Black Lives Matter Activist Ashleigh Shackelford Calls White People Demons
Matt
Updated: August 22, 2017

There are two kinds of racists in America today: racists, and anti-racists.

The only real difference between the two is that the latter believes they are incapable of being racist. And on that note, meet Ashleigh Shackelford, a Black Lives Matter organizer and self-described "writer, cultural producer, and artist."

In a video posted to her public Twitter and Facebook pages that has since been deleted, she posted a clip from a lecture on white privilege she was giving to an audience of mostly white people. The lecture took place at the far-left netroots 2017 conference.

She prefaced her speech by "informing" her audience that they're not human, and will be racist no matter what they do.

In her original posts, she included links to her Paypal account so that white people could pay her "reparations."

While she initially received overwhelmingly positive feedback from her fellow social justice warrior kooks, she quickly removed the offending video after sane America began to view it, and respond with anger.

Among those in sane America was Paypal, which has since disabled her reparations fund.

Colorado Secretary of State Encourages Non-Citizens, Deceased to Register to Vote

Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold sent a postcard to non-citizens and the dead encouraging them to register to vote so they can cast ballots in November.

Griswold sent a mailer to several people who are not eligible to vote, CBS4 reported, in a swing state that has a U.S. Senate seat on the ballot this year and could prove pivotal in the presidential race.

Karen Anderson said she received one addressed to her mother.

"Which sounds really nice except my mother has been dead four years and she hasn't lived, voted, owned property, worked, or done anything other than visit Colorado since 1967," Anderson told the news station.

CBS4 found a dozen other examples, including "a deceased woman in Las Animas County, six migrant workers in Otero County, a Canadian in Douglas County, a man from Lebanon in Jefferson County, and a British citizen in Arapahoe County."

The state defended sending the mailers to people who are not eligible to vote, according to federal law.

"Yes, it's true that occasionally it will go to a person that it shouldn't go to, someone who's already registered or somebody that's below the age of 18, but the vast, vast majority go to the people who are eligible and then many of them follow-up and become registered voters and they get their ballot in the mail and can vote in our election," Judd Choate, director the secretary of state's elections division, told CBS4.

The state sent 750,000 postcards with the hopes of ten percent of recipients registering to vote.

"He [Choate] says he'll take the chance that a few will get the postcard who shouldn't, if it means increasing voter participation by 75,000 people," CBS4 reported.

Griswold is a progressive secretary of state similar to Michigan's Jocelyn Benson (D).

Both spoke at the 2020 netroots Nation conference on "protecting the vote."

They also appeared together at a Center for American Progress event on protecting "America's right to vote."

"Our constitutional rights do not stop during a crisis," Griswold said at that event, the Gazette reported, arguing the coronavirus pandemic should be used to advance progressive objectives to decrease voting safeguards.

In August, Griswold attacked President Donald Trump after he questioned vote-by-mail elections.

"The president has shown a degree of disrespect to this country that is just un-American," Griswold declared, according to the New York Times. "There is something that we should all be able to agree on and that is well-functioning elections."

He's this guy:

Steven A. Elmendorf is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., was a senior advisor to House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt for 12 years, serving as his chief of staff after 1997. Elmendorf was also deputy campaign manager for U.S. Senator John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee for president.[1]

He, along with Republican Jack Oliver as his business partner, was previously president at Bryan Cave Strategies L.L.C., a lobbying firm connected with the law firm, Bryan Cave LLP.

Elmendorf later founded Elmendorf/Ryan LLC[2] a government relations and strategic counseling firm he owns along with Jimmy Ryan which represents corporations, trade associations and non profit organizations. Elmedorf/Ryan employs an "all-star team of Democratic revolving-door lobbyists . . . including former top aides to Democratic floor leaders Harry Reid, Dick Gephardt, Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi."[3]

He has been a frequent guest on television talk shows including Hardball with Chris Matthews, CNBC's Capitol Report, Fox News and CNN's Crossfire. He has lectured at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and at his alma mater, Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.[1] Elmendorf is openly gay.[4]

Career
A New Jersey native hailing from Summit, Elmendorf graduated from Trinity College in 1982 and began his career as a field organizer on the Mondale for President campaign. He was later chief of staff for U.S. Representative Dennis Eckart, and a staff aide to Senator Brock Adams.[1]

Elmendorf joined Gephardt's staff in 1992 and became chief of staff in 1997.

