Police arrested Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Saturday during a Gaza war protest at Washington University in St. Louis.
"Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, campaign manager Jason Call, and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer were arrested alongside approximately 100 others –– mostly Washington University students –– at an encampment set up on Saturday on the university grounds," Stein's campaign tweeted.
"The demand from the encampment was specifically for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures munitions used in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza at their nearby St. Charles [Missouri] facility. The Stein campaign supports the demands of the students and their peaceful protest and assembly on campus. Student protest for peace and civil liberties has always represented the best part of our collective moral conscience. Solidarity."
According to the university, the protest had the "potential" to become dangerous. Subsequently, the college decided to arrest "100 individuals who refused to leave after being asked multiple times."
"This number includes 23 WashU students and 4 university employees. All face charges of trespassing and some may also be charged with resisting arrest and assault, including for injuries to three police officers who sustained injuries including a severe concussion, a broken finger, and a groin injury.
"We are firmly committed to free expression and allow ample opportunity for voices to be heard on our campus," the college statement read. "However, we expect everyone to respect our policies and we will take swift action to enforce them to their fullest extent."
Stein and other protesters were released at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, The Hill reported.

Jill Stein will certainly draw votes from Biden this fall.
So I can only say one thing: Free Jill Stein!
We need small contributions to her campaign. How do we get started? How about a screwed-over conservative from the past sending in $100 just to get back in the news? THAT would be news wouldn’t it? If Soros can do it why can’t we?
Think Sarah. Ollie North. General Flynn. All it takes is one. Build it and they will come.
Foreign policy
Stein accuses both political parties of feeding an “endless war machine” that helps military contractors and public officials. As president, she has said she would revamp America’s foreign policy and center it around human rights to oppose “violence, occupation, and apartheid.” Stein has called for a cease fire in Israel as its war with Hamas continues. In February 2023, she said the people of Ukraine were being used in a “superpower proxy war.”
Trump's margin of victory in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania was LESS than the Green Party vote in each of those three states.
In 2020, the Green Party vote in those three states dropped 85% (from memory).
It dropped in Wisconsin from 31,000 in 2016 to just 1,000 in 2020!
Jill Stein is the perfect candidate for the Soro/Socialist rent-a-mobs.
She’s been a disgusting POS for years.
I didn’t know she was still around.
It matters not one whit if she is out there promoting the mass-murdering Fakestinian terrorist gangs. Except I believe it may be a signal that she wants to dive right into the 2024 presidential election. In which event she could well capture a lot of the communist/nazi vote that the DNC Puppetmeisters are counting on for Biden. They won’t care, though, as long as they’ve got their ETM (election theft machinery) entrenched and ready to fake the vote count in key states like PA, MI, WI, etc.
Which, so far as we’ve heard, it is (still pretty much still firmly in place?)
The Greens Party is completely entrenched in the Communist Manifesto. Greens only use The fraud of human caused climate change to bring about a world wide commie dictatorship.
lMy friends Leaning right/Zeest are the only 2 here that get it. The rest of you have a firm grasp of the obvious. Fine. Just how is that gonna help us win elections?
Should Trump send in his hundred bucks? Sept. 1 would be perfect timing.
To all Michigan and Minnesota Moslems: If you are legally able to vote, it is clear that Jill Stein deserves your vote.
You may be on to something. The republicans support for Israel is pretty low key in Michigan. Does that make us smart?
You just assume every Green vote property of Democrats.
No - I assumed 85%, which is how much the Green Party vote dropped between 2016 and 2020.
You, on the other hand, assume that most Green Party voters in 2016 preferred Donald Trump as President, and rejected Hillary Clinton, which is not plausible.
