Van Orden's false accusations cause CodePink to get death threats

[StClone]

CodePink on Wednesday published a recording of a vicious death threat it received after a GOP congressman's dubious assault allegation against one of the peace group's members resulted in her arrest outside the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

According to CodePink, Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.)—a former Navy SEAL—"falsely accused" Nour Jaghama, the group's Palestine campaign coordinator, of assault after he ran into her from behind. Jaghama was arrested and held for 15 hours in a Milwaukee jail before being released. She was charged with battery against a sitting member of Congress.

1. What? He ran into her, and she got arrested for assaulting him?

Did I get that right?

2. Is Code Pink one of our allies?

I think not

They chant "genocide Joe" and promote 3rd party voting.

3. They are a Peace organization and more.

We agree with their goals for the most part. Adam Schiff just called for Biden to bow out, allegiance what allegiance?

4. Van Orden is one the biggest jerks in Congress, which is really saying something.

6. Van Orden is a crazy, crotchety old FUCK, and he is a disgrace to the Military

Why this POS got elected was a big mistake. His challenger is worthy, a farmer, honest, and of a better character than the Van Orden goof.

5. Fitst Amendment:

It's for all of us.

You think they checked to see if she was a Dem before charging her?

Rethugs have criminalized peaceful protest in many ways, so they shouldn't be surprised when future opponents skip that stage entirely.

7. Good chance

to question whether alcohol was involved given the history for this guy and "confrontations".
