On Tuesday's episode of the American Family Association's "At The Core" program, Trump-loving Christian nationalist pseudo-historian and self-proclaimed "Constitution Coach" Rick Green urged President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to the anti-ICE protests occurring in Minneapolis.
Green insisted that what is happening in Minnesota is "an actual insurrection," unlike when hordes of MAGA activists stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying Trump's electoral loss, which Green declared was nothing more than American citizens simply "asking government to do its job."
"[There's a] small little thing going on in a little town there in Minnesota," Green said. "Like, an actual insurrection. We've thrown that word around a lot since 2021—Jan. 6th—and wrongly used for a long time."
"Now, you're actually trying to prevent law enforcement and the nation from enforcing its laws and fulfilling its duty, whereas on Jan. 6, people were asking government to do its job, to actually do what it's called upon to do under the Constitution and under our law."
"That was definitely the opposite of an insurrection on Jan. 6," Green asserted. "This is an actual insurrection. This is an actual trying to prevent government from doing what it's been called on to do. Definitely a violation of the Insurrection Act."