He managed the floor for House Democrats and designed the Democratic Caucus' strategic response to issues including the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, the Clinton 1993 economic program, the Clinton effort to reform health care in 1994, NAFTA, the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform and the Iraq war resolution.[1]

While in the leader's office, he was named every year by Roll Call newspaper as one of the 50 most powerful staff people on Capitol Hill.[1]

He managed four of Gephardt's successful campaigns for Democratic leader and organized the congressman's outside political activities at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and at Gephardt's political action committee. Elmendorf was elected by the members of the House of Representatives as a minority officer of the House in the 105th, 106th and 107th Congress, entitling him to the same privileges as former members of the House.[1]

He served as chief of staff and senior advisor for Gephardt's 2004 Democratic presidential campaign. In 2004, as deputy campaign manager for Kerry's 2004 presidential bid, Elmendorf was the primary campaign liaison to U.S. senators, members of Congress, governors and mayors. He also supervised the field operations in 21 states and was on the strategic team involved in overall campaign planning and worked in the campaign's outreach to constituency groups and organized labor.[1] In November 2011, Elmendorf was included on The New Republic's list of Washington's most powerful, least famous people.[5]

2006 elections
In January 2006, Elmendorf was criticized vehemently by some left-wing Democratic bloggers when he was quoted in a Washington Post story as saying, "The bloggers and online donors represent an important resource for the party, but they are not representative of the majority you need to win elections. The trick will be to harness their energy and their money without looking like you are a captive of the activist left." Markos Moulitsas, head of the Daily Kos blog, replied: "Here's notice, any Democrat associated with Elmendorf will be outed. The netroots can then decide for itself whether it wants to provide some of that energy and money to that candidate. There's nothing 'extreme left' with demanding Democrats act like Democrats, no matter how much these out-of-touch and self-important beltway insiders think it is."[6]

Also in 2006, Elmendorf gave his support to U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman's independent re-election bid after Lieberman lost the Democratic primary. Elmendorf was listed on Lieberman's campaign Web site as part of the "national chapter" of "Dems for Joe."[7]

Elizabeth Warren Previews 'Big List' of Agenda Items for Biden Administration

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has a "big list" of agenda items for a Biden administration, which she previewed during an appearance at the virtual netroots Nation conference on Friday.

The former Biden rival - known on the campaign trail for her lofty progressive proposals to implement an "Ultra-Millionaire Tax" and cancel student debt on the first day of her presidency - said she has a "big list" of agenda items for the Biden administration to tackle should Joe Biden (D) defeat President Trump in November:

"Finally, we can demand that our Congress make the real changes statutorily that we need to make. We need to get everybody on a path to citizenship," she explained. "These are changes we need to make."

"Here's the good news, though. It's a big list. It's a big list," she continued, suggesting that demands include action the White House can take unilaterally.

"It's a list about the things the president will be able to do by himself and with help from Kamala and all of his administration," she said. "It's a list of the things Congress needs to do. It's also a list of the things the agencies themselves need to do."

Warren added that she has a list for several agencies, including the Department of Education and EPA:

Have I got a list for the Department of Education, oh! And a list for the Treasury Department and a list for the EPA. We got a lot of people who want to do that work. So I think of this as, you ask me what are we going to start doing on January 21, and my answer is, it's actually all the pieces we start putting in place, at the latest, starting on November 4, the day after the win that people are lined up, and they are ready to go.

Warren continues to serve as a fundraising machine for the Biden team, raising $6 million for the campaign after a single June fundraiser.

