to Portland over the July 4 weekend to quash incidents of civil unrest associated with mass demonstrations against racial injustice and police brutality.
Critics of the administration have likened the federal force to secret police and characterized their intervention as fascistic — pointing to the officers’ ambiguous military-style clothing, aggressive treatment of protesters, and controversial tactics such as loading Americans into unmarked vehicles.
“Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti. These are not the actions of a democratic republic,” Pelosi on Twitter earlier this month. “@DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission. Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.”
Although administration officials have denounced Democratic descriptions of the federal officers, Republican lawmakers and prominent conservatives used similarly fierce language to decry what they viewed as unnecessary force in the FBI’s January 2019 arrest of Roger Stone.
one side is unarmed and fearless.. the other are just a bunch of cowards in camo..
Another animal in the house
The only person (with intent) endangering anyone, is the most corrupt attorney General I've ever seen...William Barr himself...
The Judiciary congressional hearings were a Democratic Party embarrassment.
If you believe anything that Porky Barr and trump is saying then you are truly the idiot there looking for! 😳 don’tfallforeverthingyouhear.
Barr: stormtroopers not identified, unidentified vehicles, kidnapping, , , , wth is going on?
Yet the storm trooper are straying well away from those sacred piles they are 'protecting and attack peaceful protesters while the violent rabble rousers scamper away. Are they stupid or just there as show of force photo ops to boost little djt's poles?
Nancy Pelosi is doesn’t need to step down it’s that crook in the White House and his cronies that need to step down and turn their selfs in for lying and cheating for individual 1. By the way where’s This guy at😳!
If the shoe fits... JustSaying
Truth is the Truth, Trump 2020
After Mr trump is defeated. Barr will end up in prison.
After Mr trump is defeated. Barr will end up in prison and will join Donny and Maxwell.
lafeyettesquare
Barr walks like a Duck.....
Barr should resign from office
If it looks, smells, and acts like a skunk, it's a skunk. Same with storm troopers. Voting is the ultimate protest. Make your vote count by making sure it is counted.
She spoke of the truth!
Him and all the Republican administration endanger us all.
And then again it's possible she was exactly right
No politics in that statement Barr.
She’s not the only one. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, let’s just call it a damn duck
I’ve face-planted with such regularity and for so long, I’m growing crops.
Because you and Nancy hate the US. Why? Because you are communists.
Sounds about right to me. Gestapo, Blackshirts, Brownshirts also fit.....
Because that is EXACTLY what she has done! She has sent a message that law enforcement are no better than Nazis therefore any and all violence is acceptable against them. She has not ONE time come out and condemned attacks on officers, not ONE!
How can Barr be so untruthful & cynical.
DawnaldT Most of the people who do not want federal officers in Portland don’t even live there.
DawnaldT He is right
He’s right.
Barr's bat-sh*t finger pointing -- suck it up fella !! ur not believable -- not now not ever
Along time ago in a galaxy far, far away....Stormtroopers + Space Force.
See I was thinking Darth Vader stormtroopers cause we're the resistance.
Bull
WhiteHouse It doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination, Bill Barr
Take Barr down! BarBarr
This is bad reporting. You should not be parroting what this obstructionist is saying.
Thousands of heavily armed paratroopers at his corrupt beck and call and he's afraid of an 82 year old woman. Perfectly describes the entirely corrupt, totally dysfunctional administration. Always, always selling the fear.
AG William Barr hearing before judiciary committee today. I found the Democrats in the House of Representatives totally rude, undemocratic, and unAmerican in not permitting Barr to answer their questions. Americans must be disappointed. Please respond. Professor Isagholian
Fixed it for you --- AG William Barr today accused himself and President Trump of potentially endangering American citizens by likening peaceful protesters exercising their 1st Amendment rights to terrorists, thugs, and violent anarchists.
Einsatsgruppen
Federal Officers in Portland are Trump's Gestapo.
Trump called the Intelligence Community Nazis.
SpeakerPelosi Why is the House d*ck*ng off with this guy instead of trying to make a deal on the stimulus?
They are NAZI storm troopers.
Then in that same sense realDonaldTrump and TheJusticeDept Are endangering Americans by calling them terrorists, Antifa, and anarchists
HIMMLER MUST HAVE HAD A MENTAL RELAPSE. JACKBOOTED THUGGERY WITH A MILITARIZED POLICE FORCE IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT. GO FIND SOME OTHER COUNTRY TO TURN INTO A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP YOU UNAMERICA ANTI-AMERICAN SS DIRECTOR.
As opposed to Trump and Barr who HAVE endangered thousands of American citizen with their illegal and unfettered use of government STORM TROOPERS in the cities...stirring up strife, fomenting unrest, and violating our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, especially 1A and 4A!!
The truth hurts.
