Loretta Lynch posts fearmongering video, rights are being ‘trampled on’ calls for marches
The Obama administration’s former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has made a video to call for more marching, blood and death on the streets – a video that was later posted on the Facebook page of Senate Democrats as “words of inspiration.”
The video is less than a minute long and begins by stating that people are experiencing “great fear and uncertainty,” with the unstated implication it is due to President Trump’s takeover of the White House. Lynch says that American’s rights are being “trampled on” and recalls past marches in which people bled and died are a model for how to respond now.

“I know that this is a time of great fear and uncertainty for so many people. I know it’s a time of concern for people who see our rights being assailed, being trampled on, and even being rolled back,” Lynch says, looking straight into the camera. She continues, “I know that this is difficult, but I remind you that this has never been easy.
“We have always had to work to move this country forward to achieve the great ideals of our founding fathers. And it has been people, individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals, who have made the difference. They’ve marched. They’ve bled. Yes, some of them have died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We have done this before; we can do this again.”

Lynch is scheduled to receive the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal of Law from the University of Virginia.
Lynch succeeded Eric Holder as Barack Obama’s attorney general in 2014.
Lynch is most well-remembered for her famous private meeting with Bill Clinton, her former boss, on her airplane while a federal investigation into his wife, Hillary Clinton, and the private email server she maintained as secretary of state was under way. Obama stood behind her when the news leaked out about the secret meeting on her plane sitting on the tarmac of Phoenix airport.