Many progressives believe she will serve as an influential progressive figure if Biden lands the presidency.

"Warren will play a big role in laying out an economic agenda with a focus on the working class and middle class," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), former co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) campaign, stated.

"Whether from the senator or from the administration, she has the brilliance to help shape policy," Khanna added.

Jared Polis: To Know Him Is To Loathe Him
03/03/09

Openly gay Congressman Jared Polis (D.-Colo.) has a peculiar habit of creating enemies. Silicon Valley's movers and shakers loathe him. His fellow rich Colorado gays shun him. And now the media hates him, too! The now-defunct Rocky Mountain News, which published its last edition on Friday, endorsed Polis's opponent in the November election which put him in Congress. He just couldn't resist dancing on the newspaper's grave: "I have to say, that when we say, 'Who killed The Rocky Mountain News,' we're all part of it, for better or worse, and I argue it's mostly for the better," Polis said at the netroots Nation in Your Neighborhood event in Westminster, according to a recording posted online. The group supports progressive politics. "The media is dead, and long live the new media, which is all of us," said Polis, a Boulder Democrat. That sent The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg into a predictable fit of apoplexy. (He titled his blog post "Go to Hell, Jared Polis" before some prudish Atlantic editor changed it.)

So the pundits of Washington D.C. are getting a taste of Polis's know-it-all self-righteousness! That's a relief to people in Silicon Valley and Colorado, who bore the brunt of it. As an 18-year-old, he traveled to Russia and made money trading privatization vouchers - you know, the botched, scandal-ridden privatization which wrecked Russa's economy and led to the domination of the economy by ex-KGB oligarchs. Next stop: Silicon Valley! In October 1999, right before the first dotcom crash, Polis, then known as Jared Polis Schutz, sold Bluemountain.com, his family's online greeting-cards website, to Excite@Home for $780 million, including $350 million in cash that Excite couldn't really spare. Excite sold it for $35 million in September 2001, and filed for bankruptcy a month later. People still talk about it as one of the most spectacular cashouts of the dotcom boom.

He later sold ProFlowers, an online florist, to John Malone's Liberty Media. (All told, he's started a dozen companies.) He used the cash to buy his way into politics, getting elected to the Colorado State Board of Education (and changing his name to Jared Schutz Polis, "to honor his mother's maiden name"). When he geared up to run for Congress, he didn't get much support from natural allies. Fellow gay Colorado tech entrepreneur Tim Gill declined to back him in the primary, as did Coors scion Scott Coors and his partner David Hurt. He won against the candidate they backed, and trounced his Republican opponent. One of his first acts as a congressman? He took his staff on a retreat to Boulder, Colo., and forced them to eat a vegan lunch and do yoga. Who is this guy? People sure don't like him. And yet it seems like being on the other side of a deal from him is a losing bet. Which means: He's sure going to have fun in Washington!

https://freebeacon.com/politics/omar-questions-the-patriotism-of-american-born-citizens/?

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) on Saturday questioned the patriotism of American-born citizens, claiming she "probably love[s] this country more than anyone who is naturally born" in the United States.

Omar participated in a foreign policy panel at the liberal netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia when she made her comment. Omar began her remarks by making light of her past anti-Semitic comments and the backlash that has resulted from them.

"Something that I get criticized for all the time. It's not what you think, so don't gasp," Omar said, prompting laughter from the panel and audience.

"It is that I am anti-American because I criticize the United States," Omar said. "I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born and because I am ashamed of it continuing to live in its hypocrisy."

She went on to talk about how people ask her why she can't be "more like an American," noting how it "used to be a very positive thing."

"We export American exceptionalism, the great America, the land of liberty and justice. If you ask anybody walking on the side of the street somewhere in the middle of the world they will tell you, 'America the great,' but we don't live those values here. That hypocrisy is one that I am bothered by. I want America the great to be America the great.

