MSNBC reporter said cops fired teargas at them on purpose knowing who they were...

Ari said this just now.

Assume by fired on he meant tear gas, but they knew it was reporters and so on.

Putin and Bannon could not have written a better script.

1. Ali Velshi...he just got nailed again with tear gas.

2. Yes, it's tear gas, looks like quite a bit of it.

3. I'm so worried about Ali. The first day I was worried because he did not

have a good mask and at points no masks. Then yesterday and today he had a nk95 mask. Today a protestor was very close talking to him. Hopefully, he was not infected. Now he is getting hit with tear gas. I wish he would have continued to work from home. He is always such a team player..

4. This is unreal

5. They are using teargas to move the crowds back

and Ali is part of the crowd. It isn't like you can actually carefully control where the teargas goes. Fortunately Ali has a gas mask. However, he doesn't seem to like to wear it.

The goal is to keep the arsonists in the crowd from burning down more buildings tonight.
I am okay with that.

7. They were peaceful protesters, entirely unprovoked...FACT

[DURHAM D]

9. I am aware they were peaceful.

The problem is the few boogaloos among them that are waiting for it to get dark.

6. Don the Criminally Negligent Con wrote this script

Let him take credit

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. He is far too stupid for that, but Putin and Bannon and Moscow Mitch did and the traitor

is doing as he is told.
