before the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Select Coronavirus Crisis.

The VF article comes up about four mins into the video, but the whole clip is worth watching.

He starts by laying waste to 1st Amendment argument against limiting church gatherings for public health reasons by citing the 5-4 SCOTUS decision that found that imposed crowd size restrictions were no different for other large indoor gatherings. Then, he clearly lays out the differences in the public health threats and responses for rw protests against public health orders, and anti-maskers threatening the governor of Michigan versus the peaceful BLM protestors who do observe health precautions. Notably, he raised the issue of intentionally using chemical irritants to inflame protestors to coughing and sneezing. Finally, in outlining the VF article that details kushner’s hushed efforts, Raskin reveals that the reason the plan was scuttled was due to the depraved political calculation that the deadly virus should only effect largely Democratic voting areas.

And my brain sincerely thanks you for this well-timed OP and reminder. Is very helpful, as I have needed to go back and sharpen my internal timeline of all that has occurred in regards to russian dealings with tRump and republicons over recent years. We’ve just had so much thrown at us, that it is good to step back and behold the litany of it.

If the feds want to attack the crowd where the fence came down, they’ll be taking down moms and nobody wants to see that!

Explosion behind the crowd just then.
