Ex-Obama Official Backpedals Call for Canadian Truckers to Have Tires Slashed

Former Obama administration official Juliette Kayyem backpedaled a call Thursday for actions against Canadian truckers protesting their government’s strict coronavirus policies, Fox News reported.

The CNN analyst, who is also a senior lecturer in International Secutiry at Harvard, wrote in a social media post, “I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not.” She apparently claimed her words had been misinterpreted.

“People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say,” she added.

However, Twitter users fired back at her post, one person writing, “I don’t think you were promoting vigilantism. I think you were promoting violence.”

“So what exactly is ‘slashing the tires’ and ’emptying the gas tanks’? Good ol fashioned family fun?” another replied.

Kayyem shared video footage of truckers blocking the Ambassador Bridge.

“The convoy protest, applauded by right wing media as a ‘freedom protest,’ is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada,” she tweeted.

“Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks,” Kayyem’s tweet continued.

Followers blasted her comments.

“You’re advocating violence and property damage for peaceful protestors? Were you this outspoken when BLM and Antifa were torching businesses and killing people? That was an economic and security issue, too,” one user replied.

“Can you elaborate on your brilliant plan to “move” trucks with no tires and no gas off of a bridge?” another asked.

In a subsequent post on Thursday, Kayyem wrote, “Trust me, I will not run out of ways to make this hurt: cancel their insurance; suspend their drivers licenses; prohibit any future regulatory certification for truckers, etc,”:

I don’t know if you can. Those are some pretty tough tires with a lot of pressure.

Maybe someone smarter than me can post this gif?

Yes, exactly. A tire slasher at heart, and a tire slasher forever. It’s just a matter of the situation.

“I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not.” Us little folk aren’t smart enough to realize that you don’t really mean what you say and you are way too “nuanced” to understand that you speak in Obamese, so what you say is the exact opposite of what you believe.

I love it! The explosion of one of those big tires bursting would probably kill the idiot.
