They weren’t, “Police officers”. These guy are with the CA Highway Patrol. This is very odd.

CHP are sworn officers in the largest State Police Force in the USA. These guys were "plain clothes", probably part of some special unit. And yes, that does seem odd. "Acting on behalf of the Capitol Police" just makes it worse. They were "sending a message" from the Feds, not investigating a crime.

Here’s a link from the Jimmy Dore show talking with the guy who had the police show up at his house over the tweet he made concerning AOC...

if you don’t know Jimmy Dore and this guy are total lefties but the establishment right or left doesn’t tolerate any dissidents...

Supposedly according to this guy, it wasn’t necessarily his tweet but a reply to his tweet they were concerned with..

Regardless of your politics having the police to show up over something so minor is scary...

do they not have to tell you WHY they want to talk to you anymore?

Nope.

It is a You know what you did sort of situation.

Which is why you should never talk to the police.

Do not get into a guessing game.

Every thing you say will be used against you.

Nothing you say will be used to help you.

I don’t care if the CHP’s were naked. This is from the CHP own website.

Do ya see anything there which indicates CHP investigates alleged on-line threats?

https://www.dailysunexpress.com/police-visit-the-home-of-california-podcaster-after-he-posted-a-tweet-criticizing-aoc/

Wentz said he was ‘really shaken up’ by what happened. The California Highway Patrol cops left their card behind

He claims the cops said they had received a call from Capitol Police that he had ‘threatened’ the New York congresswoman. They left him their card but took no further action.

‘The officers said, “We got a warning about a sitting member of Congress. And it was because of your tweet, which tagged them in it.”

‘And then they just wouldn’t back down from this accusation that I threatened to kill her,’ he told The Gray Zone.

Wentz then posted on Twitter that he could only assume the tweet they were referring to was one where he called AOC’s comments on Israel and Palestine ‘underwhelming’.

Capitol Police have not disclosed who reported him to them, and AOC’s office told FOX that it was not them.

They told FOX that it was not because of a tweet he wrote, but one he was tagged in though they have not disclosed the contents of that tweet.

AOC’s office denied reporting it and say they are now looking into it.

They have in the past said they forward all threats that she receives – or what they perceive to be threats – to Capitol police.

Wentz told The Gray Zone that he thought the officers were purely trying to intimidate him and silence the right.

‘If this was like a purely intimidation thing then I guess it did its job. It’s not comforting to be on the receiving end of that.

‘But at the same time, they’re not going to shut the left up.’

Tucker Carlson fumed on his FOX show on Friday night that it is the latest in a string of examples of the left trying to censor conservative voices.


It does not appear to be “what” he said. It was about intimidating the criticism in general.

Yes, I have thought about it. And you are correct. Several other ComDem’s are even worse then she is.

She is a total air head, without a clue.

But others like Maxine Waters and Barbara (Commie) Lee and Sheila Jackson Lee are a lot more stupid.

OKies do not like Lefties.

They Never voted for Obozo. In fact the OK Dem party had to step in to prevent a lot of Western OK primaries defeating Obozo in the primaries.

Okies are really OK.

With the ComDem’s in charge, the 1st Amendment is toast.

Via the media filter.

Evidently not. But it is CA and AOC is in DC. And DC police are extension of the ComDem Party.
