"America, you motherf**kers”: Protester who climbed Statue of Liberty gives press conference (video)

Brett T. | 3:45 PM on August 04, 2018

If you can remember back before the self-righteous press meltdown over a “CNN sucks” chant, before the hysteria surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court … way back to when separating families at the border was the news cycle outrage du jour, you might remember that a protester climbed onto the foot of the Statue of Liberty on Independence Day and refused to come down until “all the children have been released.”

So we’re guessing Therese “Patricia” Okoumou is another one of those “no borders” immigration rights activists who also can’t shut up about how horrible a country America is — and yet people are still paying smugglers and crossing the border illegally to get in.

Okoumou held a press conference of sorts outside the courtroom Friday. The New York Post reports:

The immigrant rights activist who ruined July 4 for tourists visiting the Statue of Liberty when she scaled the green lady and forced the icon’s evacuation, was in Manhattan federal on Friday pushing for a no-jail guarantee from a judge — and then promptly spewed an anti-American message outside court.

…

Outside court dozens of supporters cheered on the Republic of Congo born woman – who is a naturalized citizen — and she chanted to the crowd, “America you mother f–kers! You drug addicts! You KKK! You fascist USA.”

She faces a year and a half in prison for trespassing, interference with a government agency and disorderly conduct.
