Democrats call on activists to "RISE UP"

Rapid Response

For weeks, pro-abortion activists have promised a “Night of Rage” on the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Well, that day has come and Democrats have spent it encouraging these activists to “fight.” 

In a fundraising email today, Nancy Pelosi encouraged her supporters to “RISE UP” because “a normal response won’t suffice.”

But Pelosi isn’t alone. 

  • Maxine Waters told pro-abortion activists to “fight” and “defy” the Supreme Court. 
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for people to “get into the streets.”
  • Jackie Speier and Ayanna Pressley said “we've got to armor up” for the “war out there.”  

This dangerous rhetoric comes after weeks of attacks on pro-life organizations, illegal protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices, and an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh — all of which Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have refused to condemn.

Then again, what do we expect? These are their supporters.
