White House: 'No regrets' about handling of protesters in Lafayette Park
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday that the White House has no regrets about how federal law enforcement forcibly cleared protesters from Lafayette Square the week prior.
"There's no regrets on the part of this White House," McEnany said at a briefing Monday afternoon. "I'd note that many of those decisions were not made here within the White House. It was [Attorney General William] Barr who made the decision to move the perimeter. Monday night Park Police had also made that decision independently when they saw all the violence in Lafayette Square."
McEnany defended the decision by the U.S. Park Police to use chemical agents to clear protesters from the park outside the White House, claiming police issued three warnings before doing so and that protesters hurled projectiles at law enforcement officers.
"That was unacceptable. Park Police acted as they felt they needed to at that time in response," McEnany said. "We stand by those actions."
