Woke Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, invited 19-year-old Brazilian-born immigrant Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was previously detained by ICE after his student visa expired, to attend President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address as his guest. Gomes took his seat in the House visitors’ gallery, seemingly used as a political prop.

Midway through Trump’s speech, however, the Department of Homeland Security posted on X that Moulton was “planning to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes da Silva” and declared that he “has no right to be in our nation” and is subject to arrest and removal, echoing an earlier DHS message accusing Democrats of “planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union” and “putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.” After seeing the post and noting the heavy law-enforcement presence in the chamber, Moulton’s chief of staff Neesha (also reported as Nisha) Suarez quietly escorted Gomes out of the gallery “out of an abundance of caution” and brought him back to the congressman’s office.
​
From there, the “special guest” watched the remainder of the address on television. Moulton has said he invited Gomes because he sees him as exactly the kind of young person the United States should be investing in, while DHS officials have insisted in interviews and statements that Gomes “is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings.”

The clash unfolded against a broader backdrop in which several Democratic lawmakers — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Mike Levin, Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Robert Menendez Jr. — invited so-called “immigrants” caught up in enforcement operations or lacking legal status as their State of the Union guests, prompting DHS to circulate lists of what it called “illegal aliens” among their invitees. Conservative outlets and X accounts amplified DHS’s language, highlighting the agency’s claim that Democrats were favoring “illegal aliens” over public safety and praising the administration’s vow that such immigrants would be found, arrested and “never return.”

The post Democrat Congressman Caught Smuggling & Harboring Illegal Alien In Their Office? | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

A registered sex offender, Rene Campos, has launched a campaign for Fresno’s District 7 City Council seat, sparking intense local and national backlash. Campos, who pleaded no contest to a 2018 misdemeanor charge for possessing child sex abuse material and remains on California’s sex offender registry, argues that he has rehabilitated and wants to turn his “lived experience” with the justice system into reforms focused on public safety.

Campos has told local media that “Fresno deserves leaders who are honest from the very beginning” and says he is “putting [his] life out there,” insisting that people “are not [their] past” and that his conviction gives him unique insight into fixing laws from “the inside out.” California law does not bar registered sex offenders who have completed their sentences and regained voting rights from running for local office, and Fresno County’s registrar has confirmed that Campos is legally eligible to appear on the ballot if he files in time.

Opponents in the crowded District 7 race, including fellow candidate Nav Gurm, contend that Campos’ status should effectively disqualify him from office, pointing out that a registered sex offender cannot visit school campuses and questioning how someone under such restrictions could fully represent families and children in the district. Several Fresno city council members have also said they plan to pursue an ordinance to prevent registered sex offenders from holding city office in the future, arguing that people convicted of crimes against children should not serve in positions where minors regularly visit city facilities.

On social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with viral posts describing Campos as a “literal sex offender” running on a “public safety” message and questioning how he can campaign on protecting children while being barred from school grounds. Commenters on high-traffic accounts and local news reels have called the candidacy “insane” and “only in California,” with many users demanding that lawmakers “change the law” so that registered child sex offenders cannot seek public office at all.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address turned chaotic as Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar repeatedly shouted at the president over his immigration policies.

As Trump accused sanctuary cities and Somali communities in Minnesota of enabling welfare fraud and crime, Omar stood and yelled, “You have killed Americans,” blaming his administration for the deaths of two Minnesotan constituents killed during federal immigration enforcement actions.
​
Seated beside Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib also raised her voice at Trump throughout the nearly two-hour speech, protesting his rhetoric on immigration and policing. During one of the loudest moments, as Republicans broke into a chant of “U-S-A,” cameras captured Tlaib appearing to mouth “K-K-K” repeatedly, a clip that quickly went viral on social media and drew sharp criticism from Americans.

The National Republican Congressional Committee and other GOP figures posted the video on X and other platforms, arguing that Tlaib’s apparent “KKK” chant showed contempt for the country and disrespected the solemnity of the occasion.

Trump later blasted the two congresswomen on Truth Social, calling Omar and Tlaib “LUNATICS” who “look like they should be institutionalized” and suggesting they should be “sent back” to where they came from.

Another emotional flashpoint came when Trump told the story of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was fatally stabbed on a Charlotte light-rail train in 2025, and introduced her mother Anna in the House gallery.

Describing how a “deranged monster” with a long arrest record “viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body,” Trump promised Anna Zarutska, “Tonight I promise you we will secure justice for your magnificent daughter.”
​
As Republicans rose in a prolonged standing ovation for Zarutska’s mother, many Democrats remained seated, prompting Trump to point across the aisle and say, “I look over at the other side and I see people sitting down — how do you not stand?”

