| Protesters Storm Heritage Foundation |
| 2017-04-26 |
| [THEFEDERALISTPAPERS.ORG] The Daily Caller posted a Facebook live video from the Heritage Foundation where Leftist protesters took over the main lobby and began chanting and shouting in protest of the President and GOP Congress’s proposed budget. The budget proposal includes large cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency, among other cuts to agencies dealing with the environment and disaster programs, a proposal which has Leftists in a fit. Chants included shouts of "Water not walls," and "The people will never be divided." The protesters occupied the building for approximately 10-15 minutes, until security was finally able to contain the situation and escort the protesters out of the building. There must have been well over a hundred or so in the lobby area, if not more. It was jam-packed. As the protesters were taken out from the lobby, they all chanted in unison "We’ll be back." Shouts and cheers could be heard from outside the building as well, where the protest continues as of 11:30 am ET. Bongo drums can also be heard as part of the protest. Several different chants have all been made in unison, and new ones are continually coming up as they continue to chant outside the building. One of the speakers using a megaphone said that they do not appreciate strangers telling them what they need in their communities (regarding clean water, climate change issues, etc.) (Sarcasm on) However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... there is no word over whether or not they will resist the strangers at the EPA from telling them what regulations they have to comply with (sarcasm off). One of the protest leaders spoke about her experience in Flint, Michigan and the water crisis that has been happening over the past three years. Noticeably absent was any mention of the President’s recent grant to Flint to help deal with the water crisis (convenient...). |

| #5 "The state is Mother. The state is Father. There is nothing but the State." It's a shame that these people don't realize that they *actually* *are* what they profess to hate. |

| #3 Leftist protesters took over the Heritage Foundation. Just another example of the left trying to shut down free-speech and expression in another institution--it is what they do when they hear, read or see something they disagree with. "The people will never be divided." Actually, it was the radical leftist who occupied the WH during the past 8 years who did a bang up job of dividing us. |

| #2 And proudly show off their cell-phone taken 'home movies' of their glory days to bored neighbors, friends, and family for decades to come. As pointed out they claim they don't want strangers telling them what they need but dont' realize that the EPA *is* doing just that and the budget cuts will actually give them what they profess to want: Less strangers telling them what they need. |
