Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI agree with most of what you are saying. Here is the deal - the act of clearing them out is an act of complete and total disrespect for who they are, what they are protesting, for why they are there. It's totally the wrong move. This nation needs him to be dealing with the issue in a constructive and productive way. Tear gassing the protesters for a photo op? That is not telling the protesters Trump hears what they are saying or understands why they are there. It sends the opposite message, that they are worthless chaff that are in his way.
I also think someone (in this thread) mentioned that it was past the curfew and since the protestors have already destroyed public monuments over the last few days, I think a curfew is a good idea.

Just spoke with Rev. Gerbasi.
She told me that law enforcement with shields forced priests, others *off the church patio,* meaning they stepped on church property to expel people from it.
Hard to comprehend this as anything more than a hasty action to take the focus off of Biden's church visit earlier today. What a disaster.

GOP leaders are defending the act as necessary, not denying the two events were correlated.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Sparko View PostPS, I don't agree with the whole move by Trump to go over to the church for a photo op. I think that was incredibly self-centered and narcissistic and is not the act of a Christian. Posing with a bible as if to say "Look how holy I am!" is just wrong.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThe GOP is acknowledging they are linked MM. That excuse is done and doesn't fly. I'm sure you'll find others.
Top Republican senators are defending the use of police force to clear out peaceful protesters near the White House that allowed President Donald Trump to pose with a Bible in front of a church amid the continued unrest in the United States.
Two unrelated events are being made to appear related: The people were cleared out, and Trump visited the church. Nowhere in the story does it say that the people were cleared out because Trump wanted to visit the church. The rest of the article uses sliced-and-diced quotes with the reporter's own words filling in the gaps, so it's impossible to know what they really said.
Don't be so eager to denounce the President that you're so easily taken in by this kind of yellow journalism.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post"Linked" in what way? Where is it confirmed that this was ordered by the White House? Your CNN story doesn't support that assertion. Look at the first paragraph again:

“ It was painful to watch peaceful protestors be subjected to tear gas in order for the President to go across the street to a church I believe he’s attended only once.”

"that allowed"
The are directly related. The equivalent statement is: They were cleared "so that" the president could walk across and do his photo op.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Correlated, here is chilling video captured live on air of police assaulting Australian Press yesterday.
