Trump ally Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) made a stunning declaration when he told Newsmax that only by obeying commands from federal agents do you "get to keep your life."

"The bottom line is this, when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep your life. And it is clear that she tried to use her vehicle as a weapon, mow over an ICE agent, and now she is dead."

Brazen liars are killing people.

ICE's America produces orphans.

More from the cited article ...

...Hunt was a guest on Wednesday night's edition of Newsmax TV's Carl Higbie Frontline, during which he took things right to eleven. He flatly stated that if you follow orders, "then you get to keep your life," and made many false or evidence-free assertions:
...
CARL HIGBIE: Congressman, you know, terrible that an American citizen lost their life. However, we now just found out from Secretary Kristi Noem that this person apparently had been chasing these ICE agents, harassing them all morning.

REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX): The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them, and then you get to keep your life.

And it is clear that she tried to use her vehicle as a weapon, mow over an ICE agent, and now she is dead.

And her death is tragic, but at the end of the day, it was completely avoidable if she would have simply followed the commands of the ICE agents.

But what really is more disturbing to me is Governor Walz's comments about using the National Guard to keep the federal government ICE agents out of his state.

He has now gone full Jefferson Davis, and that's what -- I would call it civil war. This is a problem.

The left always does this. They always clamor for more violence. They always clamor for more rioting. They've already burned to the ground.

At the end of the day, the violence must stop. We must respect law enforcement.

Respect this president that said, "I am going to clamp down on illegal immigration".

AUTHORITARIAN to the Core...

That Punk is calling for a Police State.

Worse, he's invoking the Spectre of Disunion and Civil War in a Twisted Reversal of Historical Facts.

OBEY, or DIE?

Who the ---- is he to be telling Americans to just Obey and they Get to Keep their Lives?

Somebody's gonna be Taking lives.

On both Sides.

Dude, you've got a Very Bad Attitude..

Trump won't Approve if you're on the Wrong side of his Regime......

Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid.

IF you're White I guess you could harness that Rage and kill other Americans for the Glory of his Majesty, Donald John Trump.

Otherwise, Report to Alligator Alcatraz for Punishment.

You all are ridiculous.

I mean in the most sincere way, attacking law enforcement and disobeying their orders is the greatest way to destroy the country. She wasn't randomly killed, she wasn't targeted for her political beliefs only her actions.

There's plenty of video of the AvP encounters, its a deadly game, to deny this and claim its authoritarian what happen is nothing but a narrative and no where near the truth.

Remember all those IRS agents Biden was hiring? Well they wouldn't be much different than ICE is today, only their victims would be different.

Given what I am seeing in everyones attitude, America is one or two more transitions from collapsing.

@#10 ... Remember all those IRS agents Biden was hiring? Well they wouldn't be much different than ICE is today ...

Absurd. At best.

Can IRS agents shoot and kill innocent victims?

I'd say, do try harder, but it seems your current trolling alias is incapable of doing so.

...
To be or not to be
That's the question unceasingly
But without you I would long to be yours to be

Cause without you I'm not a king

Cause without you it will never do
Cause I can't think what life would be like without you

Jefferson Airplan - Volunteers (1969)

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
"Volunteers" by Paul Kanter and Marty Balin appears on the 1969 Jefferson Airplane album of the same name.

Jefferson Airplane broke from their psychedelic groove to make this anti-war anthem.

Kanter said he got the idea from a "Volunteers of America" bumper sticker that was pasted on the side of a garbage truck.

[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution, got to revolution

[Bridge]
One generation got old
One generation got sold
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry

[Verse 2]
Hey, now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on now, we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
See rock shows near East Windsor
Get tickets as low as $45

[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Yeah, we're volunteers of America
We're volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
