Chaos on Capitol Hill: Rev. Jesse Jackson, Activists Arrested
« on: August 03, 2021, 12:56:56 am »
Breitbart by Madeleine Hubbard 2 Aug 2021

Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested Monday with other activists protesting for “voting rights” on Capitol Hill.

The protest, organized by DC Poor People’s Campaign, under “A National Call for Moral Revival,” made four demands during their “Moral Monday”:

1.   End the filibuster
2.   Pass all provisions of the For the People Act
3.   Fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act
4.   Raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr

ABC 7 reports hundreds of people, including many faith leaders, joined Jackson in protest. People even lined up to be arrested by Capitol Police:

Jackson was also arrested last week with 39 other people during a sit-in for “voting rights” at Democrat Sen. Kristen Sinema’s Arizona office.

Jackson is the latest leftist to be arrested protesting in support of the “For the People Act.”

Declare it an insurrection and let them spend half a year in jail without bail

You can be sure the only time JJ is seen in a gen pop cell is for a photo op. The rest of the time he is in a special cell with a phone,tv,ac,and all the comforts including no cell mates.
