State Department Tweets About “Democratic Values” and is Promptly Trolled
The US Department of State posted a Tweet that makes one wonder if they are A) being sarcastic, B) trolling everyone, C) oblivious, or D) all of the above.
The Tweet is in reference to the arrest of protesters at an unsanctioned rally in Moscow. Some 8,000 people protested the alleged corruption of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, which had been reported weeks earlier by opposition activist Aleksey Navalny.
Around 500 protesters, including Navalny, were arrested at the rally on Sunday, reports RT.
U.S. condemns detention of 100s of peaceful protesters in #Russia today. Detaining peaceful protesters is an affront to democratic values.

It didn’t take long for Twitter users to point out the hypocrisy.

Speaking of protestors, here’s how U.S. treats own citizens when they protest. Militarized police that doesn’t give shit about human rights. pic.twitter.com/fYlKcmezmb

Russia arresting peaceful protesters is bad, and should be condemned.
But the US State Dept is not the best entity to do that. pic.twitter.com/Wx2ubaynIe

@StateDept So what about laws being passed in this country limiting protesters’ rights? But do as I say, not as I do amiright?

@StateDept Has this Tweet been authorised by Secretary Tillerson and/or President Trump? My money says not.

@StateDept peaceful protestors are detained & assaulted in the United States. Standing Rock & the water protectors at #NODAPL are examples

@StateDept Kent State, Ohio and Dr. King’s marches are less current but nonetheless fairly recent additional examples on US soil

@StateDept Warrantless, coerced searches of cell phones at borders are an affront to our democratic values.

.@StateDept Pouring one out for the brave civil servant who tweeted this, knowing they’ll likely be fired by Trump tomorrow morning.

By the way, the photo at the top of this article is of former cop John Pike pepper spraying peaceful Occupy protesters who were obviously not a threat to anyone.
