NEW: While everyone is focused on Epstein, the RNC continues to try to intimidate state election officials. I predict that this is the predicate to an RNC lawsuit.

I hope this goes somewhere. I like Senator Murphy. She needs a bigger microphone to blast KN's behavior beyond C-SPAN so it gets attention over Epstein.

At first, I only thought the battle garb was to shock and awe. When I watched police and other groups join ICE in "suppressing protestors," I drew the same conclusion.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.
