Speaking in an absolutely absurd interview on ABC, far-left Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) went berserk and started attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), declaring that it had “kidnapped” people and that her vicious attacks on it did not qualify as “incitement.”
For reference, Rep. Jayapal’s interview with ABC News came on Monday, September 29. During it, the woke congresswoman declared that she had done nothing wrong in attacking ICE, even in the face of yet more leftist-conducted attacks on ICE, such as the attack on an ICE facility in Texas, and then went on to spread more vicious rumors about the federal law enforcement group.
Rep. Jayapal’s commentary was sparked by the show’s host, Elizabeth Schulze, asking her whether she thinks Republicans are right in arguing that those Democrats who spread vicious lies and smears of ICE are responsible for the attacks that appear to be provoked by their lies they spread.
The host asked, as the interview ended, “While you’re here, Congresswoman, I want to ask you, the White House released a statement blaming Democrats for some of the rhetoric that elected officials have had — including you — they blame Democrats for criticism of ICE — for last week’s shooting at that ICE facility in Texas and they named you specifically for some of the comments you have made about ICE in the past. What’s your response?”
Responding, the far-left representative insisted that really she was the victim here, claiming, “Well, look, my response is, I just had a state representative, a Republican Arizona state representative, call for me to be [hung]. He called for my execution. If the White House was actually going to go after people who are inciting political violence, they should go after people like that.”
Continuing, she insisted that the “resistance” she was promoting was purely “nonviolent,” claiming, “But the reality is that we have an authoritarian government right now that is doing things that are unconstitutional. My work is to make sure that we continue to promote nonviolent resistance, active opposition to the things that are happening.”
Adding to that, the far-left Democrat went on to spread another vicious lie that could incite further attacks on ICE officers, declaring that it was “kidnapping” people. She said, absurdly, “I don’t think that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, for the majority part — supermajority across the country, like that ICE is coming in, masked men on our streets, Elizabeth, kidnapping people who are hardworking folks who have just been doing their jobs, people who are here on legal visas, U.S. citizens, they have kidnapped and detained people.”

Concluding, she further alleged that she regrets nothing, even in the wake of the attack, and as she did so, she insisted that ICE was assaulting people unnecessarily, saying, “They are pushing people to the ground. We have a militarized force on our streets. That’s what ICE has turned into, and I’m going to continue to do everything I can to push back against that. … I have no rhetoric that I regret. Nothing that I have said is rhetoric that incites violence. All of it is about what is actually happening.”
