Is peaceful protest becoming more dangerous during the Trump administration? (Elif Genç)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

On May 16, 2017, when members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's diplomatic escort attacked peaceful protesters at a demonstration outside Turkey's foreign embassy in Washington DC, Elif Genç was one of those caught up in the melee. On this week's TrumpWatch, host Jesse Lent talks to the Kurdish women's social movement activist about her harrowing experience of being physically assaulted in plain sight by three of Erdogan's bodyguards and considers whether this signifies a change in the legal protections of peaceful protesters in the Donald Trump era.
