Venezuelan Diplomat Joins Chicago Communists Plotting Trump Resistance
2016-11-18
[DAILYCALLER] A Marxist, a Venezuelan diplomat and an illegal alien headlined a meeting of organizers of the Trump resistance as they announced their plan to shut down reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
on Saturday and Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day.

The Chicago branch of Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER)
...a blanket far-left anti-American group. Its steering committee consists of socialists, communists, civil rights advocates, and left-wing organizations from Moslem, Arab, Paleostinian, Filipino, Haitian, and Latin American bunds. Many of the organization's founders had ties to Ramsey Clark's International Action Center, and the Workers World Party...
met in Chicago’s northwest side neighborhood of Albany Park to plot their next move in their resistance of the Trump presidency.

Chicago ANSWER was one of the radical leftist groups that helped to organize anti-Trump protests when his campaign tried to hold a rally in March; that rally was canceled after protesters clashed with attendees.

As TheDC reported last week, the group is responsible for organizing rallies in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
and Albuquerque.

Since holding those rallies, the group has announced "mass marches" on Inauguration Day in Washington and another one in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
on Saturday; the group hopes to "shut the streets down" at both rallies.

On Nov. 15, the group held a meeting to plot its next move in its ongoing resistance of the Trump in a space normally operated by the Mexican Solidarity Network, a less well-known group in the mold of La Raza.

CHICAGO ANSWER organizers, Stephanie and Mika, co-chaired the evening and Mika said he was also an organizer with the Party for Socialist and Liberation, a radical Marxist group and a frequent partner of ANSWER.

Mika fired up the crowd.

"What do want?" he yelled at the crowd.

"Justice," the crowd roared back.

"When do we want it," he screamed again.

"Now," the crowd roared even louder.

"People can and must be organized in a deepening resistance," Stephanie said. "As united as possible, as myrmidon as possible."

She also said she was willing to "work with anyone to resist this administration."

Stephanie said Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
used "sexist fear" to get elected but was still "fighting the right wing by any means necessary.

Jesús Rodríguez-Espinoza is the Counsel General for the Venezuelan consulate in Chicago and while the rest of the speakers accused Trump of the normal litany of grievances -- that he’s a racist, homophobe, misogynist and charlatan -- Rodriguez said his diplomatic position forbade him from weighing in on Trump.

"Because of my diplomatic position, I’m going to be very careful about what I’m going to say tonight," Rodriguez-Espinoza said.

"Before I was the Counsel General in Chicago, I was a regular citizen in Venezuela just like you, in 2002, was moved in my basement because of the attack against Hugo Chavez. Because of that I started getting involved in politics.

Rodriguez-Espinoza said he became a supporter of Chavez after that.

#10  Mr. Venezuelan diplomat should find himself declared persona non grata in late January.

#9  ....This nonsense keeps up, I would SO love to see President Trump order a blockade of Venezuela. Cut off what little money they have left, and Madman Maduro would last about a week.

#8  A Marxist, a Venezuelan diplomat and an illegal alien walk into a bar.
The bartender says "What'll ya have?"
The three look at each other and ask simultaneously, "Who is paying?"

#6  " A Marxist, a Venezuelan diplomat and an illegal alien "....

If they truly believed in Multicultural diversity why didn't they include a Transgender whatsis in their deliberations? A Hillary voter and proud of it ?

Something with the private parts of a Duck and a Weasel.
