In more news from the RNC, the peace group CodePink is facing death threats after a Republican congressmember accused one of its members of “political violence” and branded the group “pro-Hamas.” CodePink says Congressmember Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin falsely accused Nour Jaghama, the group’s Palestine campaign coordinator, of assault after he shoved past her outside the RNC as people waited in line to be let into the security zone. Jaghama, who was wearing a keffiyeh at the time of the incident, was detained for 15 hours and charged with battery. Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, has a history of aggressive behavior, including against fellow members of Congress.
