Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she did not body slam anyone during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week.
Host Dana Bash said, “I want to go back to some of the footage we were looking at, at some, and I want our viewers to see that you are the woman in the red blazer as we show them, DHS says that obviously that there were chaos, that maybe you were trespassing. You can talk about that. But DHS also says that, in their words, you were body slamming an ICE officer. Is that what we’re looking at? Is that what happened?”
McIver said, “Absolutely no. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There’s no video that supports me body slamming anyone. We, as Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman said we were simply there to do our job. There for an oversight visit. What you watch what you’re watching in the video, and we don’t have all of the body cam, and we hope that all of the body cam is released. It was a very tense situation. It unfortunately did not have to be like that. They created that confrontation. They created that chaos and then ultimately went to arrest the mayor of the largest city of New Jersey, who is my mayor and my constituent. And it was very difficult to watch that happen. But absolutely, I did not body slam anyone.”

I have a statue idea right here! This BT-1000 body slamming an ICE agent.
ArtI.S5.C2.2 Punishments and Expulsions from Congress
ICE was legally empowered to “create that confrontation”.
In fact, it would have been legal for them to expel the intruders with truncheons.
See you in court.
Charge her. Let some leftist judge say it didn’t happen.
Capitol police created J6…
When is her arrest?
In the video she's clearly seen slamming her body into a guard...hence body slamming.
Nobody forget.
These are the same POS commies claiming that President Trump violently tried taking control of The Beast from the hands of the SS around the time of J6.
Commies lie.
WE GOT A NEW J6 ALLY!!??
Ashli Babbitt did not body slam anyone, nor did any of the hundreds of MAGA supporters who were arrested for peacefully entering the Capitol when police opened the doors for them. But McIver and all these other smelly Dems cheered their prosecution.
That isn't "body slamming". That is "body blocking" or maybe "bull dozing".
Looks like she has the stomach for violence. ;~)
Should have used a couple of 40mm sand bags to her head.. may have knocked some sense into it.
Lying beotch
“I didnndoonuffin!”
Uh-huh. Sure LaMonica.
