They told you the 2020 riots were spontaneous. They told you the burning cities were organic expressions of outrage. They lied. And now, with the receipts in hand, Americans are watching the same coordinated playbook unfold in Minneapolis—except this time, the mask has completely slipped.
A paid protester admitted it on national television. Right there on Laura Ingraham's show, an agitator confessed she's getting paid to be there. That single admission obliterates the entire myth of grassroots uprising. This isn't organic outrage, folks. This is a funded, staged, theatrical production designed to delegitimize federal law enforcement and paralyze the Trump administration.
And they're not even hiding it anymore. One protester told a reporter with a smirk, "This reminds me of theater." Because that's exactly what this is.
Autonomous Zones Return to Minneapolis
The George Floyd operation has been reloaded with a new slogan: "Say Her Name." Different martyr. Same manufactured chaos. Autonomous zones have been declared in Minneapolis. Police are being told not to enter certain areas. Residents can't even drive to their own homes. Protesters are being coached on where to stand before press conferences to make crowds look larger for the cameras.
At the center of this manufactured crisis is Renee Good, the woman being elevated to martyrdom by the left. But here's what AOC and the mainstream media won't tell you: body cam footage shows Good taunting federal agents throughout the day, ignoring multiple warnings, before accelerating her vehicle directly into a Border Patrol officer.
Vice President JD Vance confirmed the agent acted in self-defense after being struck. But facts don't matter when you have a narrative to protect.
Leftist Officials Declare War on Federal Law Enforcement
The rhetoric coming from Democratic officials isn't just irresponsible—it's borderline insurrectionist.
Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner went on camera dropping F-bombs and threatening to arrest any ICE agent who operates in his city. He actually warned federal officers they'll "do time" if they enforce immigration law. Sheriff Rochelle Bilal called ICE agents "fake law enforcement."
Meanwhile, protesters in New York City are openly calling for the hanging of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the execution of ICE agents. Elon Musk called it "extreme violence advocated by the radical left." Conservative commentator Matt Walsh described them as "the most deranged human beings to ever walk the earth."
Videos are circulating showing leftists calling for guns to be turned on federal agents and their families. Let that sink in.
"This is rhetorical secession from the union," CNN commentator Scott Jennings observed. When state officials declare war on federal authority, you're watching an insurrection dressed up as grief.
The Winter of Hate Begins
Governor Tim Walz called for a "day of unity"—but patriots know how to read between the lines. That's code for Soros-funded organizations to mobilize. For Antifa agitators to gear up. The largest fraud investigation in American history is unfolding in his state, and he's out front playing victim.
Even a McDonald's in Minneapolis posted a sign banning ICE agents, complete with a security guard at the door. This is the America the left wants—where federal law enforcement is treated as the enemy and illegal aliens are protected at all costs.
But the Trump administration isn't backing down. Tonight, 1,000 additional Border Patrol and Customs agents are surging into Minneapolis. The message is clear: the rule of law will be enforced, regardless of how many paid agitators take to the streets.
The Winter of Hate has officially begun. The question is: will Americans see through this manufactured chaos, or will the left succeed in burning it all down again?
