Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) has issued a warning to conservative Americans about “falling for the trap” if they choose to protest against former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment.
Higgins, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, warned Trump supporters that the Department of Justice would like to have “J6 again,” a reference to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
“My fellow conservatives, the DOJ/FBI doesn’t expect to imprison Trump, they expect to imprison you. They want J6 again, in Miami and in your city and in mine. They want MAGA conservatives to react to this perimeter probe and in doing so, set yourselves up for targeted persecution and further entrapment,” Higgins said in a statement on June 11.
“They want to intercept a busload of conservatives en route to protest and create conflicts during the stop. They are hoping to provoke conservative Americans. Don’t fall for the trap. Maintain your family. Live your life. Live free and pay close attention and make your voice heard,” Higgins added.
“Don’t become an incarcerated pawn in the agenda driven DOJ/FBI strategy to oppress conservatives across America.”
Trump arrived in Miami on June 12, one day before his scheduled appearance in federal court, where he will be arraigned on federal charges. The former president faces a total of 37 felony counts over his handling of documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, including violating the federal Espionage Act and other federal statutes for allegedly making false statements, concealing documents, and conspiring to obstruct justice.
On Sunday, Trump urged his supporters to protest peacefully.
“Our country is going communist, it’s going Marxist, it’s going really bad. The people of our country aren’t that way, but the people running it are,” Trump said during a radio interview. “We need strength at this point, and everyone’s afraid to do anything. They’re afraid to talk, and they have to go out and they have to protest peacefully. They have to go.”
Miami’s police chief, Manuel Morales, has said his department is taking Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday “extremely seriously” and it can handle a crowd of up to 50,000.
“President Trump can take care of himself in court, he knows we’ve got his back. The DOJ knows they’ve got nothing on him. They’re doing this because they want you to let your anger overwhelm your strategic judgment and they expect you to step willingly into their trap,” Higgins added.
“We will fight against this oppression. We are indeed, with every ounce of spirit, fighting against the insidious evil that threatens our beloved Republic, but We the People must fight against oppression legally, peacefully, and within the parameters of our Constitution.”
Polls
Before Trump’s indictment was unsealed on June 8, a new Gallup poll revealed that more Americans considered themselves to be conservative on social issues since 2012.
The poll, which queried 1,011 U.S. adults from May 1 to May 24, found that 38 percent of respondents said they were conservative or very conservative on social issues, up from 33 percent in 2022 and 30 percent in 2021. Meanwhile, the percentage said they were liberal or very liberal on these issues stood at 29 percent, a decrease from 33 percent last year and 34 percent in 2021.
Among Republicans, the percentage of respondents that said they were socially conservative increased from 60 percent two years ago to 74 percent this year.
The percentage of Independents who said they were socially conservative increased from 26 percent last year to 29 percent this year. Fewer Independents said they were liberal on these issues, dropping to 23 percent from 29 percent in 2022.
“Greater social conservatism may be fostering an environment more favorable to passing conservative-leaning social legislation, especially in Republican-dominated states,” the poll said.
Trump continues to lead the GOP pack in the 2024 race for the White House. According to the latest I&I/TIPP poll, which polled 482 likely Republican primary voters from May 31 to June 2, Trump received 55 percent of support, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a distant second with 19 percent of support.
Former Vice President Mike Pence finished third with 6 percent of support, followed by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) with 3 percent each.
“So Trump’s edge, when it comes to his own party, again appears insurmountable at this early stage of the nominating process,” the poll says.
THEY CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT. I WILL STAND UP FOR TRUMP REGARDLESS. HE HAS DID NOTHING WRONG. BIDEN IS THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL. FOR ALL THE WRONG HE HAS DONE. I AM TIRED OF THE DOUBLE STANDARDS. WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY AND DEMOCRACT CAN GO FIND ANOTHER COUNTRY TO SCREW OVER . WE DO NOT WANT THEM HER ANYMORE.
Unfortunately, this warning is CREDIBLE. However, I will not live in fear. I will say what I want, whenever I want, to whomever I want. I will do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, and w/ whomever I want. As long as I’m not hurting anyone or causing negative consequences to anyone, I will be as free as I choose. No one will threaten my freedom or liberty. No one will threaten my way of life. Therefore:
NOTICE TO FBI/DOJ/Gestapo: When you come for me – BE PREPARED TO DIE.
We’re no longer living in a Constitutional Republic, but under a neo-Marxist regime, which not only doesn’t recognize the Constitution, it also doesn’t recognize rule of law. When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled, conned into believing it has our best interests at heart, mistreated, jailed if we dare step out of line, and/or punished unjustly (without remorse)—all the while refusing to owe up to its own failings— REVOLUTION IS A RESPONSIBILITY.
When an ILLEGITIMATE ‘Administration’ w/ it’s ILLEGITIMATE POTUS figurehead is telling you, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS. Their message to all of us is: COMPLY OR DIE. You WILL get vaccinated, or we’ll take your livelihood from you, (in other words – you, [and your family] won’t eat), we’re no longer living in a Constitutional Republic. We’re living under a neo-Marxist regime.
THAT IS TYRANNY, MANDATED BY RUTHLESS DICTATORS – NOTHING LESS.
History has taught us you cannot reason nor negotiate w/ dictators. Why? Because they’re psychopaths – ALL OF THEM. Many believe protesting will facilitate change. IT WILL NOT. Protests aimlessly serve as nothing more than exercises in futility. Not one country has ever been saved from dictatorial tyrants by protests – not one.
SO, WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?
History has taught us there’s only ONE way for a country to rid itself from dictatorship. YOU ELIMINATE THE DICTATORS – BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY – DONE.
ONE BULLET IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND – that’s all it could take to change the course of history.
That’s all it could take to facilitate a positive path forward for change. Example:
If someone/anyone would have been successful in assassinating Hitler ANY time before Sept.1, 1939 – WWII WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED! Think about that for just a second. MILLIONS wouldn’t have been killed. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have been spared. Trillions of dollars wouldn’t have been expended.
We may be Christians. However, we’re not doormats…and contrary to popular opinion, (and what the Catholic ‘church’ has preached for centuries), one of the 10 Commandments given to Moses by God NEVER commanded THOU SHALT NOT KILL. He commanded THOU SHALT NOT MURDER. There’s a difference – a BIG difference, and you need look no further than the Bible itself to find dozens of examples of righteous killing(s) – ALL w/ Gods’ blessing.
Therefore, attempt to force me to do ANYTHING against my will, you’ll be found w/ a bullet in your head. That goes for ANYONE – including ILLEGITIMATE ‘Presidents’.
That said: I’m done w/ this bullshit – ALL of it. I’m 71 years old, have lived a good, long life, and have no more patience to go through the (so-called) ‘legal’ means to eliminate these dictators. They don’t play by the rules, why should we? Therefore, I will do whatever it takes before they completely destroy my country. My ancestors knew how to take care of business, (the way it’s supposed to be taken care of) – swiftly and permanently. Just get me to w/i 100 feet of ANY person in this current ILLEGITIMATE ‘Administration’ – BAM! DONE! Consequences? I couldn’t care less. I may go to jail – but they’ll still be dead…and (to me), that’s all that counts. Besides, at this point, (to me) the words ‘life in prison’ are (pretty much) – meaningless. I’m going to do my part – WILL YOU?
(Are you listening DOJ/Gestapo? When you come for me – BE PREPARED TO DIE).
The DOJ/Gestapo needs to remember one thing. It’s going to come down to this: WE WILL HAVE TO KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL US – AND WE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING THAT.
