Chris Kluwe — a punter for the Minnesota Vikings between 2005 and 2012 — was recently arrested and carried out of a city council meeting by police after a viral speech.I could not have said it better. Pass it on. Rodger Malcolm Mitchell Monetary Sovereignty Twitter: @rodgermitchell Search #monetarysovereignty Facebook: Rodger Malcolm Mitchell; MUCK RACK: https://muckrack.com/rodger-malcolm-mitchell; https://www.academia.edu/Kluwe started his speech by telling council members that he is a 15-year city resident and wanted to speak out against the current council and its plans for a MAGA plaque at a local library.
“I’d like to take my time to talk about what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks,” Kluwe said. “MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing.
“MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal. MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide, opioid addiction, and medical issues related to burn pits.
MAGA stands for cutting funds to education, including for disabled children.”
Kluwe went on to assert that MAGA “stands for hate and fear, and the idea that we should have a king instead of co-equal branches of government.”
He argued that MAGA’s philosophy was “profoundly corrupt” and “unmistakably anti-democracy,” while also calling it “explicitly a Nazi movement.”
“Every single thing MAGA stands for is what the Nazis did,” the retired NFL punter said. “Eugenics. Racism. Blind loyalty to the leader over what benefits the community as a whole.
“Removal or destruction of knowledge deemed “unsavory.” Removal of groups deemed “unsavory.” Sustained assaults on science, reason, and logic. Ceaseless propaganda that has no basis in reality. The promotion of fools, imbeciles, and charlatans to positions of power.”
Toward the end of his speech, Kluwe looked at the assembled council members on the dais and said he would “now engage in the time-honored American tradition of civil disobedience.” He then walked past the lectern toward council members while several police officers swarmed him and put him on the ground face-first.
Kluwe said later on Bluesky that he was charged with “disrupting an assembly,” and that he sustained minor cuts and scratches while police were restraining him.

If you are perceived as a threat you can be arrested or shot to death. He’d be OK if he had not walked toward them, especially after what he said. It was a dumb move, but he was completely correct in what he said.
