.@DonLemon: We in the media have to be more savvy about how this admin operates. They put on reality shows for their base. Barr walking around the WH w/ military police protection delivers a message of "law & order."
It's probably also to counter wimpy Trump #bunderboy image.

🔥@Acosta: Trump invoked the 1807 Insurrection Act—an extraordinary use of military force—to clear out peaceful protesters at the White House, so he could walk with aides to St John's Church. He mobilized US military for the first time in 200 years—for a photo op. Extraordinary. 
There it is. Dictator Trump had the US military attack peaceful protesters w/ tear gas so he could have this "law & order" Bible-holding photo-op. He mumbled some Trumpy crap too: "It's not going to take long. It's a great country. It's coming back. Greater than ever before."
🔥@DonLemon: Trump's pretending to be president. Pretending he's religious, w/ that bible-holding photo-op. This is a dangerous game. We're teetering on the brink of dictatorship. America is not a dictatorship. We are not a police state. Americans have a right to protest.
@donlemon Wow. DC bishop who oversees St John's Church "was not given even a courtesy call that they would be clearing [the square] with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop." She's outraged & denounced Trump's continued fomenting of violence. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
@Acosta Correction+clarification: Trump hasn't invoked the Insurrection Act—yet. It was last invoked in 1992 during Rodney King/LA riots.
He did mobilize US military on US soil against peaceful Americans exercising their right to protest—for this photo-op—holding the Bible upside down😬
