Nekima Levy Armstrong, one of the organizers of the storming of a Minnesota church to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday, denied that she and her group tried to "rush" the church on CNN, despite previous comments suggesting otherwise.

Armstrong appeared on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" Wednesday when she was asked about whether the Justice Department had contacted her since threatening a crackdown on the protesters.

Armstrong said that she had not been contacted by the Justice Department, despite media attention, but that she wanted to "correct" the record on her protest.

What is the purpose of a lie?

To change the future.

“””denied that she and her group tried to “rush” the church “”

Too bad there isn’t any video to prove she did. Oh, wait. Never mind.

What the hell were those screaming zombie banshees doing? Delivering the Eucharist to the people praying in the church? You “media” turds crack me up. You are all dumber than a box full of the Acme Coyote feces.

Delayed "reparations"?

Nekima was executive director of Minn's Wayfinder Foundation, "dedicated to community activism" 2019-2024.....reporting some $5.24M in total revenue. Lefty Armstrong's compensation included $936,395 in salary, plus $201,313 in health coverage, plan contributions, and deferred compensation—bringing her total to over $1.1M million pocketed. By contrast, the (gag) "nonprofit" disbursed roughly $700,052 in "grants" to the needy over the same six years.

I do not think that they did “rush” the church. I read that they came in and acted like they were participants for a part of the service before they disrupted it. Once they were asked to leave they became trespassers. These evildoers have so many tricks up their sleeves.
