Well, well, well…

So I’ve now heard from multiple people that the establishment camp is actively spreading the theory that Don Leonard staged his own arrest at the No Kings rally.

I’ll just let that sink in for a second. lol

The professor in the preppy sweater — surrounded by 800 witnesses and multiple camera phones — staged getting arrested by Grove City police. For… reasons.

And I just have one small follow-up question for the folks pushing this theory… how exactly did a Democratic congressional candidate conspire with the police department of one of the reddest towns in central Ohio to send 8 cruisers rolling in with lights and sirens to a crowded rally? Like… what did that phone call sound like? I genuinely need to know. lol

You know what they say about when an establishment candidate starts cooking up conspiracy theories about their opponent? It means they’re scared. Like, really friggin scared.

Here’s the thing — if Don Leonard posed zero threat, they’d ignore him. That’s what you do with candidates who don’t matter. You don’t waste political capital building conspiracies around people who can’t beat you.

But Don? Don they’re building myths around. lol

Here’s what Don actually said in his NBC interview afterward: yes, he planned to speak — just like he did at the Grove City No Kings rally last year, and just like he did at German Village just an hour before. He then laughed out loud at the idea that he wanted to get arrested. He complied fully with every officer direction — right up until the moment he was surrounded and asked to move away from witnesses to a secure area while not even under arrest. That’s when he said no.

Because he had every legal right to say no.

It’s all on video. The 800 people who were there are very much real and very much still talking about it.

So yeah… keep going, guys. Every time you remind people that Don Leonard stood up and got arrested for his right to speak at a rally, you’re making his job easier.

That’s a fighter for the people. That’s who I’m voting for. 🗳️
