Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein Arrested Before Debate

“Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested outside of Hofstra University on Tuesday after attempting to enter debate grounds.  According to Stein’s campaign press statement, Stein and running mate Cheri Honkala joined supporters outside the Hofstra campus at 2pm, where Stein declared, ‘We are here to bring the courage of those excluded from our politics to this mock debate, this mockery of democracy.’ When they started to walk onto the debate grounds, they were stopped by police officers, and then the two women sat down on the ground.  Stein was arrested and as of early Tuesday evening was still in jail, charged with disorderly conduct.”
