS should be able to act like some semblance of an adult.
But here we are.
President Obama and his family did it regularly. So did previous Presidents. That’s why they call it the "Church of the Presidents! They didn’t need the equilavent of an invasion exercise befor they did. Trump needed it because of his racial policies.
When I think about Trump throwing the
Priest out of the church, I’m reminded
of Televisions Maude Findlay, who
would say “God will get you for that Walter!”
Remember how Lincoln’s Attorney General always had to lawsplain his photo ops?
“Barr Defends Trump Church Photo-Op: POTUS ‘Should Be Able To Walk One Block From WH’.”
Says the guy who can’t “walk one block” without a mobility scooter and oxygen tanks on arrival.
So let me get this straight. If there had been a bunch of anti-lockdown protesters without masks or anything surrounding the WH and a Dem president wanted to get out for a cheap photo op in Lafayette Squar and had the police violently clear the area, and then the AG claimed that “the president should be able to take a walk without fear of getting infected,” that would be totally cool?
Roger that.
So that’s why the medevac choppers were there.
To push Fat Nixon forward with the propwash.
…that he has, according to the pastor there, never once darkened the doorway of. Right.
Just once, Barr admit in retrospect it was not a good look. Sadly, he is incapable to level with the very American citizens who pay his salary.
Gassing of peaceful protestors and holding the bible for a photo-op became a real turning point galvanizing more and more to protest. Surely you know this and we do too!
Trump needs to get himself a PopeMobile.
Read the Constitution, asshole. And then read the FIRST AMENDMENT.
The PEOPLE have the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for redress. We have the right to walk the public streets – and that right cannot be abridged by His Lowness wanting to have a photo taken for his campaign.
Barr replied “no” before going on to argue that the image from the church photo-op “has somewhat been created and miscreated,” which he said was due to how videos capturing “all the violence that was happening preceding that” have not been aired.
My house has cameras that record what’s going on in front. I expect the Whitehouse has some too. If they have videos capturing violence, why haven’t they released them?
Still defending at this date is all the proof I need that they are full of regrets.