Scolding the opposition, he added, “How do you not stand for a mother who lost her daughter to a monster who should never have been on our streets? You should be ashamed of yourselves.”

The post Ilhan Omar CRASHES OUT During Trump’s State of The Union Address | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Democrats and allied progressive groups staged a “State of the Swamp” event in Washington, D.C., as a theatrical counter‑program to President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The gathering featured the Portland Frog Brigade, whose members packed the National Press Club in inflatable frog costumes as organizers framed the night as “joyful, radical, peaceful resistance” to the Trump agenda.

Video from the event shows a man identified as performance artist Louis Robert Potylo taking the stage in a full giraffe suit and shouting to the crowd about his history of clashes with immigration authorities. In one clip that quickly spread online, liberal commentator JoJoFromJerz told the audience she had just walked backstage to find “a suitcase full of dildos,” joking on the microphone about wondering what kind of party she had entered.
​
Conservative outlets seized on those images, describing the scene of inflatable frogs, a costumed giraffe, and the explicit backstage dildo claim as proof that Democrats had turned their State of the Union rebuttal into a clown show.

Separately, Democrats hosted another alternative State of the Union event where Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man at the center of a high‑profile deportation and detention case, was introduced on stage as an honored guest.

At that second event, BlazeTV host and conservative commentator Sara Gonzales was escorted out by security after she shouted that MSNBC anchor Joy Reid was “a loser” while Reid was speaking, an exchange Gonzales later posted about on social media.

Also during the Democrats’ tiny “People’s State of The Union” counter event, while Democrat Senator Chris Murphy was giving a theatrical speech about immigrants, a Trump supporter CRASHED his speech by taking the stage and shouting “GO TRUMP, GO TRUMP” and telling Murphy to his face, “Hey, Murphy, you’re a scumbag.”

The post Trump Supporter CRASHES Democrat’s Tiny State of The Union Counter-Rally | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

During a recent Minnesota House Commerce Committee hearing on HF 1434, Woke Democrat state Rep. Leigh Finke warned that its language could also block “potentially educational” online content for queer youth, igniting a national backlash. Finke repeatedly raised concerns about how its enforcement might affect so-called LGBT kids who already receive little or no queer‑inclusive sex education.

Finke argued that some attorneys general are “almost jubilant” about using age‑verification laws—like a Texas statute recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court—to stop young “queer” people from accessing material that “could be educational if they are queer,” and warned that vague definitions of “prurient interest” could be stretched to treat information about the “very existence of transgender kids” as sexual content.

Advocacy groups such as Moms for Liberty and the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation shared the clip on Facebook, accusing Finke of opposing “common‑sense” age verification, saying she thinks it is “crucial for so‑called queer kids to have access to pornography,” and insisting that such laws are designed solely “to protect children” from explicit material.

On X and Reddit, many users condemned the comments as “disgusting,” accused Finke of “grooming” children, labeled as a “child predator,” and called the argument “the worst possible defense” of civil‑liberties concerns, with some urging that the video be used against Finke in future campaigns or demanding resignation.
​
Finke claimed to have the intent to work with the Republican author on the bill, complained that opponents had quickly clipped and “twist[ed]” Finke’s comments to do harm to Finke because Finke is so-called “transgender”, and vowed to “fight for queer kids” despite the backlash.

Finke has continued to argue that HF 1434 can and should be written to keep minors off pornography sites without becoming, in Finke’s words, part of a political “machine that is now designed specifically to hate and destroy transgender people,” or a tool for censoring age‑appropriate information about queer identities.

The post Woke LGBTQ Freak Opposes Bill Protecting Kids From Having Access To Porn? | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

A so-called U.S. academic and TikTok commentator who posts as “Nope Brigade” went viral after announcing she had fled Los Angeles for Vancouver, Canada, because she feared a second Trump administration and what she described in earlier videos as the “building blocks to genocide” in the United States.

In those prior clips, the cringe sociology PhD candidate, who “researches” the far right and Christian nationalism, compared Trump’s immigration rhetoric to historical genocides and said she felt compelled to leave when he returned to office.
​
Once in British Columbia on a visitor visa, she told followers she was “a scholar of the far right who has fled the United States to Canada” and was now surviving on limited savings because she and her partner are legally barred from working.

In the widely shared TikTok, she explained that they had brought their pets and chosen the Vancouver area to be closer to family on the West Coast, but were quickly overwhelmed by how high local living costs are.

“For those who don’t know, the housing crisis here is worse than in the United States,” she said, adding that after six years in Los Angeles she had “not faced rent as bad as it is here.”