It would seem that Bill Barr directing his storm troupers to act just like storm Troupers is the problem.
DHLS should not be sent to states if not asked by state leaders. This is a test. Trump is leading this country toward a dictatorship like his friend Putin has engineered in Russia. The GOP are supporting him. When they find out his promises to them were lies it will be too late.
Now I understand why GeorgeLucasILM initially made all the stormtroopers white.
He looked bad.
If the jackboot fits.
Pelosi didn’t lie.
The hearing today is a complete train wreck! The only thing I see is a bunch of grandstanding. I’m embarrassed by the Democrats behaviour. It would be cheaper for them to just host a reality show.
Would that make him the Goering, or the other guy?
Pelosi was right, William Barr stormtroopers are escalating violence during protests. Let the local police arrest the criminals and stop FEDS beating and gassing protesters.
The problem with Barr's accusation is that Pelosi has an *informed* opinion.
They are.
Barr will say anything, lie anyway, to cover for Trump.
If the jack-boots fit....
Then they shouldn’t act like secret police.
Word, the cops are the real victims in all this? I wonder if all the folks beaten, pepper sprayed, and blinded by rubber bullets knew this?
AG Barr if our law enforcement is composed of unidentified people wearing unidentified camouflaged clothing, driving unmarked vehicles & illegally detaining people whose crime is the lawful exercise of their 1st Amendment rights, than it should become an endangered specie.
Barr is correct. nasty pelosi is a communist trying to overthrow the president.
If that’s true then Trump has endangered every elected official he attacks.
They are
The only threat for U.S law enforcement community is AG Barr. His ending will be worst than John Mitchel.
She is a deranged old woman
She is soooo right!! Barr trying to get our attention off of what is obvious. Trump IS copying tactics from America's enemies...Russia...China...Germany. Saying has it, 'You may fool the people some of the time, but you can't fool them all of the time.' I don't buy what you say!!
PuestoLoco It's 'possible' Barr's federal law enforcement troops endangered Americans by storming cities where protests were being held.
This isn’t federal law enforcement, this is s gross violation of article 4 section 4 of the constitution. You’ve invaded the sovereign state of Washington. This is treason!
If a duck quacks...
Newsflash, Barr: that’s your playbook; Nazi Germany.
Pelosi doesn't have to accuse the federal officers of bing stormtroopers. We all can see with our own eyes.
Maybe Barr should read the Constotution - the part about free speach and not using forces against US citizens. Law school 101. (Even his law school has condemned his actions.)
Kool imperial stormtroopers vs republic ones..
But tRump calling peaceful protesters terrorists and thugs isn’t endangering Americans?!
Fact check: True
Look like Trumps Storm Troopers...act like Storm Troopers...
Omigod, Bill, better 'proactively arrest' her, doncha think?
True.
Projecting again.
The correct terms are 'stormtrumpers' and Wolf Wolfpacks.
It Bill Barr doesn't want the federal forces being sent into the cities compared to storm troopers, they need to wear proper uniforms including identification, confine themselves to federal buildings, and stop inciting violence.
AG Barr should be removed from office and DISBARRED.. He's despicable.
Oh look, racists are rioting. Is Stormtrooper Barr doing his job?
Oh she was saying the truth!
Thank You Nancy, an accurate analogy.
LOL
If you go back and listen he almost calls the storm troopers
They are. They're brutal, violent subhuman animals. They shoot and gas indiscriminately at innocent people, abduct people into unmarked vans.
But the most powerful person in the world calling the coronavirus the 'Chinese Virus' or 'Kung Flu', endangering the lives of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans, is just fine. No need to call that out.
Cicillne’s balls just tucked up inside and he became a maxine
ANTI SEMITE COMMIEnaziSOCIALIST Nancy Pelosi
It’s possible that it’s impossible to read anymore.
Oh no, when Madame Speaker and all else knows them as TrumpsTroopTrolls
I would support Pelosi on this one for sure.
Not secret...have identifying patches. Dispatched to protect FEDERAL building since the city refuses to do so. We do have access to the internet ya know?
But we do know that sending federal law enforcement to Portland has made the situation there much much worse....which was the point of the exercise
Well...
Fuck Bill Barr. He’s a criminal. Lock him up
They are like the Nazi stormtroopers and they deserve every bit of the criticism they are getting. Fascism has come to America under Trump, Pence, and Barr. They are traitors to our nation.
He is mad at a title and not the actions of “whatever federal wannabes that u want to call them”
Pelosi is one smart lady lots of experience !!
The shoe and brown shirt fit.
Thank you AG Barr
She’s not wrong!!
Yup, storm trooper was kidnapping innocent people off the street
I mean I was calling them storm troopers because of Star Wars... but that's just me.
Pelosi needs to step down!
