Pelosi wants permit for white nationalist rally at Crissy Field to be reconsidered
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is asking the National Park Service to reconsidered allowing an alt-right white supremacist rally to happened at San Francisco’s Crissy Field.
The National Park Service has already issued the permit for the event that’s scheduled on Aug. 26.
“Patriot Prayer” is a two-day event that honors freedom, spirituality, unity, peace, and patriotism, according to the group’s website.
However, there are concerns that this event will provoke a situation similar to what happened in Charlottesville over the weekend.
Pelosi says the event raises public safety concerns:
“San Francisco takes great pride in being a city of peace which cherishes free speech and the right to public dissent. However, the National Park Service’s decision to permit a white supremacist rally at Crissy Field raises grave and ongoing concerns about public safety.
“I am deeply alarmed by the hateful and dangerous nature of the event, its timing so soon after the horrors in Charlottesville, and the serious questions over whether the National Park Service is at all equipped to ensure public safety during a white supremacist rally. The NPS should reevaluate its decision and its capacity to protect the public during such a toxic rally.
“We must wonder, where is the decision to permit a white supremacist rally in a national park being made? At the National Park Service? In the Department of the Interior? Or under guidance from the White House?
“Perhaps those making the decision did not know that Crissy Field is a place where families gather, where tourists visit, and the community comes together. Free speech does not grant the right to yell fire in a crowded theater, incite violence or endanger the public in any venue.”
Prayer, to a baby-killer like Pelosi. is like garlic to a vampire.
This is insanity! Now the word “Patriot” is considered racist?! She slandered this group, and the article runs with it, continuing to slander them throughout the piece.
Can’t this group sue Pelosi and this news outlet for slander?! And if riots erupt at this rally, Pelosi ought to be charged with inciting violence!
Pelosi needs to resign from congress now. She’s not the only one. Anyone who can’t deal with the 1st amendment needs to go.
Even if what Pelosi said was true...and it appears it is not...is she saying the 1st Amendment is only for certain groups and not for others? I think we have entered the door of a collapse of liberty.
You’re supposed to use the article headline.
Obama really started and roiled all of this and and now...we are at the point where this nation is in worse shape ( re race relation and all kinds of other things ), than it has EVER been before! It has left me almost speechless, which is quite a feat.
Yet what we aren't hearing, is the fact that there are many tens ( perhaps 100s ) of millions who are NOT taking kindly to this crap.
Today in this country, where there are severe real world repercussions for being white and right, calling people “white supremacists” is a very serious defamation of character. I would suggest that this group sue Pelosi first thing in the morning.
yea that’s the ticket. white-shaming and identity politics and calling everyone racist worked so well for you guys. Keep it up.
Just start calling the socialists White Genociders.
Because that is what THEY are pushing.
Dogpiling
They will be the first to go after their usefulness.
STFU COMMIE BITCH!!!
My bad, sorry!
Yes, this is what I’m saying! It’s a horrific and damaging accusation that shouldn’t be tolerated, they need to sue her!
I take offense to the term “ white supremacist” and the media ought to be more sensitive ... like they are about football teams called “ redskins “. Or how “ peace-loving “ Muslims feel when someone uses the term “ Islamic Terrorist “ / sarc....
Just sayin’
It’s a free speech rally.
She should be more concerned about Antifa.
