Chris Kluwe was arrested for his Anti-MAGA remark, claims report
During a heated city council meeting in Huntington Beach, former NFL player Chris Kluwe was taken into custody as he voiced his opposition to a contentious “MAGA” plaque on display at the local public library.
Previously a Minnesota Vikings punter, he is recognized for his vocal activism. He criticized the phrase as a political statement and classified the MAGA movement as extreme. His action, a symbolic step towards the council in “peaceful civil disobedience,” resulted in his arrest.
In his address, Kluwe denounced the symbol MAGA, likening it to a hateful ideology. He stated that MAGA stands for erasing transgender individuals, promoting segregation, racism, censorship, and book bans. He characterized MAGA as a blatantly Nazi-inspired movement. Following his speech, a police officer stepped in, arresting Kluwe at the scene, and escorted him out of the meeting.
The local authorities accused Kluwe of disrupting a gathering, based on their records of arrests. For four hours, he was held in custody, afterwards receiving a citation and being released. In an interview with the OC Register, he highlighted that his demonstration aimed at raising awareness. He stated, “The action was taken to ensure people who witness it and those who will see it later understand its significance; it’s crucial enough to be arrested for.
For years, Kluwe has spoken out about his advocacy efforts. From 2005 to 2012, he was a player for the Minnesota Vikings. Previously, he garnered attention due to his critique of the NFL and his backing of LGBTQ+ rights.
