The government official baselessly asserted the Supreme Court would target LGBT legislation in their next move before attempting to rile up her followers in an apparent call to take physical action.
We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!

Her statement comes pro-abortion demonstrations become increasingly violent.
Churches are being forcibly entered and vandalized, anti-abortion organization offices are being firebombed, and angry mobs are showing up on the doorstep of conservative Justices’ private homes.
Lightfoot’s rhetoric runs the risk of not only inciting further actions but providing a justification for bad actors already willing to use force.
