Excerpt:
Linda Sarsour, co-founder of the Women’s March on D.C. and recent defender of anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, invoked on MSNBC the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to bash both the idea of civility and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) specifically.
Host Chris Hayes was guiding the discussion on the topic of civil disobedience and political violence, and pointed out to guest Jess McIntosh of ShareBlue Media that, considering events of the past year like Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) being shot by a politically motivated attempted murderer, there is legitimate cause for concern when encouraging people to be disruptive and confrontational in the way that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) recently suggested.
McIntosh drew a distinction between political violence and civil disobedience, but Linda Sarsour had a different take.
