Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, a democrat from Massachusetts' 7th district, told MSNBC's Joy Reid, that she is calling for more "unrest" in the streets to "hold accountable" President Trump and his allies. "This is as much about public outcry, organizing and mobilizing and applying pressure," said Pressley, against "this GOP-led Senate and these governors that continue to carry water for this administration, putting American people in harm's way, turning a deaf ear to the needs of our families and our communities…You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives."
While she also calls for phone calls and emails to representatives, her call to bring more "unrest" to the streets is seen by many as a rallying cry for more lawlessness. Calls to peaceful protest are seldom described as "unrest in the streets." Some might say it sounds more like "Newspeak" for riots and looting.
How "unrest in the streets" will keep Americans out of "harms way" remains to be seen.