Omar is the first Somali-American elected to Congress. She arrived in the United States when she was 12-years-old after she fled Somalia during a civil war for a Kenyan refugee camp with her family.

LIght dig on Ayanna Pressley

While Pressley's membership in the bomb-tossing quartet is serving as her introduction to a national audience, those who followed her career in Boston would probably characterize her quite differently - as the consummate inside player. She spent more than a decade as a congressional staffer, first for Rep. Joseph Kennedy II and then for Sen. John Kerry. During her decade on the Boston City Council, Pressley was never known for high-profile tangles with Mayor Tom Menino or, following his retirement, Mayor Marty Walsh.

"There are real distinctions between them," Attorney General Maura Healey says of Pressley and her three congressional colleagues in an interview with Globe columnist Adrian Walker, pointing to Pressley's long track record in politics.

"I don't think she had the option to throw bombs in the same way until she was surrounded by other like-minded individuals," UMass Boston political science professor Erin O'Brien told the Globe. But that seems to ignore the years when she served with outspoken progressive councilors such as Tito Jackson, Michelle Wu, and Andrea Campbell.

Former congressman Barney Frank said Pressley has stood out from the other three Squad members by not offering the same sort of charged rhetoric, making him wonder why she's joined up with them in their challenge to party leaders.

"My puzzlement about Pressley is that I haven't seen her do anything that seemed to me mistaken the way the other three have, but then she joins them, and apparently agrees with their approach, and I think their approach is very wrong," Frank told the Globe.

Critics say that more measured approach is not what Pressley displayed at a netroots Nation conference on Saturday. "We don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be brown voice. We don't need any black faces that don't want to be a black voice," she told the crowd, comments that a Herald editorial slammed as a threat against anyone who would stray "from the progressive playbook."

If Pressley's split political personality as veteran inside player now pushing change sometimes seems hard to square, perhaps it also positions her as someone who can bridge the emerging intra-party divide and help Democrats avoid the sort of squad the party is more known for - the armed one that forms in a circle.

Then there are their statements.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

From the start, "AOC" used race in her campaign for Congress. As Politico noted in 2018, she challenged incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY), who is white, on "ideological, generational and racial grounds, arguing that the 10-term congressman was not in step with his majority-minority district and was too cozy with corporate donors."

AOC also has a record of controversial statements about Israel. She claimed, for example, that Israel had committed a "massacre" of Palestinian protesters at the border fence last year. The vast majority were actually members of Hamas, a terrorist organizations that was using the fake "protest" to launch infiltrations and violent attacks against Israel.



In recent weeks, AOC has shown even greater insensitivity to the Jewish community by comparing migrant facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border to "concentration camps." Attorney Alan Dershowitz, a Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, called her claims a form of Holocaust denial. Despite criticism from the U.S. Holocaust Museum, Israel's Yad Vashem, and others, AOC refused to apologize and rejected an invitation to visit actual concentration camp sites.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

Omar has a long history of anti-Israel statements that have included antisemitic themes, such as suggesting that Jews control the world. In 2012, she tweeted: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." Local Jewish community leaders in Minnesota staged an intervention before she took up her seat in Congress - to no avail; she continued making offensive anti-Israel and antisemitic statements.

In February, Omar tweeted, "It's all about the Benjamins baby," suggesting (falsely) that a pro-Israel group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), bribed members of Congress to support Israel. The implication was that Jews were using money to control Congress. Omar apologized for that tweet, but went on, a few weeks later, to claim that pro-Israel members of Congress owed "allegiance to a foreign country." The chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a fellow Democrat, called her statement a "vile antisemitic slur," but she refused to apologize.



In an effort to tamp down the controversy, House Democrats passed a resolution condemning antisemitism - but only among other forms of hatred, and without mentioning Omar specifically. After the resolution passed, Omar took a victory lap, claiming (falsely) that it marked the first time Congress had condemned anti-Muslim prejudice.

More recently, Omar has supported AOC's inflammatory claim that the migrant facilities are "concentration camps."

