Scores of violent, criminal left-wing protesters assaulted law enforcement officers at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, earlier this week. However, Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) used the incident to demonize law enforcement officers instead. After hours of violent attacks on Delaney Hall, organized and instigated by masked left-wing agitators, Sherrill did what Democrats do in these situations: blame law enforcement. Instead of criticizing, denouncing, or demanding accountability of the violent perpetrators, she used her platform to vilify and demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, as so many other Democrats have done over the last two years.

“Last night, masked individuals at Delaney Hall attacked the barrier in the protected protest area and began aggressive and dangerous actions against Newark and New Jersey State Police, including throwing projectiles, utilizing the barriers as weapons, and lighting tires on fire in the street,” Sherrill posted. “These actions put both peaceful protestors and law enforcement in danger. The police were not in protective gear; they had been on location since early in the morning ensuring protestors and counter protestors had areas to exercise their rights safely. As these dangerous actions took place, additional support was needed to protect civilians and law enforcement.”
