"SNIP.........
Supporters of President Donald Trump used racist language against dark-skinned public servants while rallying against immigration, the Arizona Capitol Times reported Saturday.
Supporters of President Donald Trump singled out dark-skinned lawmakers, legislative staffers and children at the Capitol on Jan. 25 as they protested congressional efforts to pass immigration reform, according to staffers of the Arizona Legislature and two Democratic legislators, AZ Capitol Times reported. Waving large flags in support of Trump while standing between the House and Senate buildings, the protesters, who were also armed, asked just about anyone who crossed their path if they support illegal immigration.
One dark-skinned Arizonian who was asked if he was in the country illegally was Rep. Eric Descheenie (D-Chinle).
Rep. Descheenie is a Navajo lawmaker.

There has been a movement to flex their collective political muscle in recent months. Hopefully they move to a more Progressive stance.

(17,984 posts)I can tell you that the Democratic staff who were yelled at by the protesters and called illegals definitely felt harassed and were not satisfied with the response, Hobbs wrote. They did not feel safe.
Hobbs said she was told by an officer on Thursday that law enforcement was instructed to stand down while the Trump supporters exercised their First Amendment rights.
Their protest went far beyond the First Amendment, Hobbs wrote.
We need real law enforcement, not white supremacists and enablers!

They do not have any rights here. It is not their time. This is our time. Our nation. Our laws. Our streets.
I wonder where they could have gotten that message?
