‘No Kings’ Protest Turns Into A Rallying Cry For Political Violence

In the fall of 2022, a disabled 300-pound Air Force veteran in his mid-70s by the name of Craig Robertson posted the following message on Facebook from his home in Provo, Utah: “Hey Merrick Garland, You Demented Weasel. Send your FBI SWAT team to my house.”

Less than a year later, Merrick Garland did exactly that. Shortly before 6:00 AM, a heavily armed FBI SWAT team showed up at Robertson’s door. They brought an armored vehicle with them, along with night-vision goggles, ballistic shields, and a mechanical boom that they used to shatter his windows. Dozens of agents then launched flashbangs and barged into his home, without even giving him the opportunity to get dressed. When Robertson awoke, startled, officers say he pointed a handgun at them. They quickly shot him several times, then dragged his body onto the sidewalk — where it remained, unattended, for several hours.

As news of the killing spread, various members of the media — including one of my producers — filed records requests so that we could see the FBI bodycam footage of the shooting. But we never received it. The FBI acknowledged that the footage exists, but they’ve refused to share it. To this day, the FBI insists that the information cannot be released, saying it might interfere with some vague, unmentioned “law enforcement proceedings.”

Meanwhile, as they hid the evidence, the Biden administration celebrated what they had done. The neighbors were horrified, but the Biden White House was thrilled with the outcome. Craig Robertson, they said, had threatened Joe Biden’s life in various Facebook posts. And because Biden was visiting Utah that day, the FBI had no choice but to assault the man’s home — even though he was crippled. Watch:

Biden’s spokesman is just happy no law enforcement officers got hurt. He’s grateful that this terrorist mastermind — this crippled 75-year-old obese man, who needs a cane to get around — was taken out, without any loss of innocent life.

What’s left unstated by Biden’s spokesman — and by the corporate media — is that, more than six months before this pre-dawn raid, FBI agents watched Craig Robertson drive to church, which he did every week. They saw him hobble with his cane, sit down in the pews, attend a service, and then hobble back home. And then when he got home, the agents asked him a series of questions about his Facebook posts — to which Robertson replied, “don’t come back without a warrant.”

So they were tracking this guy for the better part of a year. They knew his routine. They knew of his physical condition. And they knew he was highly paranoid about law enforcement — justifiably so, it turns out.

Therefore, whatever you make of Robertson’s Facebook posts — some of them were probably illegal, under the law — it’s obvious that the FBI had no reason whatsoever to besiege his home before 6:00 AM, as if he was Osama bin Laden. They could’ve walked up to him on his way to church and put him in handcuffs. They could’ve placed him under surveillance, to see if he was really going to suit up in camouflage and try to assassinate Joe Biden. They also could’ve taken his cane away, and told him to go to sleep. All of these options would’ve worked fine.

But it’s obvious why Joe Biden’s FBI decided against taking any of these steps. They wanted to kill Craig Robertson. They knew he would grab his revolver if they tried to break into his home at 6:00 AM. They knew his response would give them the pretext they needed.

And then, as they sprawled Craig Robertson’s lifeless body on the sidewalk, they’d be able to send a very clear message to every other so-called “MAGA Republican” in the country.

Just months before Robertson was shot to death, Joe Biden — flanked by Marines, in front of a blood-red background — declared that “MAGA Republicans” were the single greatest domestic terror threat faced by Americans.

In no uncertain terms, Joe Biden ordered his entire administration, including the FBI, to pursue MAGA Republicans as if they were members of Al Qaeda. And that’s exactly what the FBI’s field office in Salt Lake City did, when they attacked the home of Craig Robertson. They were following Biden’s orders.

Now that the Biden administration is out of power, it’s easy to forget about the story of Craig Robertson. But we shouldn’t forget about it, for several reasons. First of all, obviously, it’s a reminder of what Democrats will do if they ever return to power. They won’t simply imprison their political enemies. They’ll happily kill them, if they can concoct any justification for doing so.

But there’s now another reason to revisit the case. Over the weekend, as you may have seen, Democrats held a series of so-called “No Kings” protests in various locations across the country. Yes, they were sparsely attended, and many of the attendees were old pathetic geezers. But these protests still served a purpose. They allowed Democrats to openly call for the deaths of their political opponents. And these were not the idle, online threats of a disabled 75-year-old man. They were threats of violence that were made, in public and in broad daylight, by people who have the capacity to carry them out — many of whom were demonstrating their allegiance to Antifa, a known terrorist organization.

As you watch some of these threats of violence, ask yourself: Why haven’t any of these people been raided by FBI SWAT teams at 6:00 AM? Why haven’t any of them had their windows demolished by armored vehicles, before they can even put their clothes on? That’s not to say these people should suffer the same fate as Craig Robertson. And I’m certainly not saying that the FBI should concoct a pretext to kill any of these people.

