We won’t be silenced by tear gas       and rubber bullets.”              US Park Police and other law enforcement officers pushed protesters and       journalists away from Lafayette Park ahead of Trump’s Rose Garden       appearance. The commander-in-chief then walked to nearby St. John’s       Episcopal Church to visit the historic, fire-damaged site.              “The president’s shameless, unconstitutional, unprovoked and frankly       criminal attack on protesters because he disagreed with their views shakes       the foundation of our nation’s constitutional order,” ACLU of the District       of Columbia legal director Scott Michelman said. “And when the nation’s       top law enforcement officer becomes complicit in the tactics of an       autocrat, it chills protected speech for all of us.”              The lawsuit seeks an order declaring that Trump, Barr and other       administration officials violated the protesters’ First and Fourth       Amendment rights, as well as damages for the plaintiffs, according to the       ACLU.              Two days later, Trump defended the visit, saying he was unaware that       protesters would need to be cleared out of his way ahead of his stop at       St. John’s.              Barr, meanwhile, has explained his decision to remove the protesters,       saying the move to extend a perimeter around the White House was made       Monday to protect federal property and law enforcement officials.              “There were projectiles being thrown and it was becoming increasingly       unruly,” Barr said Thursday. “They were asked three times if they would       move back one block. They refused and we proceeded to move our perimeter.”                            --       No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.              Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in       denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car       parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump       truck.              Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster       of the Obama presidency.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,       appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.              Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February       5, 2020.
