The GOP convention got hit with tear gas when security officials attempted to quell a bunch of protesters who were blocking two buses full of GOP delegates, according to a witness.

Security officials aimed the tear gas at the protesters but the wind altered its direction.

“It was collateral damage,” the witness said, who got hit with the tear gas.

“Holy crud does it burn. Couldn’t imagine a direct hit,” the official said.
