Pete Santilli Rallies for Border Shutdown, Calls Obama an 'Unconstitutional Treasonous Bastard'
Pete Santilli, an extremist antigovernment and , is working with a group of bikers to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border crossing near San Diego on 鈥淐inco de Julio.鈥
Santilli, who lives in San Diego and hosts a program on the Guerilla Media Network, is best known for a last year in which he called for President Obama and the Bush family to be killed and for Hillary Clinton in the vagina and 鈥渟uffer painfully, right in front of me.鈥 His remarks from the Secret Service.
In April, Santilli rallied his listeners to gather at Cliven Bundy鈥檚 ranch and, if necessary, with federal agents who were trying to round up cattle that were illegally grazing on public lands. And last October, he rallied his listeners to attend a that threatened to shut down the D.C. beltway. The protest ultimately .
Santilli鈥檚 latest obsession is the and the of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi in Mexico (who crossed the border, accidentally he says, with three firearms). In response, he is organizing a protest with a group of bikers, dubbed 鈥淐inco de Julio,鈥 that he hopes will create a 鈥渢raffic聽jam of epic proportions鈥 and :
Americans are fed up with this lawless and criminal administration and are organizing a shutdown of the U.S. Mexico border on July 5th, 2014.聽 The objective is to demand the release of Tahmooressi, as well as shut down the flood of immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S.A. at the encouragement of the now impeachable President Barack Obama.
, Santilli whipped himself into a frenzy and denounced President Obama as an 鈥渦nconstitutional, treasonous bastard.鈥 He called for the president to be impeached immediately and for the border to be kept closed until Tahmooressi is repatriated and refugees are turned away at the border:
Although last year鈥檚 beltway protest was an abject failure, Santilli shows no intention of backing down from 鈥淐inco de Julio.鈥 Instead, he鈥檚 ordering his listeners to 鈥済et in your freaking car and drive to the border.鈥
鈥淓very individual right now needs to stop watching the decimation of our Constitution, the destruction of our country by that freaking NDAA [sic] basketball-dribbling, freaking Muslim Brotherhood bastard,鈥 he said, referring to Obama.
Interestingly, Santilli also aimed his fire at Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a hero of the anti-immigration movement, whom he called an 鈥渋nept, incompetent bastard.鈥 He was angry about remarks that Arpaio had made about refugees at the border.
Arpaio called them 鈥渋llegal Hispanics,鈥 but Santilli believes that this conceals a much more sinister reality: asylum-seeking Muslims coming across the border to possibly do us harm. 鈥淭here are Arabs coming over the border,鈥 Santilli said. 鈥淚 personally saw them.鈥
Santilli closed with a call to frenzied call to action: 鈥淵ou get a Constitution in your left breast pocket, and you say that, 鈥榃e run this freaking place!鈥 And you get ready to get in your car and get to the freaking border, so that you can save your country!鈥
Despite his abundant enthusiasm, Santilli鈥檚 track record suggests that 鈥淐inco de Julio鈥 will be another dud.
