CodePink Protester Attempts to Make Citizen’s Arrest of Karl Rove

HeadlineMar 31, 2010

Former White House Deputy Karl Rove was the target of an attempted citizen’s arrest earlier this week in California. Rove was speaking in Los Angeles Monday night when members of the group CodePink stormed the stage brandishing handcuffs. CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans said Rove should be arrested for helping lead the US into the invasion of Iraq. Rove was interrupted several more times by protesters accusing him of taking part in war crimes. He eventually left the stage.
