Ex-NFL Player’s Anti-MAGA Protest Goes National
Former NFL player Chris Kluwe was arrested at a Huntington Beach city council meeting after a speech condemning the MAGA movement as Nazi-like following the council’s approval of a MAGA-themed plaque commemorating the city library’s anniversary. Kluwe, known for his activism, directly confronted council members after his speech, leading to his arrest on misdemeanor charges for disrupting an assembly. He maintains his actions were necessary to oppose what he views as a rightward shift in Huntington Beach politics and a disregard for community concerns by the current city council. Kluwe’s arrest has sparked potential legal challenges, and he hopes to inspire wider civic engagement to counter the influence of the MAGA movement.
