POLITICO'S Josh Gerstein Under FIRE for Implying Somalis Could Shoot Amateurs Investigating Fraud
Twitchy.com ^ | December 30, 2025 | Sam J.

We have quickly gone through the stages of the typical Democrat's response to the Somali fraud story:

It's not happening. 

It's happening, but not much.

It's happening, but it's a good thing.

Except now, POLITICO's Josh Gerstein has thrown in a new step ... 

Man, why are so many people on the Left so violent? Not to mention ignorant of gun laws? Note, we realize we're being facetious here.

@joshgerstein

At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws

Is he really saying that a Somali would shoot someone for knocking on the door of their public daycare? Even if it is in a home? Not to mention, Minnesota does not have a Stand-Your-Ground law. 

You'd think someone like Gerstein would at least research this before making such a blatantly idiotic, even violent, post. As for the new stage of the messaging, Jarvis was good enough to create a visual:

Yup—these are the same clowns that tell us that we are supposed to abide by the “social contract”.

Gerstein must be thinking of Minnesota’s Protect-Your-Fraud culture.

A leftist would put their name on such a threat? This shows how the spineless leftists have done the long march through many law enforcement institutions.

He's right,

Somalis are some of the most violent people on the planet and they come from a culture that has zero regard for life.

Add in the Islamic fundamentalist orientation of the Somalis who are brought into the US and you have a toxic brew that makes these people very dangerous.

Yeah, they COULD shoot. But are more likely to chop you with a machete, or stab you with a butcher knife.

Or they could try and get the "Mozambique Drill" dispensed on them.

It’s a psychotic death wish fantasy just like those of the creepy Attorney General of Virginia.

The left is now between the hammer and the anvil.
They MUST fight this or the corruption of the last 30 years will come out.
WAY past time for the Hammer to fall.

Schumer, Newsom, Walz, Mayor Brandon Johnson and others have said ICE agents and FBI are kidnappers and it is right for the people to defend themselves and fight back to oppose them.

When Trump and us are called Nazis then the leftists feel justified in killing us.

There have already been the man shown on video —”on the street the weapon was aimed at the ICE agents” and “she rammed her car into the agents’ vehicle” and “rocks and metal pieces were thrown from the overpass onto the law enforcement officers near the demonstration.” Fault is traceable to the Dem politicians and the Joy Reid and other news media people.

No American should have to fear violence for having political views or for uncovering stories as a journalist.
