Armed Texan Arrested for Alleged Trump Threats

 August 7, 2024

Christina Montoya's unexpected arrest in Washington, D.C., has sparked a wave of controversy and concern.

According to Conservative Brief, Christina Montoya of Texas was arrested by police in Washington, D.C., after allegedly traveling to the city with a loaded firearm and threatening former President Donald Trump.

Montoya, hailing from San Antonio, Texas, was apprehended in the nation’s capital for allegedly traveling with a loaded firearm and making threats against former President Donald Trump.

The Secret Service alerted the D.C. Metropolitan Police, leading to her arrest. Authorities charged her with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and making threats against a former president.

Arrest Sparks Concern Over Security Measures

On July 20, the threats against Trump began, escalating fears about his safety. Montoya’s vehicle contained a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistol, a magazine, and a gun lock, raising questions about how she managed to travel armed. Her arrest is part of a series of concerning events targeting Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance.

A previous attempt on Trump’s life occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. This incident, coupled with Montoya’s arrest, highlights the ongoing security challenges faced by the former president. Officials are under pressure to enhance protective measures to prevent further threats.

Dan Bongino, a conservative pundit, expressed frustration with the Secret Service over a video showing Thomas Crooks before an assassination attempt on Trump.

Crooks was seen on a cellphone video moving across a roof with a clear line of sight to Trump. Bongino questioned how such a potential threat could go unnoticed.

Multiple Threats Raise Alarm Nationwide

In a separate incident, Michael M. Wiseman, a Florida resident, was arrested for making written threats to murder Trump, Vance, and their families. His threats, posted on Facebook, led to his arrest in Jupiter, Florida, without incident. The Jupiter Police Department coordinated the investigation with the U.S. Secret Service and the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office.

Wiseman’s arrest underscores the increasing number of threats against political figures. These incidents have drawn national attention, prompting calls for stricter security protocols. Law enforcement agencies across the country are on high alert, working to prevent further threats.

Bongino’s criticism of the Secret Service reflects growing concerns about their effectiveness in safeguarding public figures. His remarks highlight the need for improved surveillance and intelligence gathering to ensure the safety of high-profile individuals.

If you’re looking at the three o’clock, how the hell do you miss this?! This is a cell phone camera! This is not a zoom, high, telephoto, freaking lens used to film a Marvel movie! It’s a cellphone! You can see the guy clear as day! How did they miss this?

Conclusion

The arrest of Christina Montoya in Washington, D.C., for alleged threats against Donald Trump, marks a troubling trend of increased hostility. With multiple threats reported, including an attempt on Trump’s life during a rally, security concerns are at an all-time high. The involvement of individuals like Michael M. Wiseman further complicates the situation, highlighting the need for vigilance. Criticism from figures like Dan Bongino emphasizes the urgency for improved security measures. As tensions rise, authorities face mounting pressure to protect public figures effectively.
