CLAYTON — Two activists who participated in a pro-Palestine protest last spring at Washington University now face charges, the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Those charged include Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green Party in 2024, who is accused of hitting a police officer with a bicycle and kicking him at the protest. Stein, 74, was charged Friday with first-degree trespass and fourth-degree assault.
In charging documents, Washington University police said demonstrators were given numerous warnings to leave the university’s private campus. Officers moved in for arrests around 8 p.m. Court documents alleged Stein interlocked her arms with other demonstrators and refused to leave.
In an interview with the Post-Dispatch just days after the protest, Stein disputed accounts that she struck an officer.
“While I was being assaulted with a bicycle, one of the police bent down and picked up my foot in order to try to further destabilize me into falling backwards,” Stein said. “And I wiggled out of his grip, you know, in an effort not to fall back on my head.”
I’m sorry you are so ignorant to not know that. The education system must have failed to teach you basic researching skills
Here’s a link to her wiki. She ran for governor and lost. Then went to presidency multiple times and lost.
And her history is shes a physician who just held rallies. Shes never accomplished even a small local position in congress.
If you think this wiki is wrong, change it. Show me you know more than me.

As stupid as using Wikipedia is as a source, it still literally shows you others things she has done. Quit pretending to be ignorant
Give me one good example of something she did. I’ll search it up.
I guess I was right about you never being taught basic research skills….

Waaah waaah, everyone that doesn’t agree with me on this thing I admit that I know nothing about it a bot!! Waaah waaah
Why is the default in this comments section to downvote a curiosity into why people like this woman? I genuinely want to understand your point of view.
And all I get is mockery, a mod deleting my comment, and snark.
Ive genuinely been curious why she always runs for presidency and what other accomplishments shes done that she thinks she’s built up her resume.
I am really tired of the snark. What a shame.
She’s the only candidate, aside from cornel west, that didn’t ran a genocide platform. Also advocates for decent policies like free education, healthcare and a green/sustainable economy.
If you’re going by accomplishments: Id rather have someone with what in your eyes are no accomplishments then the known accomplishment of facilitating genocide and increasing geopolitical tensions that blue and red maga brought onto the table
That’s not true, Claudia de la Cruz did too
True.
Running doesn’t mean shit. Why would anyone start with the president seat without any proven smaller office work first?
Unless their model is to make democrats lose. You cant have viable third party candidates without universal ranked choice voting.
Because these parties don’t have the funds to run a hundred small campaigns that are gonna get sued to shit by democrats and Republicans alike anyway. And they don’t have the funds because the two wings of the corporate party have killed fair campaign funding all over the country, and why not? They’re making a killing selling their vote for cash and their voters still rabidly defend them
Omg then run and win a local office. Not the presidency!!!
Oh, so you’re not actually interested in reasons, you’re just selecting a dialogue option.
I just dont get it. So her only accomplishment is being pro Palestine? But not one person has told me any of relevant political history that makes sense that this woman ran for presidency.
No one is obligated to tell you shit. It’s your fault that you are too foolish to learn anything on your own. Are we Stein? Are we? Why do you think any of us care to answer these stupid and irrelevant questions that have nothing to do with the post here?
