Hey Charles, when’s the last time you stepped off your elected pedestal & rode Metro? It isn’t always safe or peaceful on normal days. Hate doesn’t beget hate.
Giving white supremicists & hate groups a private Metro railcar is so unbelievably wrong & disgraceful. Beyond the horrible precedent it sets, what does it tell the riding public & operators? Plus, it’s the exact opposite of what @WMATA said they’d do.https://twitter.com/amaxsmith/status/1028705587570331648 …

About every day. It’s how I get to the office and home on most days.

@charlesallen on the D6 regularly. Thank you for speaking up on this issue, Charles.

Already reached out to the WMATA chair about this as soon as I saw it. Thx!

What did Councilmember Evans say?

Wake me for the protests against
@MurielBowser@councilofdc who have effectively (if not ententionally) derailed or destroyed the lives of more black and brown students in the Nation’s Capital than any wh-t-s-or-m-c-st could even dream of doing.#DCision18#unitetherightrallypic.twitter.com/kZJw9l1Bo3

We need resignations , apologies aren’t enough . They cannot hide behind “safety concerns” what other protesters received a private metro escort ? This is unacceptable

And at Metro station they got on without metro payment cards

A black person seen walking the streets in Charlottesville is likely to be harassed by citizens and cops alike for being present. But
@wmata sees fit to escort these bigots and role out the red carpet. DespicableThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
