WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Green Party of the United States is calling for vigorous prosecution of white supremacist groups responsible for the violence, injuries, and deaths that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, August 12.
Greens said that the violence inflicted on anti-racist counter-protesters, including a car driven into a crowd that killed one person and injured more than two dozen others, was a deliberate act of domestic terrorism.
The Green Party strongly condemns the white supremacists and their rally and violent actions and expressed solidarity with all those who participated in the counter-demonstrations.
White supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations thrive on violence and threats of death and mayhem. They support a violent overthrow of the U.S. government and various forms of subjugation, expulsion, and extermination for all people of color, LGBTs, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, and anyone who doesn't conform to their vision of a white gentile male-dominated society based on an extremist "blood and soil" ideology.
The violence on the University of Virginia campus was consistent with the openly expressed intention of white supremacist groups to provoke a "race war" and clearly fits the definition of terrorism.
President Trump responded by casting blame "on many sides," as if peaceful anti-racist protesters were responsible for the attacks they suffered.
The president's reaction betrayed the influence of advisors like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, who have ties to fanatical far-right, neo-Nazi, anti-Muslim, and white supremacist organizations. Greens said that Mr. Trump's loyalty to these staffers makes him unfit to occupy the White House. (On Monday, the president condemned "criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups" after widespread criticism of his initial response on Saturday.)
The Green Party counts nonviolence and respect for diversity among its Ten Key Values and has endorsed Black Lives Matter and its demand for racial justice. The party also recognizes and upholds the right of self-defense, in keeping with the Key Value of nonviolence. Greens support efforts to eradicate racism and other forms of discrimination, including removal of public monuments that glorify Confederate leaders and military personnel.
Do the Green Party hold any office within the United States?
Yeah, just grab the first 50 white people you see and hang them from lamp posts.
You know this is exactly what its going to come to.
Effing lunatics.
These Greenie idiots are no smarter than the average (L)libertarian.
WHO was responsible for the crash of the VSP chopper that was there to provide cover for Gov. Terror McCauliffe’s movements?
Hey,Jill...how are those three recounts going?
How many seconds did it take for that baseball bat to go through the rear windshield of that car? 1 second after it stopped? But of course, it is racists doing terrorism against the people.
To think, almost all these organizations were dead until the left propped them up as their bogeymen.
The Left will soon perfect Lawfare.
Destroy lives less often with bullets, but rely instead on social justice judges to abuse the court system. Call it civilized barbarism against those opposed to social justice.
Green Party needs to be prosecuted for ignorance.
A competent AG would be out in front on this.
Where is Sessions? No time for a communications vacuum at DOJ!
HAhAHAHAHAHA... oh, they re series.
the frightened driver of the car in charlottesville is going to be lynched at one point.
he will never get a fair trial.
Remember the pipeline incident?
That is a bit juvenile, no? How about people waving a NAZI flag in public?
wake up.
It’s war. The armies have names like BLM, antifa, occupy, democrat party, green party.
Have to prosecute all of Antifa and BLM, etc. first!
I “urge” the green party to jump off a cliff.
Green is the new RED.
