Walz’s Words Incite Political Vigilantism Against Law Enforcement [WATCH]

Scott Jennings discussed what he described as an escalation of political vigilantism directed at federal law enforcement, saying the issue extends beyond a single incident and reflects a broader national trend involving attempts to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement.

Jennings said the death involved was tragic, regardless of political disagreements, and said no one should lose their life during law enforcement encounters.

“So I agree with you, Jonathan, I think there’s some details we don’t know yet, and we’ll have to learn more about it. What strikes me is, first of all, it’s extremely sad and unfortunate that someone died. I mean, the political fighting and disagreements aside, it’s terrible. You don’t want people to die in law enforcement situations or otherwise,” Jennings said.

He said recent incidents point to what he described as a growing pattern of political vigilantism involving vehicles being used to obstruct federal officers.

“But it strikes me that we are undergoing an epidemic of political vigilantism right now. 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? This is not an isolated incident. We have had hundreds of car rammings against ICE agents all over the country,” Jennings said.

Jennings referenced information he said came from the Department of Homeland Security regarding individuals tracking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

“According to DHS, this lady in this car today, along with other vehicles, have been tracking ICE agents around. 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 said.

He said disagreements with immigration law should be addressed through political processes rather than interference with enforcement operations.

“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 a 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,” Jennings said.

Jennings compared the situation to other forms of government enforcement to illustrate his point.

“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.

He said rhetoric from Democratic officials has contributed to radicalization and encouraged confrontational behavior toward federal agents.

“Political vigilantism is being encouraged by Democratic officials like the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, who, earlier this year told people to, quote, 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 said.
