Climate activists claim to be 'brutalized' by Granholm's security

“Today we turned up to a keynote by the pro-pipeline U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm,” activist group Climate Defiance posted on Twitter after the event in Birmingham, Mich. “We were peaceful. Her henchmen brutalized us anyway.”

The group claimed one protester received bruises “the size of baseballs” and another was “dragged out by the ears.” The disruptors chanted about Granholm’s support for the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a natural gas project in Appalachia. The event, sponsored by the Detroit Free Press, continued after the activists were dragged out.

“No MVP. No LNG. Granholm, you are killing me,” the protesters yelled, referencing the liquified natural gas that would be carried in the pipeline. Granholm has repeatedly defended the pipeline, arguing it’s necessary for energy security and moving to a zero-emissions system.
