During a briefing Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany explained to reporters, specifically CNN's Jim Acosta, that the police and other law enforcement officers have the right to defend themselves. Her comments came after the Trump administration was accused of having "peaceful protestors" tear gassed and physically removed from Lafayette Park on Monday evening.
"No tear gas was used and no rubber bullets were used," McEnany explained. "No-one was tear gassed, let me make that clear. That's been confirmed by DOD and Park Services as well."
"Let me go back and address what happened, there has been a lot of misreporting," she continued. "The protestors were told three times over loud speaker that they needed to move and what happened was it grew increasingly unruly, there were projectiles being thrown at officers, frozen water bottles were being thrown at officers, various other projectiles and the offers had no other choice than in that moment to act and make sure that they were safe and that the perimeter was pushed back because as we all know a church was burning in that very area the night before so the appropriate action was taken...It's absolutely uncalled for to thrown bricks. Absolutely uncalled for to throw water bottles that are frozen at police officers."
Press Sec Disputes Allegation That Police Used Tear Gas Against Peaceful Protestors
Meanwhile, a number of U.S. military units have been moved to the Washington D.C. should unrest in the city continue.
The Pentagon has ordered forces and bases in the Washington D.C. area to "Force Protection Condition Charlie," a threat condition that indicates "likely" targeting of military forces and or terrorist action and the second highest alert level available.The state of higher alert was ordered as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
“Kayleigh McEnany and Katie Pavlich are my two up and coming rising stars.
But why has my other favorite Candace Owens been missing in action as of the past few months?”
I agree. Emily Compagno is also good.
I’m guessing that Candace Owens is probably spending a lot of time in Great Britain since her husband (George Farmer) is British.
I worked at two network stations early on in my career. Kayleigh being cut off was by CHOICE... NOT by CHANCE!
How do you get OANN? Live steaming? Off air? Cable TV?
Or Newsmax TV, or OANN (which is where Chanel comes from)
I’ve been requesting OANN from Comcast along with many others. They refuse to offer competition to NBC. Verizon FIOS supposedly carries it. Not sure how others view it
A modified version was included in the Biden-Thurmond Violent Crime Control Act of 1991 which was later included
in Bill Clinton's controversial 1994 crime bill which Hilary vociferously endorsed, deriding Blacks as "super-predators" in her comments.
No it wasn’t FOX
It was Dana
she thinks she is the best Press Secretaries EVER!
And thinks she is still doing the daily briefing so she cuts off the present one who ROCKS BIG TIME and is soooo much better than Dana. Kayleigh McEnany.
which is the name of her fox show, the daily briefing.
She’s a looooser big time...Clymer? LOL
This one is with 2 cute puppies
Nah, I doubt she’s ever committed the heinous act! Probably turns the lights off too.
I don’t watch FOX much at all anymore. Only when my husband is home and he turns it on, They are as bad as the rest now that the liberal “children” have taken over. SAD but just another nail in the coffin. OAN is it and local channel for weather then I turn the TV off.
We have ATT-Now streaming and we get OANN there. You can also go to the OANN website. https://www.oann.com/
Try it!
That’s the right response, but I don’t see it as a “pummelling”. Perhaps it loses some force in the transcript.
ATT-Now Streaming? Did you know ATT owns CNN?
But, facts do not matter to the Left/Socalists. Party is God and facts be damned.
Careful with Katie Pavlich - she was one of the NeverTrump NRO signers.
It’s official. The media and the Democrat party are anti-police.
What about the black retired sheriff that was shot? Is the media talking about that?
Due to the stopping power it offers, it's also one of the most widely used types of buckshot ammunition for home defense. 00 shot sends nine large caliber pellets flying at over 1,300 feet per second, and is powerful enough to go through car doors, metal panels and whatever else you may be shooting.

Today, low recoil and coated shot make 00 buck a great choice for home defense.
