This Democratic Congresswoman's Dangerous Rally Cry Advocating Harassment of Trump Officials at Restaurants, Gas Stations, and Yes—Their Homes

She can hate the president all she wants—as a Democrat, that's pretty much her job—but when she starts celebrating activists showing up at the personal homes of those who work for the Trump Administration, things start to get more serious...

"Last night," she tweeted on Saturday, "I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so."

As the Twittersphere exploded, National Review columnist David French's response captured the situation succinctly: "Red Hen has a right to refuse service. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a right to complain. Potential customers have a right to make their own decisions. I have a right to try to persuade people to stop politicizing everything. Freedom is easy to figure out—hard to execute."

French is precisely right. Huckabee-Sanders (I met her once at a little conservative event a few months before she added the Sanders to her name) did what she should have done: She got up and left, rather than either making a scene or immediately becoming litigious like a gay activist in a cake shop. The owner of the Red Hen can now feel as if he is a card-carrying member of The Resistance, and Huckabee-Sanders can let her followers know to avoid the restaurant as she heads over to Chick-Fil-A.

In contrast to the reaction of Huckabee-Sanders and David French, there is Democratic Congresswomen Maxine Waters, a hardline Planned Parenthood supporter who has dedicated her career to the promotion of abortion and nearly every other so-called "progressive" cause. Waters was enthused about the Red Hen incident, and predicted on TV that soon, Trump officials would not be able to shop at a restaurant, tank up at a gas station, or eat in any restaurant—because "the people are going to turn on them," a rather worrisome turn of phrase.

At a small "Keep Families Together" rally on Saturday, populated by people who apparently missed Trump's executive order to end family separation, Waters tap-danced over to the line separating physical harassment from something more in her celebration of apparent stalking at the homes of Trump officials. "Already you have members of your cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants," she shouted gleefully.

"We have protestors taking up at their house who are saying, 'No peace, no sleep. No peace, no sleep.'" So apparently "turn on them" includes showing up at their actual homes and shouting so that they can't sleep...
