Far-left squad member Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has revealed she is part of a ”resistance lab” to fight the Trump administration.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jayapal was shown attending a training session where she warned that the country was facing the “crumbling of democracy.”
“It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room,” she said.
”It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.
“Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events,” Maddow asked her during the interview.
”Yeah I mean, what we decided is that we really need to help Americans understand what happens when democracies fall when dictators take over,” Jayapal responded.
”We’ve been pretty complacent in America.,” she continued. “We haven’t had to really deal with this in any real way.
“Now I think people need to understand what are the lessons from other countries and working with experts who have studied democratic backsliding in countries around the world and the resistance movements that emerged to take on that democratic backsliding. “
