(Part 1) @medeabenjamin of @codepink explains to me what happened today.
Codepink was disrupting a @DWStweets presser where Medea says she was the one assaulted and “choked.”
When she got home, she says police were surrounding her home without a warrant.

The police hoped @medeabenjamin would be arrested willingly - which she refused.
They say they’re coming back with a warrant.
Medea compares this to the arrest of journalist @MaxBlumenthal and says it seems to be a case of trying to intimidate activists.

"When DWS was speaking, I was standing right next to her, and every once in a while I would say something like, & #39;Lift the Sanctions!& #39; & #39;This is all about the votes, Debbie, isn& #39;t it? In Florida!& #39;," Benjamin told journalist Ford Fischer following the event. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/11/14/they-choked-me-they-threw-me-down-codepinks-medea-benjamin-assaulted-right-wing">https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019...
