Is Jeff Sessions Really PROSECUTING Woman For Simply Laughing At Him?

Tuesday, U.S. prosecutors formally pressed charges against Desiree Fairooz, a female “CodePink” activist over her “disorderly and disruptive conduct,” and a separate charge of “parading, demonstrating, or picketing within the Capitol,” a crime.

Many fake news outlets are reporting, Fairooz is being prosecuted for simply laughing during the Sessions January confirmation hearing in the Senate. However, Fairooz, a longtime protester affiliated with the anti-war group CodePink, had to be escorted out of the room for multiple outbursts, including disrupting in response to Senator Richard Shelby‘s claim that Sessions had a “clear and well-documented” history of “treating all Americans equally under the law.”

According to a U.S. Capitol police officer, Fairooz was charged by the government with “disorderly and disruptive conduct” for her outbursts, as well as a second charge for “parading, demonstrating, or picketing within the Capitol” as she was being led out.

In 2007, Fairooz was barred from Capitol Hill after she covered her hands in fake blood and approached Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the start of another congressional hearing. Ali-Fairooz said that the blood “of millions of Iraqis” was on the hands of the Bush administration.
