Green Party’s Jill Stein Nabbed for Assaulting a Police Officer

Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein, along with her campaign manager Jason Call and Deputy Campaign Manager Kelly Merrill-Caye, was among the 100 more people arrested in a pro-Hamas protest at Washington University in St. Louis.

The physician-turned-activist was arrested on Saturday after refusing to leave the university. 

In a clip posted on her X account, police authorities escorted Stein and detained her for six hours.

Police authorities slapped Stein with charges, including assaulting a police officer.

Stein, a candidate for the far-left, remarked, “We’re standing here with the students at WashU, standing up for our constitutional rights, standing up for the American people who want to end this genocide now.”

Some posts accused Stein of “holding the line with students” before law enforcement confronted them. 

In a post on X, Stein’s campaign said that they were joining the pro-Hamas campout when police arrested the group.

“The demand from the encampment was specifically for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures munitions used in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza at their nearby St. Charles [Missouri] facility. The Stein campaign supports the demands of the students and their peaceful protest and assembly on campus. Student protest for peace and civil liberties has always represented the best part of our collective moral conscience. Solidarity.”

As the university administration expressed concern that the protest could turn violent, St. Louis police wasted no time and dispersed the anti-Semite, pro-Hamas protest. 

Ironically, Stein, who is Jewish, spoke in a video and said, “We’re going to stand here in line with the students who are standing up for democracy, standing up for human rights, standing up to end genocide.”

Meanwhile, at Columbia University, pro-Hamas demonstrators continue to cause chaos on the campus, leading to the arrest of almost hundreds of students since April 18. 

According to the university, they have started the suspension of students who joined the encampment. 

Despite threats from the campus administrators, students continue their riots, with no sign of stopping anytime soon. 

The unrest at Columbia University sparked more protests on other college campuses. 

At George Washington University in Washington, D.C., 200 organizers, activists, and students held a campout on university grounds.

About 100 protesters were detained at Northeastern University in Boston, and at Arizona State University, 70 pro-Hamas students and supporters were apprehended.

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania), a vocal supporter of Israel, reacted to the surge of encampments on college campuses. He said,

“Of course, it’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful,” Fetterman said. “I can’t end that war. Joe Biden can’t end that war. Netanyahu can’t end that war. But Hamas could end it right now, immediately. They could release the last hostage, and they could surrender. All of the misery and death and destruction ends right there too.”
