Protester Attempts “Citizen’s Arrest” on Rove

HeadlineOct 22, 2008

Former White House deputy Karl Rove came under protest Tuesday while speaking at the Mortgage Bankers Association Convention in San Francisco. Rove was sharing the stage with former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell when a protester attempted a citizen’s arrest.

Janine Boneparth: “Why is there no woman up here? We need a California woman up here. I am one. I’m Janine Boneparth. I have to do a citizen’s arrest — a citizen’s arrest for treason.”

Protests have also continued outside the convention hall during the week-long gathering, with demonstrators calling for a moratorium on home foreclosures.
