Daunte Wright Protester Mocks Trump While Holding Can of Soup

Video surfaced of a Daunte Wright protester in Minneapolis that has gone viral. In the video, the protester was seen winking while holding a can of soup during a CNN interview when asked who the soup is for.

Daunte Wright Protesters and BLM supporters have continued to the fourth night of protesting, rioting, and looting even after the news of Potter being arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter. America has to wonder what else they want and if the supporters of this movement plan to continue this path of destruction into the weekend.

The protester said, “I’ve been here all four nights.”

“I’m just standing here today with soup for my family,” the protestor continued, winking at the camera while raising a can of soup into the air “And we’re just watching all of this unfold. It’s very unfortunate,” he continued.

“You’re not planning on using that, are you? Throwing it at the police?” CNN’s reporter asked.

“Like I said, it’s for my family,” he responded.

Former President Trump claimed that protestors were throwing cans of soup at police officers during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.

“They have cans of soup. Soup. And they throw the cans of soup … and then when they get caught they say, ‘No this is soup for my family.’ They’re so innocent. This is soup for my family. It’s incredible,” Trump said at the time.

“Donald Trump’s worst nightmare has come true. On Wednesday, during the fourth night of demonstrations in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, against the police shooting of Daunte Wright, a protester gave an interview clutching a can of soup—and insisted he would use it to nourish his family,” quipped The Daily Beast.

Newsweek has made the same connections to Trump’s statement, reporting, “A man protesting the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright appeared to taunt authorities on Wednesday when he said he was carrying a can of “soup for my family,” in a nod to complaints former President Donald Trump once made about demonstrators.

The former police officer who reportedly shot Daunte Wright has “been formally charged with second-degree manslaughter for the shooting death of Daunte Wright over the weekend, Washington County Attorney Peter Orput announced Wednesday afternoon.”

“Potter, 48, was arrested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension early Wednesday, roughly 24 hours after the city announced she had submitted a letter of resignation. In the letter, Potter said that it was in the best interest of the community, the police department, and her colleagues for her to step down from the police force,” reported The Daily Wire.

Kim Potter, 48, was a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department. She now faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of second-degree manslaughter, and a maximum fine of $20,000 if convicted.
