Code Pink Leader Medea Benjamin Allegedly Attacked By Egyptian Police, Then Deported to Turkey
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Tuesday, March 4, 2014 | Kristinn Taylor

Medea Benjamin was detained and allegedly attacked by police in Egypt before being deported. The far left radical has a long history of supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.

Several news accounts report that Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin, founder of the terrorist support group Code Pink, has been deported from Egypt to Turkey after being barred from entering the country.

Benjamin was attempting to use Egypt as a staging ground to support Hamas-led Gaza as she has done in previous visits. Code Pink also worked with the Muslim Brotherhood in past trips to Cairo to overthrow the government of former President Hosni Mubarak.

Before being deported, Benjamin live-tweeted her detention in a Cairo airport jail cell. Her last tweet was, “Help. They broke my arm. Egypt police.”

Benjamin later told Bloomberg News via phone, “The police pulled my arm out the socket, my arm is dislocated. They want to deport me.”

Benjamin also spoke to Agence France-Presse:

“I arrived yesterday (Monday). They took me out of customs, held me overnight, threw me on the floor, and broke my arm. Two policemen jumped on me and broke my arm,” she said in a telephone conversation aboard her flight. An airport official said Benjamin “dislocated her shoulder,” without elaborating.”

It appears Egypt will not allow Code Pink to support terrorists in Egypt this time around as AFP also reported:

“A Cairo court on Tuesday also banned Hamas activities inside Egypt. Members of the movement have been accused of aiding deposed Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.”

Notice that they didn’t say she was raped. Even these sex-obsessed savages have their standards.

As I said in another thread, I hope they give her multiple, free cavity searches.

(Just joking)

(No, I’m serious)

(That’s a joke)

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving ... um, you get my drift.

So the Egyptians are willing to tolerate her cheap sh*t? Good for them!

Let’s hope that the Turks take a similar approach.

Typing error correction: “So the Egyptians are NOT willing to tolerate her cheap sh*t? Good for them!

Sorry for the confusion.

It’s much more likely that she dislocated her shoulder while patting herself on the back for doing such a good job in furthering the Commie agenda.

Never let a good crisis go to waste, etc.

Lying leftist trash are all alike in that respect.

Wonder why Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn didn’t go with her this time. Back in 2010 they were all over there for the ‘Free-Gaza’’ flotilla party.

She probably was, but enjoyed it so it was consensual.

I love the look on these idiots faces when they realize their petty pc bullcrap isn’t tolerated in other countries. They go around thinking their stupid beliefs will be accepted world wide. WAKE UP AHOLES.
