Via Twitchy

As we’ve said in the past we’re certainly not experts when it comes to any of this J6 stuff BUT you’d think this body cam footage that shows it was teargas being shot into the crowd and NOT a Trump tweet about Pence that caused supporters to rush through police lines would be kinda sorta and totally a big deal.

Why did they fire the tear gas in the first place. There was no reason to do so.

If we allow ourselves to wear a little tinfoil hat for a moment we can think of a reason or two for them to do so.
