Speaker 1: Washington State, one of the first US areas hit by
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, still dealing with the fallout. Over the weekend,
Speaker 1: people gathered at the state capitol and Olympia to protest
Speaker 1: stay at home orders, which remain in place. A bunch
Speaker 1: of these protesters apparently picked up some tactics on the left.
Speaker 1: On Facebook, they posted the names, emails, and phone numbers
Speaker 1: of snitches who had contacted the state to tattle on
Speaker 1: businesses that opened in spite of the stay at home orders.
Speaker 1: Two groups are behind the social media effort to out
Speaker 1: the snitches. One group is Reopened Washington State. The other
Speaker 1: group is the Washington State three per Centers, named after
Speaker 1: the three percent of colonists who supposedly resisted British rule
Speaker 1: during the Revolutionary War. They posted a spreadsheet identifying those
Speaker 1: who tattled the government with this message, you want to
Speaker 1: snitch on your neighbor, don't expect to hide behind your
Speaker 1: computer screen. Leftist activist to use this tactic for years
Speaker 1: on people. They've published the names of conservative political donors.
Speaker 1: They've even threatened the jobs of people who contribute to
Speaker 1: battot initiatives they don't like. But now all of a
Speaker 1: sudden political outing has liberals outraged. How dare these right
Speaker 1: wing protesters snitch on their snitches. It's just deplorable. It's
Speaker 1: beyond the pale. It's amazing how things can change on
Speaker 1: a dime.
