Right-wing provocateur Jake Lang, who was given a pardon by Donald Trump after attacking Capitol cops with a baseball bat on Jan. 6, claims to have been stabbed while leading a counter-protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
We reported earlier in the day that Lang would lead his own protest march in the city that has been turned into a battleground over the president’s brutal immigration policies.
Hours later, conservative figure Collin Rugg reported, "Conservative activist Jake Lang allegedly stabbed by a violent rioter in Minneapolis, seen bleeding from his head."
"Lang was seen on camera getting beaten by a violent mob outside City Hall. Lang then attempted to flee from the scene by getting in a red sedan before protesters tried ripping him from the car to get him back on the street," Rugg then wrote. "'I just got stabbed by a crazie white commie leftist rioter today in Minnesota...' Lang said on X. 'Plate carrier blocked it…' Horrific."
Investigative reporter Chuck Ross quickly pointed out, "This 'conservative' influencer fought Capitol police with a bat and shield on Jan. 6, and just the other day did Nazi salutes at an anti-AIPAC protest."
"So gonna need to see what happened leading up to this incident today," Ross then added Saturday.
For its part, the New York Times reported the story Saturday as, "Conservative Influencer Chased From Minneapolis Streets by Counterprotesters."
