Leftwing protesters attacked and allegedly stabbed pardoned Jan. 6 rioter and Florida Senate candidate Jake Lang Saturday after his “March Against Fraud” was met with violent pushback in Minneapolis, video showed.
Lang was repeatedly bashed on the back of the head by several protesters who swung fists, flags, and objects as he fled the chaotic scene, video posted to X showed.
Photos showed a bloodied Lang, 29, bleeding from the back of the head with snow in his hair, as one X user claimed he’d been “beaten” following the clash on the steps of City Hall.
As Lang attempted to get away from the scene in a red sedan, video posted to X showed counter protesters ripping open the door of the car — throwing kicks and attempting to pull him back out onto the street.
Lang posted on X that he was stabbed by “a crazie white commie leftist rioter” and wrote that the tactical vest he was wearing “blocked it.”
The chaos comes amid weeks of heightened tensions in Minnesota, where demonstrators have been repeatedly asked to tone down their aggression, particularly following the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Nicole Good during an encounter with an ICE agent.
On Saturday, Lang arrived with a handful of people, while a different demonstration from the George Soros-funded People’s Action Coalition Against Trump took place across the street.
He had promised to burn a Quran on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall but ultimately didn’t follow through – and instead was left dodging aggressors, including one who stood next to him and did a Nazi salute in Lang’s face.
“Get the f–k off me,” he told the person, according to footage of the incident.
Lang – who was surrounded by press and counter protesters – wore a bulletproof vest and spoke into a microphone hooked up to a sound system as he livestreamed his 49-minute protest on X.
He played Vanilla Ice’s hit 1990 song “Ice Ice Baby,” which fought for volume against wailing police sirens, the yells of counter protesters, and the agitator himself aggressively yelling into the microphone.
“You’re being replaced! Do you not understand you’re being replaced!” Lang screamed into the microphone, later yelling, “We deserve a future for white Americans” and “send the Somalis back.”
At another point, when the camera went dark, Lang could be heard saying, “We don’t need weapons here, leave that s–t alone.”
The Minnesota National Guard was put on alert – with video showing the guard rolling humvees into the area as they got ready for the demonstrations.
