1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Washington State, one of the first US areas hit by

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, still dealing with the fallout. Over the weekend,

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: people gathered at the state capitol and Olympia to protest

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: stay at home orders, which remain in place. A bunch

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: of these protesters apparently picked up some tactics on the left.

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: On Facebook, they posted the names, emails, and phone numbers

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: of snitches who had contacted the state to tattle on

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: businesses that opened in spite of the stay at home orders.

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Two groups are behind the social media effort to out

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: the snitches. One group is Reopened Washington State. The other

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: group is the Washington State three per Centers, named after

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: the three percent of colonists who supposedly resisted British rule

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: during the Revolutionary War. They posted a spreadsheet identifying those

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: who tattled the government with this message, you want to

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: snitch on your neighbor, don't expect to hide behind your

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: computer screen. Leftist activist to use this tactic for years

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: on people. They've published the names of conservative political donors.

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: They've even threatened the jobs of people who contribute to

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: battot initiatives they don't like. But now all of a

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: sudden political outing has liberals outraged. How dare these right

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: wing protesters snitch on their snitches. It's just deplorable. It's

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: beyond the pale. It's amazing how things can change on

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: a dime.
