2A MAGAs with “Don’t Tread on Me” license plates think they’re tough. Elliott Payne, the president of the Minneapolis City Council, is tough.
“Yeah, I’m worried that they’ll kill me, because I’m out there, and I’m witnessing, and I’m documenting, and it seems that they are retaliating against us for asserting our rights,” Payne said during a TV hit on MS NOW on Wednesday, discussing his efforts to document altercations initiated by ICE agents with Minneapolis residents protesting raids.
A video circulating on social media, taken by Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez, shows an ICE agent physically shoving Payne and another person at a bus stop on a sidewalk as Payne attempted to intervene in what he described as the “harassing of a U.S. citizen.”
In an Instagram post sharing the video, Payne said agents had “indiscriminately stopped” a citizen before he was shoved.
Speaking to MS NOW reporter Britt Miller in a segment that aired on Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” Payne said there was “a lot of direct assault” by agents who he said were “roughing up U.S. citizens and observers.”
Let me guess the response of the 2A MAGA “toughs” to reading that: they should just comply.
For years, we’ve been hearing from that side that they need their guns to be able to fight back against a tyrannical government.
Payne doesn’t need a gun to fight back.
Just a brass set.
Keep thinkin’ you’re tough, MAGA.
Payne said he had announced himself to the ICE agents as a lawmaker and demanded the officer’s badge number, only to be rebuffed, as other agents at the scene pointed tasers at him.
“This is the most un-American thing I can imagine,” Payne said.
