Far-left Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested during an anti-Israel protest at Washington University in St. Louis on Saturday — a day after she was confronted outside of Columbia University.

...

Stein’s Campaign Manager Jason Call and Deputy Campaign Manager Kelly Merrill-Caye were also arrested.

...

Stein was “holding the line with students” before police “used force against” her and other protesters.

...

The protests were demanding an end to the war in Gaza and

...

“It quickly became clear through the words and actions of this group that they did not have good intentions on our campus and that this demonstration had the potential to get out of control and become dangerous,” the statement from the school read. “All will face charges of trespassing and some may also be charged with resisting arrest and assault, including for injuries to police officers.”

...

Harvard graduate, Stein, 73, sought the Green Party presidential nomination in 2012 and 2016.

She announced her 2024 bid on X last November, citing ending the “genocide in Gaza” as one of her top priorities.

Repubs need to make sure she is on every single swing state ballot. That should be a top priority.

She had to do this to remind the voters that she is still alive, and there is still a Green Party...

My son was at that protest!

As a member of the STL County Police Tac Team. I'll have to ask him if he was the arresting officer!

I talked to him before the protest and he was excited about a new weapon that shoots pepper spray. I hope he got to use it.

Okay, looks like she just desqualified herself from the race to the White House. Anyone doing crimes, can’t be on the ballot.

Yesh! She needs to remind the lefties and kooks that she is still a candidate and an alternative to Biden. Split the vote, I say, to ensure a Trump victory. Turnabout is fair play.

IMO the kids at the school have leeway to get a little bit rowdy and out of control no matter how stupid their "cause" is... say, mean professor or bad cafeteria food or whatever. Go ahead, let off a little steam.

When the outside agitators show up though, bring those big trucks with the water cannons on them, and also let the K9 officers get a little practice.

And bring the cameras, make them planetary famous.

So, Jill has turned out to be an anti-Jew racist.

For Jill Stein even bad publicity is good publicity. But it still won’t help her campaign.
