As you know, a Nazi killed a protester named Heather Heyer and injured many others. What you may or may not know is that over the last year, many different state GOP lawmakers have been proposing decriminalizing running over protesters. Here’s a thread.
In North Carolina, the GOP voted to protect drivers who run over protesters. #HeatherHeyer @NCGOP https://t.co/HGxRRCzGf2— David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) August 14, 2017
In response to BLM, Standing Rock, and anti-Trump protests, the GOP has been trying to criminalize protest and decriminalize violent acts against protesters. The murder of Heather Heyer is the direct result of these actions. The GOP should renounce these efforts.
