On August 27 , 2020 , Gun Owners of America ( GOA ) Senior Vice President Erich Pratt issued a statement regarding Kyle Rittenhouse ’ s decision to act in self-defense .

GOA has reached out to Rittenhouse ’ s attorneys and the Lake County Public Defender ’ s office , and we have our own attorneys and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case , as well .

A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15. He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives. Fix your damn headlines. — Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley) August 27, 2020
We need @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to condemn the armed militias that killed two people in Kenosha yesterday while working in tandem with local police.

Jacob Blake Criminal Complaint Details Alleged Home Invasion, Theft, Sexual Assault
New Kenosha County Circuit Court documents break down the pending criminal charges and arrest warrant for Jacob Blake, the 29-year old Wisconsin man who was shot by a Kenosha police officer after resisting arrest. Blake was wanted on felony sexual assault, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and domestic abuse charges.
The criminal charges stem from a police report filed in early May by a woman who identifies herself as a former girlfriend of Blake. She recounts being woken up in the middle of the night by Blake, who allegedly entered the home without her permission. Blake questioned her about supposed stolen property, before sexually assaulting her in a penetrative fashion by his hand.
The victim of the incident recounted significant mental distress caused by the episode, which she described in detail.
The unnamed victim goes on to recount Blake stealing property such as a debit car and a car from the residence before leaving.
View the full criminal complaint, first obtained by the Epoch Times, here.
Initial reports following Blake’s shooting had indicated that he was accosted by the police after merely “breaking up a fight.” Later revelations from the Wisconsin Department of Justice indicate that police were called to the area of Blake’s shooting shortly after receiving a report that he was trespassing in a home, similarly to the allegations in the arrest warrant against Blake.
Police attempted to question and apprehend Blake, who resisted arrest, brawling and wrestling with several police officers, perhaps aware of the outstanding felony warrant for his arrest. He went on to admit that he was in possession of a knife when he shot seven times by a Kenosha police officer. View video of the explosive incident here.

Republican Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana introduced legislation to strip coronavirus unemployment benefits and other federal welfare payments to individuals convicted of felony riot offenses. The Support Peaceful Protest Act was introduced in the House of Representatives on Friday.
The legislation would remove eligibility for buffed coronavirus unemployment benefits for anyone convicted of criminal conduct at and during the course of a protest. The federal government has been paying for buffed welfare payments in the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, and Banks raised concern that left-wing rioters are taking advantage of the welfare to embrace a lifestyle of full-time riot agitation and political crime.
The Support Peaceful Protest Act holds rioters accountable for their criminal activity.
“Antifa thugs are descending on suffering communities, disrupting peaceful protests and leaving violence, looting and vandalism in their wake. They turned Milwaukee, Seattle, and Portland into warzones, and now they’re moving the chaos to Kenosha, Wisconsin. Who knows which community is next?” said Rep. Banks in a statement about the legislation.
“Due to enhanced federal benefits, taxpayers are giving wages to jobless rioters that are destroying our communities. We need to cut them off from their funding and make them feel the full financial consequences of their actions.”
The legislation will also require rioters convicted of riot offenses to compensate the law enforcement agencies that conducted their arrest and detention. Damages would be determined by the court.
If this passes, you’ll probably see some of the most vicious Portland and Kenosha rioters suddenly disappear from the streets of American communities overnight. Property damage and political violence will lose its appeal when its perpetrators lose their precious welfare benefits.

