It’s strange that a foreigner who clearly despises America would want to stay here.

Therese Okoumou, the woman arrested on July 4th for scaling the Statue of Liberty and threatening officers attempting to rescue her, denounced America and smeared Americans as “drug addicts” and “KKK” this week.

“America!” she screeched, her voice cracking, as the crowd joined in.

“America, you motherf*ckers! You drug addicts! You KKK! You fascist USA!” The Congo native yelled.

No one joined in. The man standing to her left, presumably her lawyer, had the smile escape his face.

Some in the crowd joined Okoumou’s denouncement as she screamed it a third time.

At a previous press conference, Okoumou said she was inspired by Michelle Obama during the stunt.

Therese Okoumou told reporters, “Michelle Obama, our beloved First Lady, who I care so much about, said, ‘When they go low, we go high,’ and I went as high as I could,” prompting cheers from on-lookers.

As she spoke to reporters, she wore a t-shirt that read, “White supremacy is terrorism.”

Lumen Student News captures the essence of Okoumou’s antics:

Around 3pm on Wednesday, a woman began climbing the Statue of Liberty to protest the U.S. immigration policy. Therese Okoumou climbed the base of the statue, forcing an evacuation of Liberty Island on its busiest week of the year.

Authorities said that they didn’t know if the woman was a threat, therefore the entire island had to be evacuated, disrupting the plans of countless tourists and many Americans as they tried to pay tribute to America’s Independence. Okoumou was not friendly with authorities as they attempted to coax her down from the statue and she even threatened to push their ladder off of the statue while they were on it.

After hours of persistence, authorities were able to apprehend Okumou and help her safely off of the statue. Earlier that same day, a anti-ICE protest had taken place at the Statue of Liberty and it was confirmed Okoumou was among them.

“Rise and Resist,” a pro-illegal immigration group Okoumou is involved with, distanced itself from her.
