“Democrats are waging an all-out war against anyone that opposes them from the Left,” said Black Agenda Report editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley in her Freedom Rider column, “First They Came for Jill Stein.” The Green Party standard bearer “has been a convenient scapegoat” for Hillary Clinton’s defeat, said Kimberley. The vendetta against Stein “is an attack on the ability to publicly oppose U.S. foreign policy and freely communicate with people and governments all over the world.”
