This week, news broke of a “shocking” and “disturbing” incident involving U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark’s child, Riley Dowell. According to police reports, Riley, who identifies as transgender, was arrested after assaulting a police officer, vandalizing a monument, and other crimes during a protest in Boston Common.
The 23-year-old was arraigned on charges of assault and battery on a police officer, vandalizing property, tagging property, vandalizing a historic monument, and resisting arrest. Riley pleaded not guilty and was released on $500 bail.
As a parent, Rep. Clark expressed her love for Riley and faith in the legal process. But what she doesn’t seem to understand is that Riley’s case is an example of the liberal left’s disregard for law enforcement and political corruption in the justice system.
While liberal politicians are quick to criticize law enforcement, they are often silent when it comes to their families’ misconduct. Riley’s case is a perfect example of this hypocrisy.
The truth is, if Riley was a Republican, there would be outrage and calls for her to face the full consequences of her actions. But because she is a Democrat, very little has been said about the incident by the liberal left.
To make matters worse, the punishment that Riley received was unacceptable. Instead of facing real consequences, she was given a year of probation and ordered to perform 30 hours of community service, write an apology to the officer she struck, and pay the city back for the cost of cleaning up the graffiti.
It’s clear that Riley was given special treatment due to her family’s political connections. This case is a prime example of why the public is so frustrated with the liberal left. It’s time for the Democratic party to take responsibility for their actions and stop protecting people who break the law.
Every person should be celebrated and free to live safely, regardless of their gender expression. Today, Riley and I are celebrating #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay with a reminder that inclusivity and acceptance make our entire community stronger. We see you. pic.twitter.com/tyrygsAPaf

This is an outrage, and it’s time for the public to take a stand against political corruption in the justice system. We must stand up for law enforcement and demand that people who break the law are held accountable. This is the only way to ensure that justice is served in this country.
