Criminal Usurper Biden Put Covid Skeptics on Terrorist No-Fly List

Of course.

WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration put Americans who defied COVID-19 mask mandates on no-fly lists -- some of which are ordinarily used to flag suspected terrorists -- according to preliminary findings from an internal Department of Homeland Security investigation obtained by The Post.

DHS flagged 19 Americans to Transportation Security Administration watchlists between Sept. 30, 2021, and Oct. 25, 2021, more than half of whom received the most severe no-fly designation and were prevented from boarding domestic flight as a result.

At least 11 of those Americans were kept on the watchlists until April 2022, when a federal court ruling forced the Biden administration to end its mask mandate.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that "Biden's TSA wildly abused their authority" when sharing the findings from the internal investigation, first reported by Fox News, into what the prior administration had dubbed Operation Freedom to Breathe.

"Biden's TSA Administrator [David] Pekoske and his cronies abused their authority and weaponized the federal government against the very people they were charged with protecting," Noem said in a statement

...

Noem fired five senior official associated with the operation and referred relevant information to the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division as well as to members of Congress for further investigation.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who chairs the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, put out a brief report Monday stating that at least 24 Americans were put on TSA watchlists due merely to their association with a protest group called the Freedom to Breathe Agency, which protested mask mandates.

Speaking of firing Democrat political activists who have burrowed into the supposedly non-partisan bureaucracy: Kash Patel fired 20 Democrat activists taking checks from the FBI who wore their FBI vests and windbreakers while kneeling for St. George Floyd of the Bloated Heart.

The FBI has fired roughly 20 agents who were photographed kneeling during a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Washington, D.C. The decision follows an internal review that found the agents violated bureau standards by engaging in politically charged conduct while on duty.

Key Details:

The Associated Press reported Saturday that several FBI agents were terminated after being identified in photos kneeling during a BLM protest in the nation's capital. Two sources said the total was about 20.
The FBI Agents Association confirmed the dismissals Friday. The group said it had urged Congress to review the firings, though Director Patel stated that all disciplinary actions were based on violations of bureau policy.
The kneeling occurred as protesters confronted federal agents protecting government buildings and monuments. According to CNN, FBI officials warned at the time that agents were not trained for crowd control and that such displays could compromise their neutrality.
