Maxine Waters who called for supporters to openly harass and intimidate Trump administration officials in public.
More of Maxine’s People – Another Democrat Arrested For Death Threats Against Republican Congressman
Another Democrat was arrested earlier today, after following the advice of Maxine Waters and threatening political violence against a member of Congress. The target was the campaign staff and office of republican lawmaker Lee Zeldin (NY-1).
Suffolk County New York police today arrested a Nesconset man for making a terroristic threat against a campaign worker at Lee Zeldin’s Congressional Campaign Headquarters in Nesconset this morning.
Martin Astrof was arrested after he threatened to kill supporters of Congressman Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump.
Astrof went to the campaign headquarters of Congressman Zeldin and became irate with a campaign worker at approximately 11:15 a.m.
After threatening to kill the campaign worker and other supporters, Astrof backed his car up in an aggressive manner nearly striking the worker.
Astrof fled the scene and was arrested a short time later in front of his home in Nesconset.

#WALKAWAY FOUNDER SAYS HE WAS ‘REFUSED SERVICE’ AT CAMERA STORE AFTER EMPLOYEE RECOGNIZED HIM
Brandon Straka, the gay former liberal who has gained attention of late as the man behind the recent movement to #WalkAway from liberalism and the Democratic Party, claimed on Thursday that he was denied service by a camera store employee who recognized him “from TV.”
So ironic that today's "liberals" preach tolerance but practice the opposite.
No wonder so many are now recognizing that these folks have indeed become demonstratively insane...
#WALKAWAY
They first started to lose their minds right about here...
Trump must be the undisputed world champion of limbo, because every time you think it is impoosible to go any lower, he goes even lower....
A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.
Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.
Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.
American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breast-feeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.
When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions. Ecuador, which had planned to introduce the measure, was the first to find itself in the cross hairs.
The Americans were blunt: If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid. The Ecuadorean government quickly acquiesced.
The showdown over the issue was recounted by more than a dozen participants from several countries, many of whom requested anonymity because they feared retaliation from the United States.
Health advocates scrambled to find another sponsor for the resolution, but at least a dozen countries, most of them poor nations in Africa and Latin America, backed off, citing fears of retaliation, according to officials from Uruguay, Mexico and the United States.
“We were astonished, appalled and also saddened,” said Patti Rundall, the policy director of the British advocacy group Baby Milk Action, who has attended meetings of the assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization, since the late 1980s.
“What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the U.S. holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on the best way to protect infant and young child health,” she said.
In the end, the Americans’ efforts were mostly unsuccessful. It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.

^ Brennan has been labeled "treasonous" so many times he thought he try throwing it at someone else for a change.
"Deflection by Doc, but he misses the goal!"
So, you're saying your orange hero (YOH) was speaking in the best interests of his country? Or are you going to claim again <eyeroll> that he has a much bigger plan in place?
Maybe YOH still had some 'residue' in his mouth and was a little distracted?
