Definitely in the running for a Goebbels Award

Two women who have been speaking out vigorously against the move to defund the police are not, according to the New York Daily News, protestors, but "right-wing gadflies". You know how the Daily News knows this? Because the women "were identified Sunday as attention-seeking anti-abortion protesters who have pulled similar stunts before".

So, BLM and Antifa protestors (and rioters) are not "left-wing gadflies" for some reason, and, I guess, wearing pink pussy hats is not some kind of attention-seeking stunt that automatically invalidates the authenticity of Street Yowlers for Infanticide.

Assuming the New York Daily News still comes out in a paper edition, it is hard to imagine a fish with even low self-esteem willing to be wrapped in it.

Update Btw, New York Daily News, is Maxine Waters what you might call a hyper-partisan, race-obsessed gadfly? "Maxine Waters ‘Yells At’ Deputies After She Intervenes In Traffic Stop Of Black Man".
“They stopped a brother, so I stopped to see what they were doing,” the California Democrat tells a person who recorded the Friday incident on South Vermont Avenue...
If it had been a white man who got stopped, would Maxine have intervened? Is a "brother" just a black man who, because of his skin color, has platinum constituent status in Maxine's district?

attention-seeking protesters? How dare protesters seek attention! Especially if (clutching pearls) 'They are not of our kind, m'dear'.

Maxine Waters doesn't even live in her district, but in Hancock Park about 6 miles outside it. Because she sold her "equity" in their luxury home to her husband (for $2.2 million), doesn't mean she's exempt from the rules.

She sold her equity? Is that like being sold into slavery?

She sold her share of the property to him, so the title to the property would be entirely in his name. She claims that absolves her of the Congressional residency rule (the one that says she must reside in the District she represents). She owns a rental property at the very northern edge of her district that is her "official residence".

I bet she couldn't find the place with a GPS app.
