The Revolution Comes for the ‘Wall of Moms’
Commentary ^ | 7 Aug 2020 | Christine Rosen

Posted on 08/08/2020 6:43:05 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Revolutions tend to devour their own, but rarely has this happened as swiftly, publicly, and predictably as it did with Portland’s overpraised “Wall of Moms.”

The brainchild of a suburban Mexican-American woman named Beverly Barnum, the group was loosely organized among other moms on Facebook who were incensed that President Trump had dispatched federal officers to Portland to protect the federal courthouse that had become the main target of three-months-long protests in the city. Wearing yellow T-shirts and linking arms, the Moms created a “wall” between federal officers and Black Lives Matter protestors in July, chanting “Feds stay clear. Moms are here!” and calling themselves “Momtifa.”

Not surprisingly, the moms became instant media darlings. Barnum and others gave emotional interviews to reporters, and outlets like National Public Radio swooned over the women as brave symbols of motherhood and activism—contrasting sharply with the officers Trump had stationed around the courthouse. Sen. Ron Wyden called them “courageous” and copycat groups like Wall of Vets, Wall of Dads, Wall of Doctors — again, self-identified—also joined the Moms in downtown Portland.

If I'm reading the story correctly, that child was quickly aborted. Seems appropriate.

What’s this country coming to when loving moms never know if they will ever see their sons and daughters alive again
every time they go out to riot, loot, commit arson and kill cops?

The she-men are not moms in the least bit.

How many abortions have they had?

I remember when “human shields” were used by Hussein. They have now come to the new Amerika. The “walls” of useful fidiots who will gladly stand in front of ANTIFA and BLM.
