Hillary Clinton calls armed Michigan lockdown protests 'domestic terrorism'
Hillary Clinton is condemning armed protests calling for the end to stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic, calling the demonstrations "domestic terrorism."
"Armed men storming a legislature to disrupt its democratic proceedings is domestic terrorism. It cannot be tolerated," Clinton tweeted Friday.
Her tweet linked to an article by Newsweek about Michigan choosing to close down its Capitol and cancel its legislative session after armed protests and death threats to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Some 200 protesters turned out for Thursday's event, where one demonstrator was seen carrying an American flag with a doll hanging by a noose. The event mirrored a similar protest at the end of April, during which hundreds of protesters — many armed with rifles — entered the Capitol. One man is reportedly facing charges over death threats to Whitmer, and Newsweek reports there have been posts online calling to lynch her as well as suggestions to crowdfund for a hitman.
President Trump has offered his support to protesters demonstrating against state orders (calling them “very good people”.

They all look like they need to go home and take a bath.

Benghazi Hill probably killed more Americans through her part in refusing aid to Benghazi than have these hundreds or thousands of protesters. Benghazi Hill should shut her Chardonnay-Hole.

Remember when Hillary said dissent was patriotic? I do.
Typical liberal double standards.

Of course, it’s important to remember how this started. We lost a young man, Michael Brown, in heartbreaking and tragic circumstances. He was 18 years old, and his family will never hold Michael in their arms again. And when something like this happens, the local authorities, including the police, have a responsibility to be open and transparent about how they are investigating that death and how they are protecting the people in their communities. There is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. There’s also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. And here in the United States of America, police should not be bullying or arresting journalists who are just trying to do their jobs and report to the American people on what they see on the ground.
Quote from President Obama a few days after rioting in Ferguson resulted in multiple injuries to both police and protesters and multiple businesses being looted and burned.
So, Obama attempted to brush aside assaulting cops (including shooting them), arson and theft by falsely claiming the police somehow were at fault. And that these illegal activities were a natural by-product of peaceful protesting. But an actual peaceful protest, were no laws were broken, is domestic terrorism. Hmmm, couldn't possibly be an agenda here.

The one thing I will say is that when Nancy Pelosi and Hillary wear a face mask, I can almost tolerate looking at them.

In Baltimore the mayor told cops to give the people "room to destroy."
