The FBI just announced it thwarted a domestic terror plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn — a plot involving explosive-laden drones, sniper teams, and 23 suspects — and somehow the biggest threat Hillary Clinton could identify that day was a cage match ruining the dignity of "our house."
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed on Tuesday that the bureau discovered the threat on June 10, just four days before the UFC event took place on June 14. Five individuals are currently in custody. According to Patel, "multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold." A multistate law enforcement operation brought down a network of 23 suspects who had been coordinating through Signal chat messages to carry out what can only be described as a full-blown terrorist assault on American soil.
The alleged plot was horrifying in its sophistication. The suspects planned to deploy explosive-laden drones targeting buildings near the event, designed to force a mass evacuation of attendees — directly toward a waiting sniper team. A "second wave" was then supposed to storm the White House gate itself. Some of the plotters had traveled to Fredericksburg, Virginia, approximately one hour from Washington, D.C., between June 12 and 13 to stage their operation. One arrest was made in Cincinnati.
Vice President JD Vance called it "very, very dark stuff," emphasizing that coordination among 23 people required serious "funding" and "coordination." He's not wrong. This wasn't some lone nutjob with a manifesto and a bad haircut. This was organized, funded, and deliberately timed.
The plotters allegedly targeted what they called "capitalist elites," "billionaires," and politicians receiving AIPAC funding. So basically everyone the far left has spent the last two years demonizing on college campuses and in congressional hallways. Funny how that works.
President Trump, who was attending the Group of Seven summit in Evian, France, at the time of the announcement, stated he hadn't yet heard about the specific plot. But here's what we do know — the event went off safely, the FBI did its job, and thousands of Americans enjoyed UFC Freedom 250 without a single incident. That's what competent law enforcement looks like.
While the FBI was quietly rolling up a 23-person terror cell, former First Lady Hillary Clinton decided the real outrage was a sporting event on the South Lawn. "Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house," she posted.
The internet did what the internet does best.
Rep. Tim Burchett, Republican of Tennessee, fired back: "They literally rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and don't forget Bill's activity in the Oval Office. The vandalism that went on when you left was also well-documented." Retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, the man who actually carried Bill Clinton's nuclear football, piled on by reminding everyone that Hillary's administration "trashed the place" upon departure. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch joined the chorus.
And the facts back them up. A Government Accountability Office investigation estimated $15,000 in damage when the Clintons left the White House in 2001. Then-Rep. Bob Barr, Republican of Georgia, said the administration treated the building "worse than college freshmen checking out of their dorm rooms." The GAO concluded some of the "pranks" were intentional criminal acts.
So let's get this straight. The FBI stops a sophisticated terror attack involving drones, snipers, and a gate-storming operation aimed at the White House — and Hillary Clinton's contribution to the national conversation is scolding Trump for hosting a UFC event. In "our house." The same house where Bill turned the Oval Office into his personal recreation room and the staff ripped phone cords out of the walls on the way out the door.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a cigar.
Thank God the FBI was focused on actual threats to American lives instead of tweeting about the dignity of the People's House. Maybe next time Hillary wants to lecture us about what belongs in the White House, she should start with what her husband got up to in January 1998 — and that infamous press conference denial we all remember.
But sure, Hillary. A UFC event. That's the real scandal.
