Graham: When Obama Used Tear Gas at Border, They Said 'He Was Protecting the Country'
FoxNews Insider ^ | November 27, 2018

Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted the media and Trump critics for their attacks on the administration's use of tear gas on groups of migrants trying to cross the southern border.

Graham (R-S.C.) said that their "narrative that Trump is a cruel, heartless bastard only works if he uses tear gas on kids."

He referenced the Obama administration's repeated use of tear gas at the border, including in late November 2013.

"When he uses tear gas, he's protecting the country," Graham said of the left's coverage of Obama's actions.

“And it looks like GOP did not talk about this much at time or claim Obama was tear gassing the invaders.”

That’s because we don’t act like pathetic, hyperventilating, hair-pulling 8-year-old schoolgirl brats. Someone has to be the adults.

The media; what do they produce, whom do they profit?

They produce hate. This is blatantly obvious. They have the left hating the right, and the right hating the left.

Just whom profits from hate?????? Could it be??????

Well it aint the Church Lady!

becaus we believe in protecting and enforcing our borders, dems don’t. They didn’t scream about tear gas when BO did it because even if they disagreed with BO he is MR. CanDoNoWrong in their eyes. They scream now because they dont want our borders secured.

Thank you Senator Graham for pointing this out and reminding everyone about it.

I don’t know what happened to him nor if it’s going to last, but I’ll take what I can get for now and for now, he’s doing a bang up job.

Thankfully the Border Patrol keeps records of each time tear gas or pepper spray is used. Juan don’t know Jack.
