'How progressive': Daily Kos serves up harassment of Betsy DeVos as a 'lesson in resistance'

Yesterday protesters prevented Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos from using an entrance into a public school, and then followed her closely back to her car. Also, Washington, DC police are investigating a report of assault. DeVos did eventually persist and get into the school through a different entrance, but a post at the Daily Kos applauded the effort to keep a woman from doing her job:

Something tells us if the woman being harassed had been, say, Elizabeth Warren, that take would be quite different.

Physical intimidation of women is the new progressive "courage" https://t.co/INGK4pfYgr

The left is teaching women 'lessons' by physically harassing and intimidating them. This is not viewed as extreme by them. Amazing. https://t.co/1uDbpICJPe

That’s how they roll, apparently.

A 'man' says a woman needs physical harassment to 'teach her a lesson'. Where I'm from, we call that 'domestic abuse'. https://t.co/K5toyU71Tr

Funny how having and R by their names suddenly revokes their woman card.

Think about the example these lunatics are setting for their children. SMH.

"watch as a man puts a woman in her place by yelling and physical intimidation"

Winning hearts and minds, guys.
