DC mayor criticizes fencing around White House: 'That's the people's house
The Hill (of beans) ^

Posted on 06/04/2020 12:33:53 PM PDT by MNDude

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) on Thursday criticized the placement of additional barriers outside the White House amid ongoing protests in the city against police brutality and racial inequality.

"Keep in mind that that's the people's house," Bowser said during a press conference after workers were seen erecting additional fencing and barriers on the grounds surrounding the White House.

Officials placed concrete barriers along Pennsylvania Avenue NW near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and erected tall fencing along 17th Street NW early Thursday morning. The moves came after law enforcement placed additional fencing on Pennsylvania Avenue NW and parts of H and 16th streets NW as part of its efforts to block pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area.

Sorry, that doesn’t mean if the people want to burn the house down we should let them.

All of these lowlife politicians need to be relieved of their jobs, permanently.

But, since the lowlifes who vote them in want their free stuff and want the politicians to take from the producers and redistribute to the parasites.

Tell me how this ends without a civil war.

It’s the residence of the president. He should be protected and guarded.

So the “people’s” right to burn it down?

How about those other 300 million-plus who don’t want it burned down? (Or its inhabitants murdered?)

Keep doing your imitation of Mad Maxine Waters, Mayor Bowser.
You know good and well why those barriers were made necessary for now. All those “peaceful protestors” throwing bricks and fireworks at the (very easily overwhelmed!) Secret Service.

The ‘peoples house’ is the House of Representatives, and you can’t get in there either. Not that there’s anyone there.

I believe there has been a fence around the White House for many years, including when 0bama lived there (barf).

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), you’re just angry because they didn’t allow the Antifa/Insurrectionist types to approach the White House with intent to damage property and cause harm so the Secret Service would have to kill them when that started, and then they would be become martyrs and you could fulfill your plan to remove Trump from the White House and install your dictatorial rule. We feel your pain. Got to hell, do not pass GO, do NOT collect $200.

How long has it been since DC had a Mayor who wasn’t an incompetent lunatic.
