CHICAGO—A self-described “yippie” at the pro-Palestinian demonstrations near the Democratic National Convention praised the Chicago Police Department’s handling of protests that became violent Tuesday night.
The man, who identified himself as “Captain Joint,” said he was involved in the often-intense left-wing protests that marked the late 1960s and early 1970s. At the time, members of the Youth International Party were often called “yippies.”
CHICAGO—Movie legend Spike Lee made his presence felt at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago—appearing during his home state of New York’s roll call on the second night and seen on his way into the event on Aug. 21.
He said Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is one for the record books and noted a need to keep the momentum to achieve victory in November.
CHICAGO—As Democrats at the DNC make their case for how Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz can attract independent voters, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told The Epoch Times that a focus on compassionate projects such as affordable housing could bridge that gap.
“I do believe that people are willing to do, perhaps, what they haven’t done before and vote for a team that comes with a good background … a record of having done good for people and understanding,” Waters said.
CHICAGO—A congressman serving on the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence committees highlighted during an Aug. 21 press conference what he believes are flaws in the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and suggested that a prospective Harris presidency could jeopardize national security.
“The world is in chaos,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) said. “This is not day one for Kamala Harris. This is year four, and she owns every one of the bad decisions that has the Middle East on fire and China on the march in the South China Sea threatening our allies.”
CHICAGO—Superintendent Larry Snelling of the Chicago Police Department estimated that 55 to 60 people were arrested during Tuesday night’s protests outside the Israeli consulate.
“Last night was a danger to our city and a danger to our citizens,” Snelling told reporters during a joint press conference with other local and federal authorities. “We attempted to avoid the clash to no avail.”
He said the exact number of arrests will be provided later.
