    Representatives “punched” and “body-slammed” the ICE agents, she added.

    LMAO. Super soldier democratic elected officials, defeating heavily militarized police units using unarmed combat. I believe it!

    As usual, Republicans accuse Democrats of being much cooler than they really are.

      Even better when you look at the accused!

      • Bonnie Watson Coleman - 80 yrs old
      • Robert Menendez - 39 yrs old
      • LaMonica Mclver - 38 yrs old

      So basically two reps pushing 40, and an 80 year old woman “punched” and “body-slammed” these ICE agents. Menendez is a lawyer, and the two women have no fighting background either yet it sounds like they “handled” these agents with ease according to Noem.

      In this Politico article it sounds like nobody had any issues until they started arresting the Newark Mayor.

      McLaughlin alleged one of the members had “body slammed” an ICE officer, something that a POLITICO reporter on the scene did not witness. She told CNN there was a video of the incident that ICE would be released “very shortly.”

          You’re not a felon until after you’re convicted. Until then you’re just a sparkling nogoodnik.

          (Please pardon if the joke falls flat, I’m in a queer mood.)

      Wasn’t one of them like in their 70s? I really wanna know their routine if they can casually body slam ICE goons without crumbling into a mess of broken bones.
