MAJOR MAGA Influencer ARRESTED in STING OPERATION!
Mike Nellis
0:00 Surprise, surprise, folks.
0:01 We've got another MAGA influencer under arrest for human sex trafficking.
0:05 This is a man by the name of Craig Long.
0:07 He is a tremendous supporter of Donald Trump's.
0:09 Trump pardoned him for participating in the January 6 insurrection last year.
0:13 Three weeks ago, in this image,
0:15 you can see him partying with Donald Trump and Don Jr.
0:18 cage side at a UFC fight.
0:20 And now, this man, Craig Long, is under arrest for human sex trafficking.
0:24 Let's dive into this bizarre trend and the caliber
0:26 and the quality of the people that Donald Trump surrounds himself with.
0:31 Before we get started, make sure you're subscribed to the channel.
0:34 Be sure to engage with the video.
0:35 Every single little action you take helps us build
0:38 an independent media company that can take down these MAGA clowns.
0:41 Let's start this video by showing you a brief clip
0:43 of the sheriff who arrested Craig Long for human sex trafficking.
0:46 This clip is really something to watch.
0:48 Then there's Craig Long.
0:49 We arrested.
0:51 He's 41.
0:52 And some of you may recognize him.
0:54 He's an influencer.
0:55 He also owns Craig Long Fitness in Tampa.
1:00 He was seeking the services of a prostitute.
1:04 Did I tell you that he's married?
1:07 That he's got 125 followers on Instagram, 568 followers on Tik Tok.
1:16 Well, I'm going to give him some content for his social media today.
1:21 He was a previous felon who straightened up really what we want to see in life.
1:27 Now he's an influencer.
1:30 You know, he moves in big circles even with the president.
1:37 This is a photograph with the president and his son not long ago.
1:43 Now, we like to see people who make mistakes early in life,
1:46 and he had a long history straighten up.
1:49 We like the fact that he likes the cops.
1:53 Heck, he liked him so much he got caught up in a sting
1:56 and got to be up and up and real close with the cops.
2:02 We asked what his attitude was, they said, "Oh, he had a great attitude.
2:07 He appreciates law enforcement." Well, there you go.
2:12 Got arrested in the human trafficking scheme.
2:15 I got to tell you, the unusual sassiness of this sheriff is unbelievable to me.
2:21 Like, I love this guy.
2:22 Just seems to be having a good time
2:24 dragging Craig Long here for soliciting a prostitute.
2:28 And let's let's start here with the quality and the caliber
2:32 of the people that Donald Trump surrounds himself with because
2:34 we know that so many of these MAGA influencers are complete
2:37 and totally full of[ __] I've debated a lot of them.
2:40 Every time you get in their face about what they
2:42 believe in, they fold because they can't take a punch.
2:45 And it's because so many of them simply want to say
2:48 and do whatever to get access to the president of the United States,
2:52 to power, to influence, to money.
2:54 And because of that, almost all,
2:55 if not all of them are complete and total phonies.
2:58 So for Craig Long, and Craig Long has had a difficult life.
3:01 He's made a lot of mistakes in his early life.
3:03 He was supposed to be an example to them
3:05 of somebody who had reformed their entire life,
3:07 who had embraced the MAGA movement,
3:09 who had embraced Christianity and family values
3:12 and became this silver beacon for them.
3:14 He built an audience of people not dissimilar from what we've covered
3:18 about Russell Brand and Nicki Minaj and other people who have tried
3:21 to make their mistakes into their salvation when in reality they're not
3:26 interested in actually atoning for any of the harm that they've caused.
3:29 They're not actually interested in anything
3:31 other than getting followers online so
3:33 that they can make money and go to UFC fights with the president.
3:36 And that's the whole reason I rag on Russell
3:38 Brand all the time because he is an absolute
3:40 phony who should be facing and is facing charges
3:43 from six women who have accused him of assault.
3:46 And now we find out unsurprisingly that Craig Long is no different.
3:50 And what's amazing about this story is Craig Long had built
3:53 his entire influence around one his support for the president obviously,
3:58 but also his support for law enforcement.
4:00 There are numerous instances of this man
4:03 praising the very sheriff who arrested him.
4:05 And now what are they going to do?
4:07 Is he going to turn on him?
4:08 Is he going to do what Donald Trump would do and try
4:10 to just dis disparage the character of the sheriff who was doing his job,
4:15 who was trying to prevent human sex trafficking in his city?
