DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The FBI is investigating possible “targeted violence against religious groups” in Seattle after leftists crashed two Christian events over the past week and dozens of people were arrested, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Wednesday.
Seattle police arrested eight people on Tuesday evening on suspicion of assault after an Antifa-style mob clashed with protesters led by the conservative Christian group Mayday USA, The Seattle Times reported. The incident followed a Saturday event hosted by the same religious group in Seattle, where 23 people were arrested in similar clashes, grabbing the FBI’s attention.
“We have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle concert,” Bongino said in a Tuesday X post. “Freedom of religion isn’t a suggestion.”
