Young Boy Brags About Starting Fire at Trump Protest, Yells ‘Screw Our President’

We want you to keep one thought in mind as you read this post – how does this young boy differ in any way from the ‘adult’ protesters around him? Is he being taught to act like them, or is this a clear indicator that the grown-ups have the same mentality as a child?

During a live broadcast on Fox News, a young boy of maybe 10 or 11 years, bragged about starting a fire at an anti-Trump rally in Washington, D.C.

Reporter Griff Jenkins showed the remains of a fire with a split-screen in which people were huddled around it earlier. The boy is standing next to it.

Jenkins approached him and said, “This fire was started, in fact, this young man, you are participating…”

“I actually kind of started the fire,” he bragged.

Jenkins questioned, “Why did you start that fire?”

That’s when the young boy, named Carter, delivered the mic drop: “Because I felt like it and I’m just sort of saying, screw our president.”

It was a remarkable live TV moment. During Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, reporter Griff Jenkins was at the scene of an anti-Trump demonstration in DC where a fire had been set in the street. Suddenly, a young boy [maybe 10-11] stepped up to say that he “kind of started the fire.”

When Jenkins asked why he started the fire, the boy, who identified himself as “Carter,” said “because I felt like it and I’m just sort of saying, screw the president.”

Here’s an even better still from the video of the fire, where you can clearly see the precious young anarchist flipping the fire a double bird.

Protesting, starting fires, and essentially shouting ‘f*** our President.” Exactly like the adults around him. If that doesn’t provide a stark slap back to reality for these liberal protesters, nothing will.

After Jenkins’ on the street report, the network kicked back to Charles Krauthammer and Tucker Carslon discussing the segment.

Krauthammer opined that getting kids involved in such criminal, political exploitation has “a whiff of ISIS to it.”

Tucker called the entire incident “bizarre” and “deranged.”

“The idea that you would implicate your children in your political activism, you’d be out on the street at 9:30 at night letting your eight-year-old set fires is demented,” he explained.

Krauthammer concurred, “These people ought to be medicated.”

Let’s hope somebody from Child Protective Services saw this video and will try to get Carter and his parents the help they so clearly need.

 

Comment: Are you surprised to see a child acting this way when the adults around him are doing the same exact thing? Should his parents be investigated? Share your thoughts below.
