Friendly Reminder That Tear Gas Was Used At The Border Regularly Under Obama

Liberals cannot BELIEVE that Border Patrol used tear gas against men who were throwing rocks while shielding themselves with women and children. This is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue!

The tear-gassing of women and children at the border is an atrocity. It’s a violation of human rights. And it is a grotesque betrayal of our founding promise, as a nation built by immigrants.

I’ve called for @UN inspectors on the border, and I reiterate that call today. https://t.co/k5mXSs0oFU

She’s going to tattletale and call the big scary UN on us. That’s nice.

They deserve to be treated in a humane way by our nation- not met w/ uncalled-for violence. I will continue fighting this Administration’s senseless immigration policies and continue advocating for adequate funding to process and help asylum seekers.

No. Men who use women and children as human shields do not deserve to be treated with a gentle touch.

You tear-gassed women and children, asswipe! And on Thanksgiving weekend, you piece of shit, asshole, motherfucking, evil-creature-person!! https://t.co/ngaAlnhWa0

WOW. She’s maaaaaad! Was she this mad when the same thing happened ONCE A MONTH under Obama?

The same tear-gas agent that the Trump administration is taking heat for deploying against a border mob this weekend is actually used fairly frequently — including more than once a month during the later years of President Barack Obama’s administration, according to Homeland Security data.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has used 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, or CS, since 2010, and deployed it 26 times in fiscal 2012 and 27 times in 2013. The use dropped after that, but was still deployed three times in 2016, Mr. Obama’s final full year in office.

I don’t even know why I’m surprised. Alyssa also didn’t care when kids were put in cages under the Obama administration. What’s new?

Please be advised:

Tear gas under Obama: GOOD! Disperse those mobs!

Tear gas under Trump: Evil-Creature-Person! Heartless! A$$hole! But the children! LITERALLY HITLER!
