Lawmakers and Leftists Continue to Push ‘Get in Their Face’ Tactics

The idea that it is a good thing to confront, intimidate, and even rough up people with whom you disagree to advance a political agenda dates back to community organizer and former President Barack Obama but is reaching new levels of hostility since the election of President Donald Trump.

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors,” Obama said on the presidential campaign trail in September 2008. “I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican.”

“I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” Obama said.

Fast forward to 2018 when lawmakers and activists are encouraging confrontations with members of Congress who disagree with them or support Trump.

The latest rant took place on Saturday ahead of the confirmation vote on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when protesters gathered on the steps of the high court, including Jennifer Epps-Addison, network president and co-executive director at the leftist Center for Popular Democracy.

“If you think a few women were getting up in their faces at an airport, if they thought of us calmly saying, ‘Listen to survivors’ was enough to shake and intimidate them, well, wait till they go home,” Epps-Addison said. “Wait till they go to the state fair. Wait till they go to the coffee shop. Wait till they go to the movies. Wait till they go anywhere we see them.”

“Make your voice heard,” Epps-Addison said. “Do not be calm. Do not be silenced. Do not be patient.”

Leftists continue to get marching orders from elected officials, including Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).

  2. Say what you will.

    Don't block my path, don't touch my family, and don't get too close.
    Any one of those mistakes will get you hospitalized.
    These people are no longer interested in debate or discussion -- they are absolutely correct and if you aren't in total agreement, you are a legitimate target for whatever they want to do to you.
    CHILDREN are better losers than these adult sissies.