4:18 Is that what's going to happen here?
4:19 Is the entire MAGA movement going to rally around him?
4:23 Is the president of the United States going to try to pardon him?
4:26 Or is he going to put pressure on Governor Dantis to to pardon him?
4:30 He may.
4:31 He may.
4:31 Because that's how it works in the MAGA movement.
4:34 We've seen this with the Epstein files.
4:35 We've seen this with Donald Trump's own crimes.
4:37 We've seen this with so many different people.
4:40 If you know the right person, if you have enough money,
4:42 you can get out of basically anything if you are a part of this MAGA world.
4:46 the justice system does not apply to them.
4:49 James Comey can post a stupid meme made up of seashells on the internet.
4:53 He gets prosecuted with the fullest extent of the law
4:56 against the DOJ on[ __] charges and this keeps happening.
4:59 But they won't do anything about this guy.
5:01 They won't do anything about the Epstein files.
5:03 They won't do anything about the president of the United States
5:05 because it exposes the rot at the core of their movement.
5:08 And people are sick of it and people should be deeply offended by it.
5:11 But that's why Craig Long and other mega
5:14 influencers like him do it because they need it.
5:16 Either because there's somebody like Riley Gaines who has nothing to offer.
5:21 She's never gotten a real job.
5:22 She's never actually done anything other than
5:24 complain on the internet about trans athletes.
5:26 Could be people like Benny Johnson who
5:28 take money from foreign entities and then prop up and say whatever they need him
5:31 to say to spread disinformation on the internet.
5:34 These people are not real human beings.
5:36 They are shells of human beings and they're either trying
5:38 to get out of a crime or trying to line their pockets
5:40 before the president of the United States fully crashes with the rest
5:43 of the American people who haven't turned on him yet.
5:45 And again, this is a disturbing story because Craig Long broke the law,
5:49 is participating in a human sex trafficking crime,
5:51 got himself caught up in a sting,
5:53 and I'm not entirely sure he'll ever actually face justice.
5:55 I'm not entirely sure that he will.
5:57 Donald Trump's already pardoned the guy once,
5:59 and he's clearly got access to it given the fact that he
6:01 was he was at the UFC fight just 3 weeks ago.
6:04 But that's not the only place that he was.
6:05 Check this out, folks.
6:07 Believe it or not, not only was Craig Long going to UFC fights,
6:09 but he was also at the Easter egg hunt filled with a ton of kids,
6:13 which is probably not a great place to have
6:14 a human sex trafficker, if you ask me.
6:18 We out here having a good time, man.
6:20 Sunny, I'm still dressed like I'm in Florida.
6:24 You see them pink shorts?
6:27 They said the woke right, the left.
6:30 They say Israel, Iran, Iran, we're at war.
6:36 The gas prices are high.
6:37 All right, we'll stop there.
6:38 What an absolute loser.
6:40 And by the way, the gas prices are high.
6:42 And these guys are an absolute joke.
6:44 They don't understand why the president
6:45 of the United States is seeing his support
6:47 collapse amongst basically all parts of America
6:49 except for MAGA hacks like Craig Long here.
6:52 But listen, you act like a MAGA influencer.
6:54 You're out there.
6:55 You get access to the president.
6:56 You get to go to the White House Easter egg hunt.
6:58 You get to do all of that[ __] You get to yuck it up and have a good time.
7:00 You're spreading their lies.
7:02 And this guy is not a good human being.
7:04 I'm sure that he will be graveling for the pardon
7:06 that he believes he'll deserve either from Trump
7:07 or from Dantis depending upon how the crime
7:10 and the and the prosecution of it plays out.
7:12 Maybe Trump's going to lean on local officials to try to get him out.
7:15 But we see this[ __] time and again.
7:17 These are not good human beings.
7:19 And it's disturbing.
7:20 And I think we should add too
7:22 because Craig Long is a January 6th insurrectionist.
7:24 He participated in the attack on the Capitol.
7:26 He was arrested and prosecuted and pardoned by Trump.
7:29 This is not the first time that we have seen somebody that Donald
7:32 Trump has pardoned as part of the January
7:34 6th insurrection get into trouble again.
7:37 We have seen them be found with kitty porn.
7:39 We have seen them be found assaulting others.
7:41 We have seen them make plans to try to abduct and kill members of Congress.
7:44 This keeps happening.
