One of the craziest stories of the year broke on Friday after a contingent of Democrat politicians stormed an ICE facility in New Jersey, supposedly in protest of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But while they claimed to have done nothing wrong, the more evidence emerged, the more obvious it became that they were lying through their teeth.
As RedState reported, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested on site, tried to play the victim on CNN. Video then emerged showing that he breached a checkpoint and refused to leave after multiple requests.
The behavior of three Democrat congressional members was arguably even worse. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez Jr. could be seen on camera shoving ICE agents as they fought through the first checkpoint, with McIver appearing to even throw punches.
Naturally, she too played the victim, claiming that ICE agents “shoved her.” She went on to paint herself as a fighter, just trying to conduct “oversight.”
