Green Party Candidates Detained by the Authoritarian Police State, Prevented from Attending National Debate

Green Party Candidates Arrested at Hofstra Debate

 "Democracy Now!"

Green Party candidates Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala were arrested upon attempting to enter the presidential debate site at Hofstra University on Tuesday night, an election event from which they were barred by the Democrat- and Republican-controlled corporation that runs the debates.

“Do you have credentials?” a university security official asked the women.

“Yes, we do have credentials,” Stein and Honkala replied, explaining that their party is on the presidential ballot in most of the country. The two were apprehended and briefly held by straight-faced security guards wearing broad hats and dark glasses before being removed from the site