Washed up comedian Jim Gaffigan was famously triggered following yesterday’s RNC display, which featured a speech from President Donald Trump, and took to Twitter to make his opinions known to the world.
He began with this sentiment:
RIP Truth — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Then he launched into more personal attacks against Trump and his supporters:
Look Trumpers I get it. As a kid I was a cubs fan and I know you stick by your team no matter what but he's a traitor and a con man who doesn't care about you. Deep down you know it. I'm sure you enjoy pissing people off but you know Trump is a liar and a criminal. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
He continued to babble on from there, embarrassing himself further:
By the way you can't be against Cancel Culture and tell people to stay out of politics. You know that time you did a job and didn't get paid? That's trump and you know it. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
I know you hate snobs and elites I get it but look at Ivana and that douche bag Jerod. Think they are on your side? Do you think they've ever done a real days work in their lives. Wake up — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
He said, without providing any evidence, that Trump is destroying the economy and is lying to the public.
to those of you who think Im destroying my career wake up. if trump gets elected, the economy will never come back. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
You know he lies. Constantly. Yet you dont care? What because he insults people that make you and me feel dumb? — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Gaffigan then hurled personal attacks at legendary college football coach Lou Holtz, who supports President Trump because of his strong pro-life stance.
Fuck Lou Holtz. Biden is Catholic in name only? Compared to who? How many abortions did trump pay for? How many women has he raped? How many times did pull the shit he did in Ukraine. Wake up. He's a crook and a con man. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
He made some empty comments about Republicans not supporting “equal justice,” whatever that means.
What bravery from the cowards who are against equal justice. Wake up. Don't you know history will make you the fool. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Gaffigan claimed that Biden and Obama are not socialists and not radical while contending that President Trump is a fascist.
Please dont buy that socialist crap either. Obviously Obama wasn't a socialist. This is all lies to scare you and you know it. Biden is not radical. Are you serious? — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Remember everything Trump accuses the Democrats of he's guilt of. Dont let the socialist name calling distract you from the fact he is a fascist who has no belief in law. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Some of his comments suggested that he might be undergoing some sort of mental breakdown of sorts:
You know Trump just creates enemies. You know you can't trust him. You know he been incompetent during this crisis. You know all those people didn't need to die. Trump talks about the Space Program and you can't safely go to a movie. Wake up — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Trump budding up with dictators is RADICAL. Trump having interfering with the justice department is RADICAL. Trump pandering to the police and army (I gave 3 raises) is RADICAL. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Gaffigan said he believes it is crucial to speak out with the same opinion held by every powerful corporation and entrenched government bureaucrat in the world:
I dont give a fuck if anyone thinks this is virtue signaling or whatever. We need to wake up. We need to call trump the con man and thief that he is. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
He lamented for former House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Sen. Jeff Flake, two losers who Trump ushered into the ash heap of history:
Trump derangement syndrome is part of the con. Wake up. you know Fox News is biased and full of loons. it's how they gaslight and silence criticism. Do you think any of those congressional republicans really believe in Trump or do they fear him dont want to end up like Flake. — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Trump literally ran Paul Ryan out of politics. Why? Paul Ryan knew Trump was poison. So does Romney. Trump is not a conservative or even a Republican. You know that. You know Barr is dirty. You know if Trump gets re-elected it's over. How many books have to be written? — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Gaffigan finished his rant with some projection, telling his fans that they are crazy if they believe that the deep state and cancel culture exists:
Heading to bed but remember
– If you want to sound crazy please tell me about THE DEEP STATE.
– To sound stupid please be against CANCEL CULTURE but then accuse anyone with an opinion of Virtue signaling.
– Trump Derangement Syndrome is meant to distract from the con of Don — Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 28, 2020
Gaffigan is only the latest Hollywood out-of-touch celebrity to alienate their fans and broadcast their leftist, anti-American beliefs.
Big League Politics reported last month when Attorney General Bill Barr called out Hollywood for being in the pocket of the Chinese communists:
On July 16, 2020, Attorney General Bill Barr took Hollywood to task for its cozy relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. During a speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan Thursday, Attorney General Bill Barr went after Hollywood for capitulation to the Chinese Communist Party. “The People’s Republic of China is now engaged in an economic blitzkrieg, an aggressive, orchestrated, whole-of-government, indeed, whole-of-society, campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the United States as the world’s preeminent superpower,” Barr stated. “Hollywood actors, producers, and directors pride themselves on celebrating freedom and the human spirit. And every year at the Academy Awards, Americans are lectured about how this country falls short of Hollywood’s ideals of social justice. But Hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the Chinese Communist Party, the world’s most powerful violator of human rights. This censorship infects not only versions of movies that are released in China, but also many that are shown in American theaters to American audiences,” he added. “Many Hollywood films that have been altered, one way or another, to conform to CCP propaganda.”
The Democrats are happy to sell out their country and do the bidding of ravenous communists. This is why they hate President Trump and his MAGA agenda. Gaffigan has publicly outed himself as an enemy of the Republic with his Twitter whining.