But at the same time, as long as we’re pretending that the rule of law still exists in this country, you’d think they’d suffer some consequences for breaking the law, just as Craig Robertson supposedly broke the law. And yet, as far as we know, none of the Leftists who made threats of violence have even been questioned by federal authorities — much less arrested, much less attacked in their own homes at 6:00 AM.

This is footage from the perimeter of a “No Kings” protest in downtown Chicago over the weekend.

Christopher Sweat, with Graystak Media, shot this footage. Watch:

“You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.” In the longer clip, the man says that killing ICE agents is necessary to ensure justice for “black people” and “working class people” and “Palestine.” 

By any measure, this is unlawful speech. The man should be arrested for it. The feds should seize all of his computers and cellphones, and figure out who he’s been coordinating with, if anyone. We need to know if anyone is funding him, too. These are basic steps that need to be taken to ensure that more conservatives aren’t assassinated. So — is anyone taking them? We have no idea, at the moment. Certainly, there’s been no statement from the DOJ that this person has been arrested, or that his home has been raided. The man has supposedly been identified by random internet detectives as a staff member at Wilbur Wright College, which wouldn’t be remotely surprising. Some of the most deranged, violent Leftists work in “academia.”

But we don’t have official confirmation at this point, even though we should have it. We need to see mass arrests after these so-called “protests.” Here’s another threat of violence.

This one was captured by Brandi Kruse, of the “Undivided” podcast. The footage is from Seattle. Watch:

There’s another video that Brandi Kruse uploaded, shortly after this one, in which a random middle-aged guy — who looks relatively normal — says basically the same thing. He agrees that it would be, “justifiable” to murder Stephen Miller. Again, this is the prevailing sentiment on the Left right now.

The FBI is apparently aware of this footage, according to Brandi Kruse. But we don’t know exactly what that means. The FBI certainly hasn’t released a statement saying they’ve arrested this person and thrown him in solitary confinement. And until that happens, they might as well do nothing at all. Until there’s an actual crackdown on these people — with a tenth of the intensity of the Biden administration’s crackdown on conservatives — then nothing will change. They will continue threatening us, and killing us, with total impunity.

And indeed, that was the entire point of the so-called “No Kings” protests.

This is footage from Chicago, in which a woman mocks the assassination of Charlie Kirk, as Kirk’s supporters drove by.

She mimes a gun shooting someone in the neck. Watch:

🚨 BREAKING: This woman who mocked and justified the assassination of Charlie Kirk publicly and with glee is reportedly a CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL teacher.

She must be FIRED if so!

In probably the least surprising development of all time, this woman has been identified online as a “public school teacher” in Chicago. There’s no official confirmation, but her reported school — Nathan Hale Elementary School — apparently just deleted its X account and took its entire website offline. So that seems like confirmation. It’s also yet another pretty strong indicator that you should homeschool your children, immediately — or at least take them out of public school. A huge number of public school teachers think like this. They’re truly demented individuals, and they want your children to end up just like them. There’s a very high likelihood that, if your child is in public school and you’re a conservative, his teacher wants him dead and you dead alongside him. That’s just the reality.

And again, this woman belongs in prison. She’s threatening Charlie Kirk supporters, to their faces. It’s unambiguous. So why hasn’t she been arrested? Where’s the SWAT team for her?

We’ll run through a few more examples of Leftists glorifying violence at these so-called “protests.” Some of these don’t rise to the level of criminal conduct, necessarily — but they do give you a sense of the prevailing sentiment on the Left.

This is footage from The Maine Wire. Watch:

One of the things you probably noticed, watching this clip, is that the woman seems happy, overall. She’s out there on her birthday. She’s smiling. Other than being massively overweight, she seems normal enough. And then, without missing a beat, or changing her sing-songy demeanor in any way, she says she’d be thrilled if another human being — the president of the United States — died a horrible death. And the women behind her clearly think the same way.

Of course, if this woman really believed she was living in a fascist empire, under a King, she wouldn’t be allowed outside to protest at all. And she certainly wouldn’t be happy, smiling for the cameras, as if she’s out for a picnic. She wouldn’t be joking around with her friends. So how do we explain this inconsistency?

One way to think of these protests is that — for a large contingent on the Left — they’re an opportunity to do something with their very empty and dysfunctional lives. They don’t believe in God. Many of them have damaged relationships with their family and friends, if they have relationships at all. They’re profoundly hateful people, indistinguishable from demons. They’ve been “affirmed” and indoctrinated for decades, even as the central promises of their ideology, one by one, have turned out to be lies. So in their boredom and nihilism, they attempt to express themselves through aimless, astroturfed protests about a monarchy, even though we don’t even have a monarchy. Without any guiding principles or morality — and without any fear of consequences — they have no problem making death threats, or making light of death. It’s entertaining for them. It’s all they have left.

