The statement, as you can imagine, were absolutely eviscerated and widely-mocked online. The best response I saw was, "You can only call it tear gas if it comes from the Têar Region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling fascism."

Not to mention that the CDC classifies pepper agents as a type of tear gas.
