Dem Congresswoman Calls Violent Riots at Berkeley a ‘Beautiful Sight’ (w/video)
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | February 3, 2017 | Madeleine Weast

Democratic Rep. Val Demings (Fla.) said on Thursday that the violent riots that took place at the University of California, Berkley the prior night were a "beautiful sight."

Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, a vocal Donald Trump supporter, was scheduled to speak at UC Berkley on Wednesday night, but the event had to be canceled due to violent protests from students and other activists.

"The university said fires were set, including one caused by a firebomb that ignited a generator-powered spotlight, and commercial-grade fireworks were thrown at police," NBC News reported of the riots.

One witness reported seeing a large crowd yelling "No Trump, no Milo," at Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkley campus. A female Trump supporter was pepper-sprayed while giving an on-cmaera interview.

Demings applauded the violent protests that took place during a Capitol hill hearing.

"We have seen demonstrations–and I think you already talked about that–around the country. Young people at Berkeley protesting against this unconstitutional order," Demings said.

She then encouraged more young people to get involved in the protests.

"We encourage our young people to get involved–I thought it was a beautiful site," Demings said.

Police treated six people for injuries from the riots, according to Berkeley.

beautiful site

At some point "Spellcheck" and "Grammar Check" need to be replaced or supplemented by "What I meant to write was...."

And the sooner the better for media types.

I love it, another rat comes out as a complete psychopath. At this rate, the supporters of the Democrap party should pretty much be close to zero come next election. We are witnessing the death throes of a political party soon to go the way of the Whigs.

That’s a TV truck isn’t it? Those have to be really expensive. Is the university going to pay for it?

This woman is sick in the head and has no business being in her position with that attitude. SHE is what is wrong with this country - pure evil.

But....the riot was made up of Brietbart paramilitaries that were paid by Milo to make the left look bad. /s

The Dem party will merge with the Marxist and liberal Republicans, so it won’t go the way of the Whigs, but it might be stronger which would be more dangerous.

I most certainly hope you are right, FRiend Yoda.

For my part, I believe we are on the verge of Civil War II.

Anyone who wants to straighten me out on this point, I’d be glad to hear your arguments. I thought I’d be less depressed after the inauguration, but it seems that every day the Left hits a new low.

When is it going to stop? Do we have to arrest thousands?

I hope this Demings broad gets knocked out like some conservative Berkeley students were knocked out by thugs.

See how SHE likes it.

It would be a pity if Val were caught in the middle of a violent riot.

Some small percent of the population (perhaps 15%) agree with this marxist congresswoman idiot, but these anarchist rioters are not playing with average patriotic Americans.

Just like the Terrorist in Chief who said the most beautiful sound was the ISIL (gotta have the L) morning prayer.