She also lamented that as a U.S. visitor shut out of Canada’s public system she could not access healthcare or other social supports, calling the situation “dire” and appealing for financial help with rent.

The TikTok asked Canadians in the Vancouver or Vancouver Island area to offer a one‑ or two‑bedroom place “for free or below market rates” for her, her partner, a cat, and a dog, a plea that was quickly amplified by political commentators.

Under reposts of the video, commenters mocked her request, with one American user writing, “Ma’am, no matter what happens please stay there. Signed, the United States of America,” and a Canadian replying, “You kidding? We don’t want her either!”

On forums and comment threads, critics derided her as “Dope Brigade” and a “migratory parasite,” accusing her of entitlement and poor planning for asking strangers in one of the world’s most expensive housing markets to subsidize her self‑declared exile from Trump’s America.

The post Woke Leftist “Scholar” That Fled USA For Canada Now Complaining About Canada | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Cringe California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing scrutiny over a viral Atlanta appearance and a separate podcast remark in which he said he has “no clue” where his own birth certificate is.

During a recent book-tour event at Atlanta’s Rialto Center for the Arts before a largely Black audience, Newsom said he scored 960 on the SAT and told the crowd, “you’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech,” framing the line in the context of his self proclaimed “dyslexia”.

He attempted to present it as self-deprecating, saying he was “not trying to impress” anyone and was “no better” than the audience, but conservative critics online paraphrased it as Newsom telling Black voters he “can’t read.”

The clip raced across X after being posted by right-leaning accounts, drawing high-profile backlash from users including rapper Nicki Minaj, who called the remarks racist and wrote that his way of “bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read.”

Fox News host Sean Hannity reposted the video with a caption saying “@GavinNewsom Thinks a 960 SAT Makes Him ‘Like’ Black Americans. Let That Sink In.”

Newsom responded with a profanity-laced post on X accusing Hannity of ignoring Donald Trump’s alleged history of “racist comments” while feigning concern over Newsom’s remarks, and he dismissed the controversy as “MAGA-manufactured outrage” over his struggle with dyslexia.

Separately, on his “This Is Gavin Newsom” podcast in a discussion of the Republican-backed SAVE Act’s documentary-proof requirements, Newsom argued that finding a birth certificate can be a real hurdle for voters and remarked, “If you know where yours is, I have no clue where mine is,” while noting that many people instead would need a passport.

He likened such documentation rules to modern-day “Jim Crow” measures and highlighted that a large share of Black Americans do not have passports, typical leftist talking points that degrade Americans.

The post Newsom’s CRINGE Pander Attempt To Black Voters BACKFIRES? | Drew Hernandez appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Woke Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing intensified criticism after a halting answer on whether the United States should commit troops to defend Taiwan at the Munich Security Conference and a subsequent late‑night Instagram Live rant defending her foreign policy record.

In Munich, when asked directly if the U.S. “would and should” deploy troops to protect Taiwan from a Chinese attack, she delivered a botched response that characterized Taiwan policy as a long‑standing U.S. position and emphasized using economic and diplomatic tools to avoid ever reaching that scenario, without giving a clear yes‑or‑no.
​
Clips of the exchange, highlighting her repeated pauses and filler phrases, spread quickly across social media and conservative outlets, where commentators roasted the remarks as a “word salad” and questioned her readiness for the global stage and possible 2028 presidential ambitions.

Days later, Ocasio-Cortez used Instagram Live to argue that pausing before answering “one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues on earth” showed seriousness rather than ignorance, insisting critics were ignoring hours of her discussions on international affairs in Munich.
​
She contended that those assuming she lacks foreign‑policy knowledge because she hesitated on Taiwan have “gotten used to a president who never thinks before he speaks,” a pointed attack on President Donald Trump’s off‑the‑cuff style.

The Instagram video itself went viral in part because her fiancé could be heard audibly snoring in the background, prompting a wave of viewer comments joking that his sleep noises drowned out her defense and symbolized public boredom with her explanation.

Right‑leaning television hosts and influencers replayed the clip with the snoring on loop, mocking what they described as a raspy, rambling monologue and using it as fresh evidence that the congresswoman is out of her depth on national security matters.

Some Republicans, including Vice President J.D. Vance, seized on her original Taiwan answer as “embarrassing” and argued that it showed Democrats are unprepared to confront an increasingly assertive China and to make hard commitments in the Taiwan Strait.

President Trump has also taken “sharp jabs” at Ocasio-Cortez over her Munich appearance, contrasting her performance with his own improvisational approach and using the episode to galvanize supporters who see her as a symbol of progressive overreach.
