The 34-year-old librarian made clear she does not advocate violence, but nevertheless insisted that her one-meter (three-foot) sign, complete with tin foil blade, "communicated the visual language" of revolutionary fervor she longs for less than three months into Donald Trump's presidency. "It's easy to be overwhelmed with all of the horrible things going on" under Trump's leadership, she told AFP at the base of the Washington Monument, just blocks from the White House.
