The US Department of Antifa: One of the "Activists" That Stalked and Harassed DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen Is... a Department of Justice Employee

We are coming to the point of actual violence.

She's also a socialist.

One of the activists who chased Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant Tuesday night over the Trump administration's immigration policies is an employee of the Department of Justice, The Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed.

Members of the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America crashed Nielsen’s meal with a demonstration full of chants and other outbursts.

One of those participants, Allison Hrabar, actually works for the Trump administration -- as a paralegal in the DOJ...

An employee within the Trump administration initially tipped TheDCNF off about Hrabar's presence at the protest.

The Washington Examiner spoke with Hrabar Wednesday and she defended her behavior as off government time and a use of her First Amendment rights.

"If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace," she told The Examiner. "We aren't the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and ICE at dinner can confront them like this, and that’s what we hope this will inspire people to do."

Despite Hrabar's claims of keeping her personal politics outside of her time as an employee of the federal government, a look at her Twitter account, @allisongeroi, features tweets during the workday openly celebrating her behavior Tuesday night.

No, you're not, in fact, the only people who can do this. You should keep that in mind yourself, if you socialists also want "peace" in your lives.

When the social compact is torn up, it's torn up for one and all.

Erick Erickson's I'm-Safe-For-CNN claim that there is no Deep State is looking even weaker than when he first farted it out.

Of course, this notion of a single grand conspiracy is overblown, but it leads to counter-arguments, like Erick Erickson's recent tweet about the FBI inspector general's report:

There is no coup. There is no sinister deep state. There is no dark conspiratorial force. It’s incompetence, idiocy, bureaucratic self-aggrandizement, and partisan hackery all the way down.

Since there are no risible meetings of a Secret Cabal, it follows (for people like Erickson) that there's no Deep State at all. This is a fallacy that is so widespread it's endemic, part of the popular wisdom: a complicated system has to have a Boss, someone to wave the baton and a bureaucracy to follow the Boss's orders, or it won't work at all.

But this is a fallacy. There are plenty of systems we look at every day that have no boss: there is no tree sprite telling each tree how to grow, no homunculus in our head tripping switches and turning knobs with wild abandon trying to keep our bodies working. Instead, there are complicated feedbacks that respond to changing conditions more or less automatically.

Per Erickson's illogic, there must also be no Liberal Media, as there is no firm hierarchy of Generals of Liberal Bias giving orders to their lesser officers of Liberal Bias.

But who knows, given his frequent flattery of CNN, maybe he doesn't think there's such a thing as liberal bias any longer -- at least not at would-be employer CNN.

Sean's mentions of other progressive agitations towards open blood-in-the-streets civil war include Antifa doxxing ICE agents, in case any radicals want to look them up, and former Gawker employee turned HuffPo employee Ashley Feinberg spreading the doxxing information about Stephen Miller's cellphone number:

That, of course, comes on the heels of HuffPo doxxing Twitter agitator @AmyMek a couple of weeks ago -- and then crying when people threatened to dox them in turn.

And cable news is of course calling everyone that disagrees with them Nazis, and you know, of course, that progressives declared that it's okay to physically brutalize anyone any progressive anywhere has declared to be a Nazi.

See Instapundit's post for more, including CNN's Ana Navaro's apparent endorsement of the stalking of public figures.
