The Channel 11 newsroom received several calls and emails about a tweet from Bethany Hallam, who is a council member at-large and a member of the Allegheny County Board of Elections.
The tweet read, Never burned a police car myself, but (expletive) yeah lets riot against fascism.

Article at the link fails to say what the context was (if the tweet was taken out of context...). Great reporting....

Unless the context was “I’d never say...” it’s not hard to figure out what she means.

I oppose Fascism AND Communism.
The Left can’t say that and adopts the tactics of both.

If she had used the word “unrest” instead of “riot” everything would be fine.

An Allegheny County council member is defending a recent tweet, claiming it is being taken out of context ... a tweet from Bethany Hallam, who is a council member at-large and a member of the Allegheny County Board of Elections. The tweet read, "Never burned a police car myself, but (expletive) yeah lets riot against fascism."I'll translate that anarchist Democrat-speak for everyone:
Bethany Hallam (Allegheny County Board of Elections): "... F*** yeah let's riot against [Trump who we idiotically claim promotes] fascism."
Extremely severe case of TDS throughout the country, turning average, ordinary suburban young white women into psychotic anarchists.

From another article. And it doesn't look like it's been taken out of context at all.
Hallam explained to KDKA Radio's Marty Griffin why she published the tweet. "First of all, I have never burned a police car as despite the person who tweeted the initial tweet at me wanted to claim and second of all, because yes - I think that we should fighting and rioting against any for of fascism and a major sign of fascism is not counting every vote which is what this rally is about, making sure that every single vote is counted," she said. "And if it's not we should riot because that means the fall of a free an fair democracy."
When asked to respond to the idea that as an elected official, her words could actually incite a riot, Hallam said "Oh, I don't think that there's any inciting of a riot, but I think that what's goin to happen is we are going to take to the streets and we are going to protest to make sure that every single vote is counted in this election."

It’s illegal to incite a riot in Pennsylvania. If a “peaceful protest” happens she should be the first one arrested and jailed.
