toxtethogrady@w7voa Neo-Nazi. Sounds like a Hindi nationalist kid. A real Kash Patel kind of doofus...

David J. Atkinson@w7voa It has the feel of a “reconnaissance in force” mission wherein one try’s to draw out the enemy’s defenses. The guy driving probably didn’t know much. Observers would gauge reaction times, directions, etc. This suggests a higher level of threat to the White House and nearby buildings.

jonathanpeterson@w7voa Sai Varshith Kandula? Bobert, MTG and the rest of the yt supremacist patrol are going to have fun spinning him and his nazi flag attack on the white house.
charvakaIf only he was a white guy, he could make millions off this. Desi dude's going to find out that Islamophobia and Hindu nationalism won't get him acceptance and financial support from white nationalists.
Max Power@w7voa I can't wait to see how Fox spins this. If his name was Joe Smith, they would call him a patriot, but with a name like Sai Varshith Kandula?? It must be tough when the people you want to throw out of the country are just as racist as you and agree with your politics....
Yosa Beam ✅🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@w7voa it was deliberate. A direct result of republicans telling their base the only way to win is through violence against liberals.
Paul Westbrook@w7voa I'm surprised this ambitious plan wasn't mentioned on his LinkedIn Page.
Eeeee Woooo@w7voa these things always make me sad.
