Lake: I’ll Arrest FBI Agents (Over Nonexistent Policy)

November 3, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

“I don’t believe parents are terrorists at all. And I’ll tell you what. If I were governor right now, and Joe Biden even thought he was gonna send his FBI or DOJ in to start coming after our parents, they would be met at the airport with the state police and arrested for going after our rights. We finally, as parents, have to rise up and say, ‘No, we’re gonna take this anymore and they call us terrorists. That’s unbelievable. We’re in an upside-down world and we need to right it.'” – Kari Lake, speaking at a rally yesterday.

The claim that the DOJ has threatened to arrest parents as “domestic terrorists” has been a screaming point among the QAnon cultists for months. In fact, the DOJ memo in question uses no such language and doesn’t even include the word “parents.” An excerpt:



Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values. Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety.

The Department takes these incidents seriously and is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate.

In the coming days, the Department will announce a series of measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel.
