Jill Stein considers 'civil disobedience' during presidential debate
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — In Rhode Island on Friday, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said she hasn't yet decided if she will try to get arrested — as she did in 2012 — outside the main gates of Hofstra University, where Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, are scheduled to debate on Monday night.
During a speech at Rhode Island College, Stein urged those in the audience to come to New York to stand alongside her, outside Hofstra, in protest against her exclusion from the first televised presidential debate.
"It's going to be kind of a garrison state there, sort of a militarized situation,'' she predicted, "so I don't think there will be any storming of the gates."
"There may be an option for civil disobedience but we don't yet know about that,'' she told a Journal reporter. "At this point we are not asking people to come for the purpose of civil disobedience. We are asking people to come and stand up for our democracy."
