Clown 🤡 shoes 👠

More big-old-lady-booty cavity searches at the jail.🤮

With or without handcuffs 😜😂🤣

Just another photo op.

Who sends the cops out to arrest people and why?

thanks, ladies!!! Was blessed to have Speier as my congresswoman for many years!

Unjust for who? For decades the Pro abortionists have had their way. Freely killing whatever moves inside a woman's womb. Those who would have been the future men and women of America. Sadly, our country owes Adolf Hitler and others of his ilk an apology.

Arrested? sure....

Were they handcuffed or fake handcuffed

“Arrested” 🙄👍

you can be arrested with imaginary handcuffs..?

Questioning the decision of a democratically elected institution? Sounds like an insurrection to me

And yet we don’t arrest violent insurrectionists breaking into our nations capitol destroying government property and attempting to harm law makers. Oh and killing police officers.

What’s wrong with these people? It was 95 degrees in DC today. Coats and sweaters? I thought there was global warming and people were dying everywhere. No wonder they are play acting an arrest 😂

The supreme court doesn't make unjust laws... Or any laws for that matter. But she does.

FakeNews You guys are going to give us Trump again....

Defined arrested? Was she taken into custody? is there a mug shot? Did she post bail? OR Was she just walked away? And if so is a local news stations posting fake news? I'm just asking questions.

More PR STUNTS!

Love the handcuffs… AOC RepAOC

Now write about they’re fake handcuff walk.

Uh, according to the US constitution, the court does not make the law. They interpret the law as it applies to the constitution. Therefore, protesting is superfluous, that is, a waste of time.

Insurrectionists!!

I wish it were true, show me the police report

Democrats are so good at the theatrical protesting!

This is a publicity stunt.

Fake!!

“Arrested” lmao what a joke

Never seen people arrested without handcuffs... this is called PR

** Speier were among 35 'people' who were arrested ** 'People'? Were any MEN arrested?

“Arrested”. Right…. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

'arrested'

That’s great

Thank you RepSpeier !

Insurrection!

Oh the theatrics….

Thank you RepBarbaraLee !
