In a rare moment of clarity piercing the fog of mainstream media bias, CNN’s own senior legal analyst Elie Honig just torched sanctuary city policies as a bad idea on air during Friday’s The Source. While conceding they’re not outright illegal, Honig drew a firm line against the DOJ’s probe into Minnesota officials like Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty Frey and Governor Tim Walz, calling it off the rails for targeting elected leaders engaging in core protected First Amendment speech. This comes amid accusations that these pols are shielding violent criminals—many illegal immigrants—from federal immigration enforcement, letting them back onto the streets to reoffend. Honig’s critique isn’t some radical right-wing rant; it’s a legal heavyweight admitting the emperor has no clothes on progressive sanctuary dogma.
For the 2A community, this is a flashing red light on the deeper sanctuary menace that transcends borders and bleeds into gun rights. These policies don’t just harbor illegal aliens; they create no-go zones where law-abiding citizens are disarmed by defunded police and emboldened criminals roam free, turning self-defense into a legal minefield. Imagine facing a home invader who’s been cut loose by Walz-style catch-and-release—your Second Amendment carry permit suddenly feels like a bullseye when prosecutors prioritize equity over public safety. Honig’s nod to First Amendment protections for politicians’ folly underscores a hypocrisy: while blue-city DAs weaponize speech codes against gun owners (think assault weapon demagoguery), they cry foul when the feds scrutinize their own anti-enforcement rhetoric. It’s a reminder that sanctuary insanity erodes the rule of law that underpins our right to keep and bear arms.
The implications? Pressure builds for 2A warriors to hammer this narrative home—expose how Walz and Frey’s protected speech enables the chaos that justifies gun grabs. With midterms looming and SCOTUS battles ahead, Honig’s slip-up hands us ammo: even CNN can’t fully deny the sanctuary house of cards is crumbling. Time to curate, share, and amplify before the narrative gets memory-holed. Stay vigilant, patriots—your rights hang in the balance.
