Carl Higbie didn’t mince words on his Newsmax program when he reacted to the latest chaos in Minneapolis — a clip making the rounds shows the former Navy SEAL saying he would have “crushed” ICE protestors if they’d messed with him. Conservatives aren’t surprised by the raw language; we’ve watched federal agents take the heat while liberal activists and celebrity journalists cheer on disruption. This is exactly why patriotic Americans are fed up with a media class that treats lawlessness as a performance piece.
The unrest sweeping the Twin Cities ignited after a federal immigration enforcement action turned deadly, touching off grief and rage across the city. The incident — an ICE operation that ended with an agent fatally shooting a woman — has fueled protests and a fraught national debate over enforcement, procedure, and public safety. Americans deserve sober answers and due process, not partisan grandstanding that inflames crowds and encourages confrontation.
What should have been solemn reporting turned into activism when cable hosts and livestreamers embedded themselves with demonstrators and even followed them into a church service to broadcast the disruption live. Don Lemon’s presence alongside the activists, openly discussing an “operation” and appearing to celebrate the surprise disruption, proved once again that many in the legacy media are less interested in calm reporting than they are in stoking chaos. Pastors and parishioners who went to worship were left shaken while the media cheered.
That’s why Higbie’s blunt response resonated with so many on the right: Americans want law and order, and they expect defenders of the rule of law to be backed up, not vilified. On Newsmax guests have repeatedly warned that demonizing federal agents risks emboldening violent behavior and puts officers’ lives at risk, a point conservatives keep hammering home as the left rewards agitators with free publicity. We’re not asking for vigilante justice — we’re demanding that elected leaders and the media stop cheering on mobs and start protecting citizens and officers alike.
The hypocrisy is obvious: when protesters storm and intimidate, left-wing pundits call it “justice”; when Americans call for order, they are labeled extremists. Celebrities and some outlets even went so far as to demand legal action against journalists who showed up with the protesters, a surreal inversion of accountability where the instigators get a microphone and their critics get canceled. It’s time for conservatives to call out that double standard and refuse to let the narrative be stolen by those who profit from disorder.
If Americans want safe streets and functioning institutions, we must stand with law enforcement and support leaders who will enforce the law fairly and firmly. That means holding both the federal agents and the local officials to the highest standards while rejecting media-driven theater that turns tragedies into political sport. Now is not the moment for hand-wringing or performative outrage — it’s the moment to defend orderly liberty, back those who serve, and vote out the leaders who reward chaos.
