[Democracy Now] speak[s] with activist, civil rights attorney and ordained minister Nekima Levy Armstrong about her role in a protest at a St. Paul church on Sunday, where one of the pastors, David Easterwood, also leads a local ICE field office in the Twin Cities area. “I believe that if someone professes to represent the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to preach it, that they should not be allowing ICE agents to drag people out of their homes,” Levy Armstrong tells Democracy Now! She spoke from an undisclosed location after Trump officials vowed to investigate and possibly arrest the demonstrators.
Every week someone posts a video of some crazy white woman ranting about LGBT going to hell or some other nonsense in churches and no one goes and picks them up. I’m not really sure what the charge even is here.
The charge is that conservatives are butthurt Karens being Karens, as per usual.
The way the world works, in their view is that they can and do nearly anything they want, including storming the Capitol to overturn a free and fair election, violently beat on cops in the process and threatening the lives of the VP and people in Congress. That’s just “peaceful protest”.
Barge into one of their churches and mildly inconvenience them? That’s terrorism.
