Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein escorted off Hofstra University campus during debate protest

Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein was escorted off the college campus hosting Monday night’s presidential debate, her campaign said.

Nassau County police and Hofstra University security removed Stein from campus Monday afternoon after questioning both Stein and MSNBC over her credentials, Stein wrote on Twitter.

“We were immediately escorted off of the Hofstra campus after the press conference just now and told not to do any more press,” she tweeted.

Stein didn’t have the proper permits to remain on the Long Island campus amid tight security for the debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, Nassau County police told CNN.

“She was on the college campus, we asked to verify for proper credentials, she did not have them, and she was nicely escorted off the campus," a Nassau County police spokeswoman said.

Stein and her supporters gathered outside the campus grounds for a protest they called “#Occupythedebates” on Monday night. Neither she nor Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson achieved the 15% support in polls required to join Trump and Clinton on stage.

"By being here tonight we are standing up and standing together, we will not be silenced," Stein tweeted. "Lesser evilism is a race to the bottom."

I didn't know that! :laugh:


Both Stein and her running mate are wanted in North Dakota on trespassing (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/election/jill-stein-face-charges-protest-pipeline-n-article-1.2782012)and other charges stemming from an energy pipeline protest. She was arrested in 2012 outside Hofstra trying to enter the campus during that year's debate between President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, according to ABC.

Next time just use the water cannons.

I trust that she'd done a full and exhaustive study beforehand of the carbon footprint involved in manufacturing that spray paint .. ??:rolleyes:
