Trump camp released a statement on Biden's speech claiming he "repeated the erroneous claim that protestors in Lafayette Park were tear gassed last night to clear a path for Pres. Trump, when Park Police says they used no tear gas."
Our @GarrettHaake was there. Read his account.
Hey Neal. I was there. Tear gas was definitely used, and park police cant 🤷🏼?♂️ that. And there was no object-throwing before the mounted park police moved in. Dont want to tell you how to do your job, but using a background source to deny observable fact seems like a bad call.
This was from tear gas. A block from the church.
