WorldNetDaily’s Joe Kovacs spent a Sept. 17 article cheering that an activist got away with threatening Kamala Harris’ life and being a jerk to the FBI:
A political activist shamed the FBI away from his New Hampshire home after the agents came to his residence to probe a message he posted online indicating: “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.”
Jeremy Kauffman, a Libertarian, recorded his interaction with two gentlemen claiming to be FBI agents, though they refused to show their identification.
“I’m Agent O’Donnell with the FBI,” one of the men is heard saying after being asked to identify himself.
“Is that sufficient identification? Is there only one Agent O’Donnell in the FBI?” Kauffman replies.
“In New Hampshire, yes,” the agent responds.
“Your full name, sir?” Kauffman asks again.
“Can you please stop recording?” the agent requests.
“No,” replies Kauffman, noting it’s his “First Amendment right.”
Kauffman then asked the second agent: “What’s your name, sir?”
“Can you stop recording?” the second agent asks, as he never provides his name.
“Absolutely not,” Kauffman insists. “I’m going to go back inside my house.”
Eventually, the agents departed, as Kauffman extended his middle finger to them on camera.
The activist posted the video online with the caption: “The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes. You can see the shame on their faces. This is the Democratic regime manifest.”
Actually, threatening public officials is very much a crime. At no point did Kovacs criticize the threat — perhaps a sign that he agrees with the hateful sentiment — though he did note that “The since deleted post by Kauffman came Sunday, the same day a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was foiled in West Palm Beach, Florida.” And he was certainly not going to tell his readers that Kauffman has a history of making racist, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-Semitic remarks.
