House Democrats Want Their Own Voters To Get Shot in Name of Trump Resistance [WATCH]

Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie and commentator Clay Travis discussed a resurfaced Axios report that detailed internal conversations among House Democrats about escalating confrontations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities as part of anti-Trump activism.

The exchange focused on the implications of the report, concerns over public safety, and the political motivations behind confrontational protest tactics.

Hasnie introduced the segment by citing the Axios reporting, describing it as alarming and newly circulating again online.

“Axios story that made my jaw drop a couple of months ago, and it sort of come back online on the Twitter world, and this is what they wrote. They talked to Democrats who were talking to their constituents, and they were telling them to get shot for the anti Trump resistance. This is what one of those Democrats, House Democrats told Axios, some of them have suggested what we really need to do is be willing to get shot when visiting ice facilities or federal agencies. And then goes on to say our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not enough. There needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public. That’s coming from House Democrats. That’s what they’re hearing from their constituents,” Hasnie said.

The Axios report described Democratic lawmakers recounting pressure from activists who believed peaceful protests were insufficient and that violent or deadly confrontations would force greater media attention and political change.

The report did not attribute the statements to named lawmakers but cited them as direct comments provided to Axios.

Travis responded by criticizing what he described as a deliberate strategy to provoke dangerous encounters with federal law enforcement.

“I’m glad you brought this up, Aishah, because this is what they want to happen. They want confrontation. They want conflict, and they want to create situations where awful things like this could happen again,” Travis said.

He argued that opposition to immigration enforcement should be pursued through elections rather than confrontations at active law enforcement sites.

“My argument here would be just what you said, if you want to protest ICE, if you want to march down the streets and you want to say this shouldn’t be happening here, go vote in 2026 go vote in 2028 we had an election in 2024 President Trump ran on just this, and he won the popular vote. He won every swing state, all seven of them,” Travis said.

Travis continued by pointing to the election results as evidence of public support for the administration’s immigration policies.

“The American public said, We want President Trump to do this, we want Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, okay, if you disagree, go out and advocate against it, but do not create these situations where you are making it more dangerous for everyone,” he said.

He questioned why activists would insert themselves into active enforcement operations, arguing that such actions increase the risk to both civilians and federal agents.

“Why in the world would you be showing up at the sites of ICE investigations and ICE arrests and trying to create these situations? I think it’s unfortunate,” Travis said.

Travis went further, accusing Democratic activists of seeking violent outcomes to advance their political goals.

“They want people to get shot. They wanted Rene good to get shot. They want more people to get shot. They’re trying to put ICE agents in a perspective where they fear for their lives and they feel like they need to act out here,” he said.

He added that he did not expect criminal charges against ICE agents involved in recent incidents and argued that activists were attempting to manufacture misconduct cases.

“They’re not going to be any criminal charges against this ICE agent. There shouldn’t be, but they want more of these situations because they want to catch an ICE agent doing something improper, so that they can argue that all this should be shut down. That’s their goal, clearly,” Travis said.

Hasnie concluded the discussion by noting potential political consequences Democrats believe could follow heightened activism, including renewed threats of a government shutdown.

“Well, They certainly think they have the momentum to be able to come back to the hill and threaten to now shut down the government again, to try to reform the Department of Homeland Security. I don’t know how that’s going to go,” Hasnie said.
