Progressive clerics Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bishop William Barber II were among more than 20 people arrested during a Poor People’s Campaign demonstration at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, according to police.
The campaign announced that they’d be holding the demonstration under the banner “A National Call for Moral Revival” this week.
The mission of the demonstration was to protest Senators Joe Manchin and Mitch McConnell for their failure to vote for the $15 minimum wage, and also their opposition to the For the People Act.
Jackson, Barber, and the other protesters were arrested for crowding/obstructing, Capitol police said.
Will they be held for months without trial in solitary confinement? No.
Can we finally get him on his back taxes???
Hot dog! Finally, a victim of their own devices. The BLACK MAYOR of DC is the one who carped for crowd dispersal in DC, more especially in the Capital/ Pennsy ave location when Trump was at the church promoting the practice of faith among the electorate. God fearing people were criticised and dispersed then and NOT on Jan.6. Now the big dogs have a taste. Poetic justice is what I see.
Good !!! You got the Right ones this time !!!!! Racist Hate Mongers !!!!! Terrorists !!!!
Hope Maxine Waters was one of them along with Farakon & AL Sharpton !!!!
Guarantee it was all staged.
Say it ain’t sooo. At least he is in the holding cell. Only thing they can do now that they have done away with mental institutions.
They spend their time protesting instead of working and wonder why they don’t have any money.
Great free publicity for Jackson and Barber. Getting paid to be sacrificial lambs!
And now it’s time for Race Hustler Theater with your long-time hosts Jesse and Al.
