Conservative influencer Nick Sortor has claimed that he was robbed of his camera in Minneapolis by “Somali thugs,” just hours after influencer and pardoned January 6 rioter Jake Lang alleged that he was attacked and “stabbed” during an anti-ICE protest. A video shared by content creator Cam Higby and reposted by Sortor appears to have captured the incident.
The video shows some people snatching an item from Sortor, who is sitting in a car that is idle, and fleeing. While Sortor rushes behind them to retrieve his belongings, they quickly manage to drive away.
