Jake Lang, pardoned Jan 6 rioter and Florida Senate candidate who organized a ‘March Against Fraud’ protest in Minneapolis on Saturday, was allegedly stabbed. Videos from the scene showed a crowd dragging Lang, who was visibly in pain and bleeding. Tensions remain high after the killing of Renee Good by a federal agent, identified as Jonathan Ross.

As Lang's march started off, a counter-protest was organized by the People’s Action Coalition Against Trump. The two groups clashed. Photos showed Lang, 29, bleeding from the back of his head. One local posted on social media that he was beaten following the clash on the steps of City Hall.

Videos posted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, further showed that Lang was being kicked and pulled back as he attempted to get away.

“You’re being replaced! Do you not understand you’re being replaced!” Lang screamed. “We deserve a future for white Americans. Send the Somalis back.”

Lang could also be heard saying, “We don’t need weapons here, leave that s–t alone.”

Jake Lang gives latest update

In a social media post, Lang confirmed that he was stabbed. “I just got stabbed by a crazie white commie leftist rioter today in Minnesota All for pointing out their replacement by 70 IG burka wearing (pirate) Somalians. Plate carrier blocked it. Jesus is King. DEUS VULT ✝️” he tweeted.

Lang is one of more than 1,500 people pardoned by President Donald Trump after their criminal convictions related to the January 6 riots. He said his “anti-fraud” march would begin at Minneapolis City Hall, where he vowed to burn copies of the Koran and lead people on a march for about two miles to the Cedar Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, where many Somali immigrants live.

Residents vowed to blockade the neighborhood and not let the marchers into the area.
