** Rep. Lee Honors Monument to Rapist/Murderer Huey Newton
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Race-mongering leftist Rep. Barbara Lee ([link removed]) , who has been a prominent supporter of the removal of statues of purportedly “problematic” historical figures, appeared Sunday in Oakland ([link removed]) at the unveiling of a bust of Black Panther ([link removed]) cofounder, rapist, cop killer and murderer Huey P. Newton ([link removed]) .
Lee herself was affiliated with the thuggish Black Panther Party as a “community organizer” in Oakland. She convened a congressional forum in May with Newton’s cofounder, Bobby Seale ([link removed]) , to discuss the FBI initiative in the 1960s and 1970s to infiltrate the black nationalist movement.
Newton was convicted in 1968 of voluntary manslaughter in the killing of Oakland police officer John Frey during a traffic stop. He claimed in the trial that Frey spewed racial epithets at him. His conviction was overturned in 1970 because of a jury instruction error. Newton was also accused of murdering a 17-year-old girl who reportedly called him by his nickname, “Baby.” One former Black Panther, Ericka Huggins, has claimed she was repeatedly raped by Newton, and that he once threatened to “knock your teeth down your throat” after she questioned his handling of finances from a Panther-affiliated school.
Lee has bragged about her support for the Violence Against Women Act, but violence against women (and police officers) is fine with her if the perpetrator was a hero to the radical, racist left like Huey Newton.

** Lee Co-Hosts Forum Featuring Cop-Killers & Former Black Panthers
------------------------------------------------------------
On May 10, 2021, Lee and two fellow Democratic members of the House of Representatives – Steve Cohen ([link removed]) and Bobby Rush ([link removed]) – hosted a forum ([link removed]) about COINTELPRO, the FBI program that tracked the activities of radical leftist organizations in the 1960s and ’70s. Speakers at the forum heaped praise upon several convicted and incarcerated cop-killers – including Mumia Abu-Jamal ([link removed]) , Mutulu Shakur, and H. Rap Brown ([link removed]) (a.k.a. Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin ([link removed]) ) – describing them as “political prisoners.” Lee, who had worked closely with the Black Panther Party
([link removed]) (BPP) in the 1970s, introduced former Panther leader Ericka Huggins at the forum and described her as a “former colleague and comrade.” Huggins and another forum speaker, BPP co-founder Bobby Seale ([link removed]) , had been charged in 1970 with the May 1969 torture and murder of 19-year-old BPP member Alex Rackley, who was suspected of providing information about the BPP to police. Though the charges against Huggins and Seale were eventually dropped after a jury was unable to reach a verdict, a tape recording that was introduced as evidence at their trial proved conclusively that Huggins had indeed been present while Rackley was being tortured. Moreover, in a 1977 retrospective of the case, The Washington Post reported that Huggins had admitted to: (a) boiling water that was subsequently poured onto Rackley as part of the torture, and (b) kicking Rackley and verbally
abusing him while he sat tied to a chair.
