Trump's goons also gassed and grenaded St. Johns clergy, says reverend

Along with a gathering of peaceful protesters, clergy members of St. Johns Episcopal Church were gassed and grenaded to clear a path for Trump to pose in front of the church holding a Bible, said Reverend Gini Gerbasi in a Facebook post.

From her post:

We were literally DRIVEN OFF of the St. Johns, Lafayette Square patio with tear gas and concussion grenades and police in full riot gear. We were pushed back 20 feet, and then eventually with SO MANY concussion grenades back to K street. By the time I got back to my car, around 7, I was getting texts from people saying that Trump was outside of St. Johns, Lafayette Square.

I literally COULD NOT believe it. WE WERE DRIVEN OFF OF THE PATIO AT ST. JOHNS a place of peace and respite and medical care throughout the day SO THAT MAN COULD HAVE A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH! PEOPLE WERE HURT SO THAT HE COULD POSE IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH WITH A BIBLE! HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO STEP OVER THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES WE LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE WE WERE BEING TEAR GASSED!
