Democratic rep says Biden focused on ensuring ‘consequences are proportionate’ for student protesters
The Hill ^ | 05/05/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-Va.), a surrogate for President Biden’s reelection campaign, said on Sunday Biden is focused on ensuring “proportionate” consequences for student protesters.

In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill on Sunday,” Chris Stirewalt asked McClellan how Biden was navigating the opposing tensions on his base, with some embracing the student protesters’ viewpoints and others raising concerns about violations of the law and incidents of antisemitism.

“proportionate” is Democrat speak for zero consequences.

I am expecting INSURERS to refuse to pay claims.

Too long

Too many of them

Allowed it all to go on too long

I asked all the same questions.

The PRINTING companies better tell who ordered & paid for all those signs.

Yes, but “proportionate” consequences” to me would mean the same treatment that J6s have endured for the last three years. But these radicals are the base of the Democrat party so nothing will happen to them

It’s not a federal issue. It’s none of his business.

proportionate punishment is a cop-out.

Courts should sentence these young Marxists to maximum fines and prison to set an example. All should be expelled from school with no reimbursement.

None that will happen, of course, but should.

To the Democrat that means releasing them all without charge and perhaps paying them for the inconenience.

What does Biden have to do with this? What federal laws were broken? It’s like asking me if Elon Musk puts adequate fuel in his rocket engines.

Are the J6 penalties proportionate?

"Why isn’t the FBI looking into this?"

Because, they know all of the players. The fibbies are coordinating this. Many of the "protesters" are the same ones that we saw in the blm / antifa "fiery but mostly peaceful racial justice" riots and on J6.

Blm met, over 100 times, in the WH, with Jugears and his senior advisors, to plan the "Summer of Love".

This is a commie "color revolution" aided and abetted by our own federal government.

“This has nothing to do with federal law enforcement.”

These riots were coordinated and organized by national organizations. Someone funded them. Federal mail fraud, wire fraud, anti-terrorism statutes, and RICO are all probably applicable.

But Biden wants to make sure that, like the BLM/ANITFA rioters, his brownshirts come out with no record and at most a gentle slap on the wrist. A lot of expungement is gonna go down if arrests actually lead to convictions.

That's the worst case scenario... Hope that's not it.

That’s a big order. I’m surprised no one’s talking.