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

Tlaib believes that the State of Israel has no right to exist and should be dismantled - a stance that lost her the support of the far-left J Street organization, which likes to maintain the pretense of support for a two-state solution.
In January, Tlaib posted an antisemitic tweet, declaring that members of Congress who supported Israel "forgot what country they represent." The American Jewish Committee accused her of using an antisemitic claim of "dual loyalty."

In February, Tlaib called Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton, a black woman, a "prop" for appearing in the gallery during a hearing where members of Congress were debating whether Trump was racist.

In May, Tlaib made the bizarre statement that she felt "a calming feeling ... when I think of the Holocaust." She explained by making the false claim that Palestinians had offered Jews a "safe haven" from the Holocaust.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)

On Sunday, just hours after the president posted his congressional tweets, Pressley told left-wing bloggers at netroots Nation: "We don't need any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice." She appeared to assume that the only legitimate "black voice" was leftist; black Americans with other views were legitimate targets of racial attack.

Pressley's bio on her official House of Representatives website - not a personal or campaign page - implies that a white person cannot represent her congressional district: "The Massachusetts 7th is the most diverse and most unequal district in the state, requiring a representative whose experiences are reflective of the people," it says.

Q+ is winning the middle support from the left, with a little SECRET WEAPON(S) for Dem House (and Presidential Race) destruction with swing voters

Public Opinion and the timing of the Plan have always been crucially expressed

So, the Dems took a little in may that shows that SOCIALISM IS NOT a winning ticket and that AOC and Omar are NOT winning faces for the Dem Party.

Kek

Top Democrats are circulating a poll showing that one of the House's most progressive members - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - has become a definitional face for the party with a crucial group of swing voters.

Why it matters: These Democrats are sounding the alarm that swing voters know and dislike socialism, warning it could cost them the House and the presidency. The poll is making the rounds of some of the most influential Democrats in America.

"If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk," said a top Democrat who is involved in 2020 congressional races. "[S]he's getting all the news and defining everyone else's races."

The poll - taken in May, before Speaker Pelosi's latest run-in with AOC and the three other liberal House freshmen known as "The Squad" - included 1,003 likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education.

These are the "white, non-college voters" who embraced Donald Trump in 2016 but are needed by Democrats in swing House districts.
The group that took the poll shared the results with Axios on the condition that it not be named, because the group has to work with all parts of the party.

The findings:

Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view.
Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota - another member of The Squad - was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view.

Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%.

Capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable.
"Socialism is toxic to these voters," said the top Democrat.

Between the lines: Dems are performing better with these voters than in 2016 (although still not as well as in 2018). So party leaders will continue to try to define themselves around more mainstream members.

The other side: Three members of The Squad - Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts - defended their approach while appearing in Philadelphia yesterday on a panel at the annual netroots Nation conference, AP's Juana Summers reports:

"We never need to ask for permission or wait for an invitation to lead," Omar said, adding later that there's a "constant struggle oftentimes with people who have power about sharing that power."

"The dam has burst"
Right there in the lead, on Drudge
Dam has burst, dam has burst
The choice of language is really disturbing me
Spoken by the founder of Daily Kos
Go have a look at his Wiki
Perfect candidate for dark side of the C_A
Hiding right in plain sight
Has gotten rich off Daily Kos and SB Nation, which he then grew into Vox Media
Runs the annual netroots Nation conference

Something weird on his wiki: he is tagged as "People with prosopagnosia", which is:
"Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness,[2] is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face (self-recognition), is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision-making) remain intact. The term originally referred to a condition following acute brain damage (acquired prosopagnosia), but a congenital or developmental form of the disorder also exists, which may affect up to 2.5% of the United States population."
What the hell.

"The dam has burst," said Markos Moulitsas, a longtime progressive leader who founded the blog DailyKos.

Moulitsas and others who share his view argue that, at a time with fewer truly independent voters, presidential elections are now mainly contests to see which party can best turn out their respective bases. And to him, the idea that impeachment will do anything more to motivate Trump's supporters is a fallacy.

