Code Pink: Brace for even more protests in Philly [View all]

Democrats may face even more protests at their convention next week in Philadelphia than have greeted the GOP gathering in Cleveland, Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin said Wednesday.

Benjamin, a former Bernie Sanders supporter who has endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, also took shots at Democratic standard-bearer Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy record.

Clinton is “somebody who has been pushing the military solution for a lot of the problems, especially in the Middle East, instead of pushing much more for diplomatic solutions,” Benjamin said in an interview with POLITICO.

Code Pink will also be in Philadelphia next week to protest the Democratic convention, and Benjamin said she will be there with a group of Sanders supporters.

She has the right to speak (outside); she doesn't have the right to require anyone to listen.
