Scott Jennings delivered a blistering reality check on CNN following yet another deadly incident tied to left-wing agitation against federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.
Jennings pulled no punches, calling out the dangerous trend of anti-law enforcement mobs showing up in convoys to sabotage federal agents just doing their jobs.
According to Jennings, Minneapolis is not an isolated case. Instead, it is the latest flashpoint in a nationwide campaign of intimidation aimed at federal law enforcement, particularly ICE officers who are carrying out existing immigration law.
“It strikes me that we are undergoing an epidemic of political vigilantism right now,” Jennings said.
“Why are people showing up in vehicles, in convoys, not just in Minneapolis, but all over the country in an effort to obstruct lawful federal law enforcement activities?”
According to Department of Homeland Security, Jennings noted, ICE agents have faced hundreds of vehicle-based attacks, including ramming incidents, while attempting to carry out lawful duties.
“Why are people believing that they can drive their car into a federal law enforcement situation and that is an appropriate thing to do?” he added.
Jennings nailed it. This isn’t a protest. It’s domestic terrorism, egged on by radical Democrats who hate borders and love chaos. He continued, exposing the hypocrisy.
“I understand they don’t like the fact that these agents are enforcing existing immigration law, but that’s not how we change laws in this country. If you don’t like law, you talk to the politicians.
“You don’t drive your car into the middle of a building or a law enforcement situation that’s being occupied by the people who are simply there to enforce the law. If I don’t like how much the IRS is charging me in taxes, I don’t drive my car into the Treasury Department try to run somebody over. I call my congressman,” he said.
And here’s where Jennings really exposed the rotten core of the Democrat machine: He directly linked this violence to inflammatory rhetoric from top Minnesota officials like Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and Governor Tim Walz.
Flanagan infamously urged activists to “put your bodies on the line” during a rally regarding Line 3 (an oil pipeline project), while Walz has been smearing ICE agents as “Gestapo” thugs.
“Political vigilantism is being encouraged by Democratic officials like the lieutenant governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, who earlier this year told people to ‘put your bodies on the line’ and Tim Walz calling these guys gestapo all year. What do you think happens when you radicalize a base of people about this?” Jennings demanded.
Exactly! What do you expect when top Dems compare law enforcement to Nazis and call for physical confrontation? Blood on the streets, that’s what.
This is the direct result of years of anti-cop, anti-border propaganda from the likes of AOC, Ilhan Omar, and the entire Soros-funded machine.
WATCH:
Meanwhile, Flanagan released a statement following the incident, accusing ICE agents of being “out of control.”
“ICE has committed an unspeakable act of violence today, shooting and killing a woman in South Minneapolis,” Flanagan added.
“These masked agents are out of control and creating real chaos in our state. ICE must leave Minnesota immediately – before more people are hurt. In the face of their violence, let us remain peaceful, calm, and united. Minnesotans will not allow Trump and his thugs to turn our communities into war zones.”
President Trump warned us about this during his campaigns. It’s time for accountability: investigate Walz, Flanagan, and every blue-state official who’s inciting violence against federal officers.
