Babylon Bee Actor Arrested for Attending Protest on Jan. 6th, 2021

Four misdemeanors.

He was arrested for four misdemeanors. In an airport. In front of his family. For offenses that took place years ago. At a protest. At the Capitol building. The FBI arrested actor Siaka Massaquoi at an airport in front of his family and all the world.

Insane. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that he is actually being arrested, even persecuted, for having supported Trump.

The news comes from Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee, a friend of Massaquoi, who has used his acting services for a hilarious series of videos named “Californians Move to Texas.”

If you haven’t watched the series, it is spot on.

Siaka’s house was raided after the protest, so there is no question about the FBI “discovering” that he was at the protest, and he was not arrested then. Since then, Siaka Massaquoi has been easy to find, but the FBI left him alone. Until now.

In November 2023, nearly three years have passed, he was arrested at an airport as he returned from the premier of the Daily Wire’s movie “Lady Ballers.”

There is no excuse for this. The deployment of the FBI to arrest somebody for misdemeanors must be nearly unprecedented, especially taking somebody into custody in an airport in front of his family and the world. He was held overnight in jail.

For God’s sake, they could have issued a summons, not deployed the FBI. He was hardly a fugitive from justice. He is an actor.

But he is a Trump supporter, and almost as bad, he works with The Daily Wire and hence is considered an enemy by the regime.

I would love to see a list of all occasions where the FBI sends agents out to arrest people for misdemeanors committed at protests years earlier. Something tells me that the list is short and includes none from the BLM protests of 2020. Or those who held Riley Gaines for hours in San Francisco. Or the countless people who have been terrorizing cities across America.

These are intimidation tactics, not the actions of a legitimate law enforcement agency.

Over the past several years, our cities have descended into lawlessness, our border has been wide open, fentanyl has been killing Americans by the thousands, and human trafficking of migrants is rampant. When I was flying back from Detroit, this poster was in the bathroom at…the Minneapolis airport.

But the FBI is spending its time in airports arresting an actor for four misdemeanors.

You gotta have your priorities.

One factor in his arrest is likely the fact that he is running for State Assembly in California, and we can’t have that.

Siaka Massaquoi (pronounced see-ah-kah mass-uh-kwuh) has been a Hollywood actor for over 15 years. During Covid lockdown in 2020, Siaka saw all the chaos and lies being told by mainstream media and started speaking out. He got involved by attending Trump rallies in Beverly Hills and supporting the California recall of Gavin Newsom. Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, Siaka found out he was on a secret list by the Secretary of State to censor him on social media. Like many Americans in 2021, Siaka was raided by the FBI for simply being in D.C. on January 6th. Up to now, no charges have ever been filed, and his belongings have yet to be returned. It was this incredible violation of his rights and privacy in addition to a very clear call from God that convicted him to run for local office, recognizing that today is the day of the dutiful citizen once again. Siaka officially put his name in the hat for California State Assembly, District 43, and has been beating the pavement ever since with features on PragerU, OAN, American Faith Network, Newsmax, The Babylon Bee podcast and countless other credible media sources.

Apparently, being a Trump supporter in California can land you in shackles–literally, in this case. He was led into court in shackles, because they accuse him of committing misdemeanors.

Misdemeanors. Shackles.

Make it make sense.

Siaka would be better off in California if he were raiding stores, taking dumps on the street, and burning down businesses than he is now. He was, after all, “parading,” which is an offense far worse than screaming “gas the Jews” while holding Jewish students hostage.

I honestly don’t recognize my country anymore.

Update (Ed): The headline originally had 2001 as the year of the protest. Of course, it was 2021. I’ve fixed it.
