Vice News reports:
The leader of a far-right extremist group in Arizona sprayed mace into the faces of abortion-rights activists and their children on Sunday night, according to the protesters and eyewitnesses. The incident happened in downtown Tempe during a second night of protests at the end of Roe v. Wade.
On Saturday night, Jennifer Harrison, the leader of the extremist AZ Patriots group, had harassed and berated protesters, livestreaming everything to her Facebook followers.
On Sunday night, she returned in her car and sprayed what bystanders said was bear mace into the faces of several protesters, reportedly including several children. One eyewitness reported that paramedics were also called to the scene and several protesters were taken away by ambulance for further treatment.
Read the full article. No arrest has been made.
If Harrison’s name rings a bell, that’s because of a 2019 incident in which a man laughed so uproariously at her batshit ranting that he became the meme legend known as Green Shirt Guy.
Later in 2019, she was appointed as a Republican precinct committee member. As you see below, in 2020 she was arrested for alleged felony identify theft.
The AZ Patriots has been listed as an anti-immigrant hate group by the SPLC.

The march took to the streets around Tempe Beach. Jen Harrison of the “AZ Patriots” militia just drove by and fucking maced the group.

Far right Arizona extremist Jennifer Harrison maced abortion rights activists and their kids last night from her car.

Remember Jennifer Harrison? The inspiration for the “green shirt guy” meme. She was just arrested for Identity Theft. She claims the law doesn’t apply to her, because it’s only meant for criminals. Hello Criminal. ? pic.twitter.com/k4RaBa619K

AZ Patriots leader Jennifer Harrison has now been arrested on suspicion of felony identity theft. You can’t make this stuff up as she was part of the insipid Tucson protest that inspired the green shirt guy: https://t.co/g87sdqaALb pic.twitter.com/Rom1yJuidB

Maricopa protest leader Jennifer Harrison — the woman with the dark hair in the elections office here — was charged earlier this month with a felony for allegedly stealing her former father-in-law’s identity. https://t.co/Hkcv7Qs0nm

Jennifer Harrison, the leader of the AZ Patriots, has agreed to enter a diversion program that will let her avoid a felony charge of identity theft. https://t.co/fzSiQqrUy6
