FUCK THESE CRETINS

Top Republican senators defend Trump's church photo-op after peaceful protesters cleared out

(CNN)Top Republican senators defended the move to use force to clear out peaceful protesters near the White House in order for President Donald Trump to pose with a Bible in front of a church amid the continued unrest in the United States.

Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the GOP leadership team, said the protesters had to be cleared out "for security purposes" since Trump was "walking over to the church" and they were asked to clear "but refused to do so."

"So obviously, it was a necessary security measure," Cornyn told CNN. Cornyn rejected the notion that they were acting peacefully since they can't "ignore what law enforcement officers are telling them to do for the security of the president or anybody else."

Asked if the President should have gone to the church for a photo-op that led to tear gas and other measures to be used on the protesters, Cornyn criticized the media and others who are "never going to find any good or any positive development in anything. So you can characterize it the way you want, but obviously the President is free to go where he wants and to hold up a Bible if he wants," calling it a "civil message."

5. Oh, you sad, sad, pathetic scrotum.... nt

[Moostache]

6. Trump missed the biggest opportunity he is going to get...

He could have handled that differently and seized the spotlight and the narrative to make himself actually look brave and sincere (which he will NEVER BE) instead of cheap huckster (which he IS)...

Trump should have gone out to face the demonstrators with a Secret Service advance team creating a security corridor and bringing in screened protesters for an impromptu discussion. He could have hand picked the people he wanted to be on screen and he could have done a lot to quell the anger in the country...

WTF am I thinking? OF COURSE the moron-in-chief is not making it any easier on the country or actually giving a damn about leading the nation or healing its wounds. Fuck Donald Trump, hard, with rusty garden tools, for a very long time...

7. These fuckers used to defend the Constitution

One fugly dude who needs to be shuffled off to the funny farm and sedated.

He is a disgusting human whose own skin looks like it is trying to escape...

[JHB]

10. So Grassley is publicly calling Trump a liar?

Trump's li(n)e of the day is that no gas was used. One of his usual bald-faced lies, but I suppose a hat-tip to Grassley for inadvertently contradicting him.

[struggle4progress]

14. Teargas keeps fallin on my head

and just like the hundred thousand covid nineteen dead
Cornyn doesn't care

That teargas keeps fallin on my head. It keeps fallin

So I just did me some talkin bout that jerk
And I said I didn't like the way he does no work
He's sleeping on the job

That teargas keeps fallin on my head. It keeps fallin

But there's one thing I know
The gas they send to meet us won't defeat us
It won't be long til November comes to greet us

Teargas keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will always be so red
Crying's not for me
cause I'm never gonna stop that jerk by complaining

Because we'll see
how we set ourselves free

[RKP5637]

15. Damn. he really looks like Mr. Magoo! n/t

16. Cornyn needs to be voted out.

Cornyn is a Trump toady and McConnell sidekick who needs to be voted out.

[unblock]

19. Republicans's idea of freedom includes gassing anyone in their path

I'm sure if Hillary or Obama or Biden did the same thing they'd be fine with it

26. But they HAD to be cleared out!

How else would it be safe for God Emperor Hair Furor to appear outside and show America that he was unafraid of them, from behind a swarm of agents??

[Runningdawg]

27. You have to wonder how they would react to ANY other POTUS, not just Obama

clearing a church by FORCE.
One minute its supposedly the SS who made the call to take the whiney little coward to the WH bunker to "protect" him from protesters separated from him by one of the most secure perimeters in the nation and the next day deem an area immediately OUTSIDE that perimeter that had to be cleared BY FORCE, safe enough for him take a stroll.

[onethatcares]

28. old, out of touch assholes

they think they can take it back to the slavery days and really want to.

We have to find a way to beat their vote suppression and defeat it soundly

They also call for getting rid of those that have been in D C for so long, but never include themselves.

Gaud I'm sick of this shit.

[Grins]

29. I would have written one paragraph differently.

“Asked if the President should have gone to the church for a photo-op...” Cornyn DIDN’T answer the question!

Cornyn instead pointed at the Reich’s favor target, the media, adding the vicious orange viper is free to go where he wants.

Why didn’t the reporter come back with, “That wasn’t the question. SHOULD he have gone at all?”

Make him sweat

[Hav]

31. You heard it, the President is free to go where he wants

Make some room, peasants!
