During Tuesday’s House Judiciary Hearing, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) cornered Attorney General William Barr for staying quiet and not taking any action when protestors marched to the Michigan Capitol with guns and confederate flags, but using law enforcement against Black Lives Matter protestors.
Jayapal began by asking Barr if he was aware about what was happening in Michigan in the early days of the pandemic.
She asked, “Are you aware that these protestors called for the governor to be lynched, shot, and beheaded?”
“No, I was not aware,” Barr answered.
That’s when Jayapal fired back and claimed there was a “discrepancy.”
“You are aware of certain kinds of protesters, but in Michigan when protesters carried guns & Confederate flags & called for the governor of Michigan to be shot and lynched, somehow you are not aware of that … there is a discrepancy.”
