In her keynote address to the opening plenary of Netroots Nation, an annual gathering of progressives, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said the first seven months of the Trump administration represented an "all-out assault on our fundamental civil and human rights."

President Trump, she told the audience, has "wasted no time in implementing the hateful agenda that he ran on." Lee pointed to the so-called Muslim ban, transgender military ban, healthcare reform efforts, and Commission on Election Integrity among other recent Republican actions to illustrate her argument.

Like Jason Kander, who addressed the crowd only moments earlier, Lee encouraged activists to go bolder and resist calls to dilute their message. "Coming from the Bay Area, of course, as a community leader with the Black Panther Party, I just have to say progressives understand the power of the people," she said. "We must be bold and not back down on who we are as progressives in the era of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon."(continued)

Maxine and Barbara are BFF’s with Hillary.

All Hillary has to do is tell them the most outrageous lies, and these women will run to the nearest microphone or camera.

Sadly, they’re just disgusting.

Ah yes, Netroots Nation. The people who bring us Daily Kos bring us Netroots Nation.

At first, the annual conference was called Yearly Kos, because it was brought to us by the Daily Kos folks. Then they changed the name to Netroots Nation, and brought in even more liberal radical types.