That’s presumably why this elderly man, for example, showed up to a protest dressed as Charlie Kirk’s assassin. A normal man, of this age, would be playing with his grandchildren, or going to church, or reading a book, or tending a garden. He’d also, by this point, have come to terms with his own mortality.

But when elderly, immature men haven’t come to terms with their own mortality — when they don’t believe in God — this is the natural result. They use irony to mask their very deep-seated insecurity over their own impending demise.

And to be clear, there’s no age limit, or age requirement, on this kind of thinking.

Here’s the Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair in Crawford County:

She’s holding a sign calling for Donald Trump to be “86’d,” as in, assassinated. Again, it’s all very flippant. They’re smiling. And why wouldn’t they be? They don’t think anyone’s going to do anything about it. In fact, they know it’ll make them even more popular in the Democrat Party.

The Daily Signal spoke to a woman at yesterday’s protests who voiced similar sentiments. She repeated a bunch of lies about Charlie Kirk, compared him to Hitler, and said she was grateful he’s dead. And in the same breath, she said she’s a very nice lady. Watch:

NO KINGS PROTESTER: Charlie Kirk Is a ‘Piece of Garbage,’ ‘I’m Glad Hitler Is Dead’

This is the official position of every single true believer in the Democrat Party, without exception. That’s why there’s so much footage like this. They want you dead. They will dance on your grave. And as they do so, they will tell themselves that they’re very kind people, really. They’ll claim that, by blowing your head off, they’re being compassionate. And they’ll inevitably invoke Hitler — not because they understand history, or care about factual accuracy, but because it makes them feel like they’re a vital part of an existential struggle.

“I don’t know how anyone your age even thinks about having children,” says the older woman.

After all, how could you have children, when climate change is going to destroy the world? How could you have children, when we have a “king” who’s going to enslave all the women? How could you have children when, instead, you could focus entirely on yourself? Rather than raise a family, you could save civilization from the neo-Nazis who lurk behind every corner!

Like all deeply-held beliefs that are rooted in narcissism, these propositions fall apart the moment you think about them for a second. For example, in this clip, the woman says that everyone — including illegal aliens — deserves healthcare. (She also wants the government to forgive student loans, punish hate speech, et cetera). That’s her proposal, at this “No Kings” rally. But the only way to achieve any of these objectives is to massively expand the power of the Executive Branch, far beyond its current capabilities. They want to force doctors, at gunpoint, to provide services to people who can’t pay for it.

In other words, they do, in fact, want a king. They just want a king who’s on their side. And just to underscore that point — not that it really needed to be underscored — here’s a post from the website of “Democrats Abroad,” which has been organizing “No Kings” protests overseas for the past six months.

Screenshot: https://www.democratsabroad.org/

“A few notes: We’ve changed the ‘No Kings’ theme of other events around the world to ‘No Tyrants’, so as not to mix messages in a country with a monarchy. We’re also swapping out ‘NO CROWNS’ in favor of ‘NO CLOWNS.’ Come dressed as a Trump clown. Think bad blond wig, orange face, long red tie, or whatever gets your creative juices flowing.”

Yes, after months of campaigning against a “King,” Leftists have realized that some of their favorite countries, like Canada and the UK, have a king.

Meanwhile, the United States — which just voted Donald Trump into office with a majority of the popular vote and the support of every single swing state — does not have a king. And that’s obviously a bit inconvenient, for the whole “No Kings” messaging, which is intended to protest Donald Trump. So now they’ve called an audible, at least in some parts of the world.

It’s enough to make you think these people may not be completely honest about their intentions. This footage has the same effect:

In Seattle, as you can see, Leftists dressed up as “LICE AGENTS” and rolled around in the dirt, on the Constitution. Get it? They’re LICE agents, instead of ICE agents. It’s reminiscent of the “No Kings” protests from a few months ago, when Leftists paid money to berate effigies of Donald Trump. This is now a well-established pattern of unhinged behavior. It’s not a one-off.

So it’s incumbent on conservatives, at this point, to answer the following question: How should we respond, when our political opponents are openly deranged, immature, nihilistic, and most importantly, committed to murdering every single one of us?

Here’s a thought. We shouldn’t respond by obsessing over naughty jokes in a Republican group chat. We shouldn’t spend weeks fighting amongst ourselves, when no one on the Left — under any circumstance — would do the same thing. Instead, we should recall what they did to Craig Robertson. We should think about the FBI SWAT team that shot up his house because he ranted about Joe Biden. And we should keep Craig Robertson in mind as we pursue the Leftists making threats today — not because they should suffer the same fate, but because they’re far, far greater threats to us, than Craig Robertson ever was to Joe Biden. And after the murder of Charlie Kirk, and the celebration of political violence that just took place all over the country under the guise of “No Kings” protests, we should treat them accordingly.