"This notion that Democrats are going to catch his voters sleeping if they just tip-toe around this utterly ignores the reality that Trump's old, white, male base of support is the most reliable voting constituency in the country," Moulitsas said. "Republicans turn out to vote."

Democrats, he added, will be less motivated in 2020 if their party fails to adequately stand up to Trump.

Who is this "Kos" guy?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markos_Moulitsas

Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (/?m??rko?s mu??li?ts?s/; born September 11, 1971), often known by his username and former military nickname "Kos" (/?ko?z/ KOHZ), is the founder and publisher of Daily Kos, a blog focusing on liberal and Democratic Party politics in the United States. He co-founded SB Nation, a collection of sports blogs, which is now a part of Vox Media.[1][2]

Moulitsas currently resides in Berkeley, California, with his two children.[3]

Moulitsas was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Salvadoran mother and a Greek father. He moved with his family to El Salvador in 1976, but later returned to the Chicago area in 1980 after his family fled when threats were placed on their lives by communist insurgents during the Salvadoran Civil War.[2] As an adult, he has recounted his memories of the civil war, including an incident that occurred when he was 8 years old, in which he saw communist guerrillas murdering students who had been accused of collaborating with the government.[4]

After graduating from Schaumburg High School in Schaumburg, Illinois,[5] he served in the U.S. Army from 1989 through 1992. He completed training at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and fulfilled his three-year enlistment as a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Fire Direction Specialist while stationed in Bamberg, Germany.[2]

In April 2004, Moulitsas and Daily Kos became the focus of controversy over a statement that he posted in the comments section of a blog post about Blackwater USA employees who were killed and mutilated in Fallujah:

Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly. That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.[22]

Moulitsas describes himself as a recovering Catholic, and says that while he has many problems with the Church, Salvadoran martyr and archbishop Óscar Romero is still his greatest hero and inspiration.[11]

netroots Hosts Panels on 'White Supremacy' in the Progressive Movement

On Saturday, the netroots Nation conference hosted a panel on "white supremacy" in the progressive movement. From reports on Twitter, it seemed more focused on letting people of color on stage in Democratic activism rather than a deep discussion into the Progressive movement's racist history - or the targeting of black women for abortion.

Lucia Martínez, digital campaign manager at Free Press, tweeted thanks to "everyone who joined our session on white progressive f*ckery at [netroots 2018]!"

She shared a poster for the event entitled "White Progressive F*ckery (If you don't think you need this session, you probably do."

"Let's have a conversation abouth [sic] white supremacy within the progressive movement: what does it look like , what are the impacts, and how can we dismantle it together?" the event description read. "This session will center the stories of people of color but we hope that white folks will join to listen, learn and strategize with us."

Doug Foote, digital strategy director at Veracity Media, tweeted a quote likely from Kihani Brea, a policy analyst at New York City Council.

"Often when these trainings teach you how to be the 'right politician' they mean the 'white politician,'" Brea said. "I can't hide my blackness in order to get your votes."

Miriam-Webster defines "white supremacist" as "a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races."

A recent Yale study found that white liberals tend to condescend to African-Americans, presenting themselves as less competent and less educated. Despite this, the prominence of white politicians does not prove a mainstream "white supremacy" on either the Left or the Right.

Cory Booker Pictured With Anti-Israel Radicals, Holds Sign Calling for Elimination of Security Borders in Israel

UPDATE: Booker claims he didn't read sign, didn't know it was about Israel

New Jersey senator Cory Booker (D.) was pictured on Friday afternoon at the liberal netroots Nation conference holding a sign calling for the removal of security borders in Israel, a policy proposal from a radical anti-Israel group with financial ties to terrorist groups.

Booker, standing next to radical activists from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, is holding a sign that says, "From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go," a slogan used by the group in its call for the removal of Israeli security barriers used to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks.
