Leah had the story earlier this morning. And I could only imagine the reaction within liberal newsrooms when Nazi flags were discovered inside the vehicle. Someone intentionally rammed security barriers at Lafayette Square in the early morning hours. Paraphernalia for the National Socialist German Workers Party was found inside:

Youâre telling me someone drove a Uhaul with nothing but a Nazi flag in it, tried to ram it into the White House, got stuck on a curb, then the police spread out the flag on the pavement so the media can get it in the shotâŚ
The Left needed a narrative change. They got it. pic.twitter.com/iWETUky14fâ ItsAScraperG ^^ Involuntary Grifter đŚ (@ItsAScraperG) May 23, 2023
After crashing one time, the driver rammed the barriers a second time, video of the Monday evening incident shows.Â
The driver, whose name has not been released [Itâs been released now], has been charged with "threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on the president, vice president or a family member, along with other counts including assault with a dangerous weapon and trespassing," The Washington Post reports.
Bomb technicians did not find any explosive devices in the truck, though video shows law enforcement handling several pieces of evidence, including a Nazi flag, black backpack, and duct tape. The flag was then laid out on the ground, leading some Twitter users to question why.Â
The waiting game commenced, and the liberal media probably hoped it was a white guy from âflyover country.â The person was from middle Americaâbut it wasnât a white guy. The driver appears to be a teenager, Sai Varshith Kandula, 19 (via NBC Washington):Â
The suspect who drove the U-Haul into security barriers near the White House, carrying a swastika flag, which was carefully and perfectly laid out on the ground by authorities for the perfect photo-op, has been identified.
His name is Sai Varshith Kandula.

Breaking News: I have a very reliable tip that the driver of the U-haul that crashed into Lafayette Square near the White House gate is Sai Varshith Kandula. This pic is from his Missouri Driver's License.

Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, of Chesterfield, Missouri, was arrested and charged, U.S. Park Police said.
The U-Haul truck rammed against barriers at the north side of Lafayette Square, near Black Lives Matter Plaza on 16th Street NW, just before 10 p.m. No Secret Service or White House personnel were hurt, a Secret Service spokesman said.Â
According to the initial investigation, Kandula intentionally crashed into the bollards around Lafayette Park, Park Police said in a statement. It wasnât immediately clear if he has a lawyer. He's expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.
Kandula was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon; reckless operation of a motor vehicle; threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on a president, vice president, or family member; destruction of federal property; and trespassing. No information on a possible motive was released.
Some on social media noted the Leftâs attempt to change the narrative. This shelf life lasted barely 30 seconds after the driverâs identity was released. And there might not be a solid motive if mental illness was involved. We wonât speculate, but a non-white teenager from Missouri crashing U-hauls with nothing but a Nazi flag crashing into things near the White House is bizarre at the base level. Weâre lucky this vehicle wasnât rigged to explode. Since the driver isnât white and there really isnât much that can be used in political ammunition against Republicans, this story will soon be buried, much like how they suffocated a real Capitol Hill attack after the January 6 riot. The media quickly buried the story of Noah Green, who rammed barricades on Capitol Hill and killed a police officer on April 2, 2021, after he was identified as black and a Nation of Islam follower.Â
This story will get the same treatment for obvious political reasons.
A few years ago, there was a movement among South Asians to reclaim the swastika as a symbol of peace. Will be interesting if that's the story Kandula goes with for why he had the flag. https://t.co/1aP7ABAJLiâ Karol Markowicz (@karol) May 23, 2023
New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz floated the theory of the recent trend of South Asians who have been making concerted efforts to reclaim the swastika, whose original meaning was very different before the Nazi Party ruined it for everyone.
Navajo swastikas go both ways.
The Indian face of White Supremacy?
There was a kid from Sudbury, Massachusetts, home of Longfellow’s Wayside Inn, and one the most affluent towns in the United States, whose father was an Egyptian native and a Pharmacy professor at Boston University, who was convicted of planning a massacre at a shopping Mall in Worcester. He was arrested when he tried to purchase a semi automatic rifle from an undercover cop, but they had evidence of his intent, and he plead out.
"But it wasn't real socialism"/s.
The major difference between the two are set forth in their respective names: National and International. Their methodology is pretty much the same; they only differ on how the end plays out.
LOL!
The FBI needs to get more imaginative with their red flags. They keep using the same scenarios over and over. And, can’t they find any actual white guys?
Did they find his MAGA hat?
People aren’t buying it, so “they” will make it not have happened. Well not really, but that seems to be the intent.
The show me state. Show me where this pos was born
There are a multitude of swastikas going back to man's very first scratchings on stone.... left handed, right handed, tilted, straight, that people confuse.
That is real CNN level skills you got!!
No, but he was carrying a sub sandwich...
right???
Strange to see SS or whoever lay that flag out so ostentatiously when they knew they had just arrested Poonjabber Ganges Colored Red Dot. The #MSM #Narrative didn’t last an hour!
Likely. What ever happened to the 30 or 40 white supremist Patriot Front FBI CIs in Idaho. Are they still on the chain gang?
Much like abortion is a “sacred right” to pelosi, and life is a sacred right...to God.
Chesterfield is a high end community in St. Louis County. At least it was when I left Missouri 30+ years ago....
