Casten will host a virtual panel discussion about extremism and the constitutional sheriffs movement Sunday night. The public event is set for 6 p.m. on Casten's Facebook page, facebook.com/RepSeanCasten.

 

------------------

 

Sheriffs who follow the movement believe they are the supreme law enforcement authority in their counties and refuse to enforce laws they deem unconstitutional. The movement has [sic] ties to anti-government and white supremacist groups. [/sic]

Casten is a far left extremist but even he slipped up and admitted the truth:

He must be talking about something the left holds dear, like gender pills, or abortion-inducing medications.

He was talking about the failed War On Drugs but he accidentally admitted his war against guns is also a failure.

From my congressman to discuss us I would Imagine. 

 

 

Join me this Sunday at 6pm CST for a virtual panel titled "A Rise in Extremism:  A Closer Look into Authority and the Constitutional Sheriffs Movement". I will be joined by experts on extremism and the Constitutional Sheriffs movement.

 

Following the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban and the unilateral actions of some sheriffs in Illinois, I determined this would be an important conversation to have. RSVP here to join me.

Violating the Constitutional guarantees of the citizens is extreme.  That is the rise in extremism that should be stopped.

The panel should be propositioned with a question like this.
