When conservative activist Kaitlin Bennett showed up at a farmer's market in Lakeland, Fla. earlier this month to do man-on-the-street interviews for her Youtube channel Liberty Hangout, she was chased off by the event's organizers and threatened with arrest for "trespassing" if she returned. However, claiming the right of free speech under the First Amendment, she returned this past weekend, along with a crowd of MAGA supporters. In this half-hour video, she chronicles her visit, including encounters with protesters, one of whom called her a "terrorist."

Have you noticed “farmers’ markets” have become mostly arts and crafts markets?

Yes! Around us there are farm after farm and they all grow corn for ethanol or feed corn. You can’t find a decent farmer’s market for a hundred miles!

There was one near us. A vendor would Al seats give me a dirty look when I walked past in a MAGA hat. I made sure to walk past often.

Yes. Dems are cockroaches. They take over small cute seaside towns, farmers markets and coffee shops

We call them Sh!t Shows.

I don’t need their beaded toilet seat covers or their $50 stained glass ornaments. I just want to buy tomatoes, squash, eggplant and bread.

However, my dogs ‘regularity’ kicks in when I take them - which is nice. Saves me from ‘hunting Easter eggs’ twice weekly when I clean up the yard.

Progressives/marxists/liberals and such are ruining the markets in ‘conservative’ East Tennessee...

She makes a fairly big mistake in the video.

She says “we aren’t protesting anything because we won” at around 2:20

Protesting is actually more important after a victory because that is how you put pressure on the majority in congress to act and to actually keep their promises.

When you win and then you sit on the couch, you lose. We are seeing that very fact today with the big beautiful bill. We won, but because all of our guys are just sitting on the couch we are actually losing.

We are about to see it again with the DOGE cuts bill. Watch how bad it gets because none of our guys are out protesting.
