Recently President Biden said the biggest terrorist threat in the U.S. right now is white supremacy, and a few days later a man described as a “neo-Nazi white supremacist” drove a U-Haul into a security barrier near the White House. Here’s the white supremacist in question:

Just after the incident police arrested the man and a Nazi flag was placed on the ground — the large truck was otherwise empty. Many were a little suspicious about the circumstances.
People are already calling this alleged U-Haul attack near the White House a false flaghttps://t.co/WgS9aWhzNz

Here’s how the Daily Mail US put it:
Neo-Nazi who plowed truck into White House 'on Biden murder mission' believed Hitler was 'strong' https://t.co/VGOaq2rTPE pic.twitter.com/3P9PkNubH0

“On a Biden murder mission”? That sounds serious, and at first the charges reflected that. However, there’s now quite a contrast between the original charges and the updated version.
Dude rams a White House barrier and "his federal charges have since been downgraded to a single count of depredation of property of the United States"? https://t.co/H21BMdw95G
I don't want to sound paranoid, but that seems like they're trying to hush this up…

Here’s how the man was originally charged:
He was originally charged with threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on a president, vice president or family member, as well as assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, trespassing and destruction of federal property, US Park Police said.
However, the federal charges have been downgraded quite a bit:
His federal charges have since been downgraded to a single count of depredation of property of the United States in excess of $1,000.
Prosecutors told the court Kandula is not a US citizen, according to Fox News.
Wow. If somebody told the authorities this guy was spotted near the Capitol on January 6th maybe he’d be in custody for a few years.
Most all charges dropped? I told you something wasn't right about this. https://t.co/p7hJ07Ig69

Admits his intent was to take over the Govt and harm the President while carrying a Nazi Flag.
Has Charges Reduced!
Luckily for him, he didn't trespass on January 6th.

This story might totally disappear from the mainstream media outlets very soon (if it hasn’t already).
So it turns out the media’s favorite “white supremacist” isn’t even a US citizen
Hey media – do you feel humiliated yet?https://t.co/ElOQ2AIbik

Is the national media capable of that emotion?
