When ‘Reporting’ Sounds Like a Pep Rally: ABC’s Trevor Ault and the Gun-Toting Protester Speculation
Trevor Ault of ABC appears to be doing some major wishcasting.
ABC’s Trevor Ault predicts more Minneapolis protesters will start bringing guns to their confrontations with CBP and ICE and possible use against the agents, claiming fear of their safety…

Hoping against hope protestors take up arms against ICE.
The MN Commies seem to be following the “They’re comin right for us” theory of anti-law militancy. https://t.co/eFjW4N5smy pic.twitter.com/pMvSRI6YLl

Who knew the Democrats were such gun enthusiasts.
The Press: “So, you see, ICE is everywhere, and it’s your right to push back on them. And if you want to bring more guns to your riots, go ahead and do that, because you need to be resolute. No, I’m not encouraging more chaos and violence. Why do you ask?” https://t.co/S8vx7watbm pic.twitter.com/qP0tWCzoW6

They are full on rah-rahing it now.
They need the blood, the public is getting bored otherwise. https://t.co/CVm0JHKiaE

ABC sure sounds like they’re pushing for conflict between protestors and federal agents here. https://t.co/gkn5OvPri6

It can only help their ratings.
an absolutely insane thing to say on national TV is
“You cant rent a certain color SUV in Minnesota or else a mob of psycho communists will assault you “
I refuse to give in to these idiots, they have no right to make people live like this https://t.co/7qGaICfNPB

It doesn’t sound very much like they value freedom and free thought in Minnesota.
To @ABC what a one sided report. Dread – Did you report on Americans dread and outrage when 12M illegals crossed the border? If these dumb protesters bring a gun when ICE arrests a criminal alien -that’s a felony. https://t.co/uu0C4X6mqr

Most Americans still dread those days of open border. It’s why Trump won a second term.
It’s the same playbook they ran in 2020 in the run up to the George Floyd riots. The media just kept banging the drum until they got their ratings boost. https://t.co/g1SrcbYUuk

It’s what they do any time Trump is in office.
I’ve said this before, but don’t be surprised if one of them straps on a vest and walks into a crowd of ICE or Border Patrol. I’m dead serious. These people are willing to die for their cause, which is the Hamas playbook. https://t.co/I4SoF7AVUD

“Im scared federal agents are going to ahoot me so I am going to arm myself and go harass them” is a take, I guess https://t.co/ssVYyfFusi

Journos keep switching back and forth between two modes: openly stoking insurrection against the federal government, and bitching about January 6. https://t.co/ADfZTarbcK

They like it when their side does it.
The tone. Check out the tone. https://t.co/UR5Ilgi2vp

He’s practically giddy.
The blood is on the hands on these liberal media folks who are obviously fanning the fire and suggesting to the protesters to bring their own weapons to the protests. Why nobody bothered to protest the ICE rounding up and deporting illegals during the Clinton and Obama… https://t.co/znmAJUOqUZ

It is fine when Obama does it. He is free to be a traitor.
How would these people be in fear for their life, if they stayed home, ICE would not come to them. They are going TO ICE and involving themselves in a lawful, arrest and deport operation which is THEIR JOB. By inserting themselves, they put themselves in harms way, not justified. https://t.co/fe1mcHMq8F

They are begging for violence.
This is basically a pep talk from the mainstream press to the rioters, encouraging more violence. https://t.co/S8vx7watbm

This isn’t “Trump’s Tyranny”
This is Antifa’s Hot Civil War. https://t.co/cHU7OUrzHb

This is all on the Left. It is their responsibility.
They ceased being “protesters” the moment the Signal chats showed a well funded and organized insurgency, which the participation and support of elected officials. They’re now enemy combatants.

Oh, they are insurgents. Of that, America can be sure.