7:46 Trump made a decision that I have called his original sin,
7:49 which was to pardon every single person
7:51 who participated in the January 6th insurrection,
7:54 including copers, including people who were trespassers,
7:56 including people who were neo-Nazis and fascists.
7:59 And he has allowed these people to go
8:00 back into the world and commit more crimes.
8:03 As if, by the way, the crime of trying
8:04 to overthrow the presidential election in 2020 wasn't bad enough,
8:08 which it absolutely should have been,
8:10 to lock many of these people up for the rest of their lives, if not all of them.
8:13 I'm sure that there were a few people that got caught up
8:16 in something that they shouldn't have been and maybe they deserved a pardon.
8:18 But for Christ's sakes, we're letting out copers.
8:21 We're letting people back out into the world so they can solicit prostitutes,
8:24 they can share kitty,
8:25 that they can attack members of Congress and[ __] like that.
8:28 This is a pattern inside the administration of complete and total lawlessness.
8:32 They want to be able to get away and do anything with impunity and they
8:36 want to throw the book at you over stupid[ __] if you stand up to them.
8:39 They've done it time and again.
8:40 They go after James Comey.
8:42 They go after Tish James.
8:43 They go after Don Lemon.
8:44 They go after Jimmy Kimmel.
8:45 To them, those are the criminals.
8:47 But when they look at a guy like Craig Long,
8:49 a guy who is soliciting prostitutes, a guy who broke into the capital,
8:52 a guy who has done many, many despicable things, they see a hero.
8:56 And I'm sure that what's going to happen is
8:58 we're going to get a redemption tour for Craig Long.
9:00 He's going to talk about how he's found God.
9:02 He's going to talk about how President Trump has given
9:05 him a second chance to live his life once again, and it's going to be all fake.
9:10 We should ignore these people to the best that we
9:12 can and expose them when we can because there are,
9:14 you heard it earlier from the sheriff, right?
9:16 There's 500,000 people on Instagram who follow this clown and they believe him.
9:22 They believe him and they're in an echo chamber and a bunch of other
9:24 big MAGA voices are going to elevate him because he's good and useful for them.
9:28 And it's it's disgusting and it keeps happening time and time again.
9:31 Here's just the icing on the cake of the hypocrisy of these people
9:35 because here's Craig Long tweeting about the movie Sound of Freedom,
9:39 which is uh about human trafficking and him saying,
9:41 "Let's keep blowing this movie up.
9:43 We must spread awareness against human trafficking.
9:46 We must spread awareness against human trafficking." And there he is getting
9:51 caught up in a human trafficking sting because he was soliciting a prostitute.
9:57 My guess would be that they were trafficked from god knows where.
10:00 So these people are not sincere about every anything.
10:03 And what we know is that so many of these guys like Craig Long,
10:06 they get paid to promote these movies.
10:08 This is an ongoing thing that we saw.
10:10 I I mentioned Riley Gaines earlier this week.
10:13 She's the perfect example of it because she got paid by the makers
10:15 of the new Animal Farm movie to post about how great the movie was.
10:19 And her take could not have been more idiotic.
10:21 That's maybe a different video to shoot,
10:23 but you can basically pay these people to say or do anything.
10:27 So, if you've got a new movie out,
10:28 if you've got a documentary about human trafficking out,
10:30 you can pay Craig Long 500 bucks and he'll send a tweet about it.
10:33 Okay?
10:33 If you're Donald Trump and you need somebody
10:35 to say that gas prices aren't actually high,
10:37 you could pay Craig Long 500 bucks and you'll get a free tweet about it.
10:40 They'll go on TV, they'll carry your water, they'll go on a YouTube show,
10:43 they'll say whatever the hell you want because they're paid.
10:45 And so when we talk about,
10:47 and I'm going to end it here, when we talk about independent media,
10:50 when we talk about how the corporate media has let us down,
10:52 how conservatives have built this massive MAGA media ecosystem,
10:56 which at the moment is kind of falling apart based on the Daily Wire
10:59 layoffs and Fox and a whole bunch of other scandals that are out there,
11:02 Laura Loomer and Candace Owens fighting with one another.
11:04 When we talk about independent media,
11:07 it should be looking for people who are not being paid by Hollywood,
11:11 not being paid by the MAGA movement.
11:13 Donald Trump's PAC is MAGA Inc.
11:14 They pay influencers to talk for them.
11:16 That's why they in unison started to support the ballroom after
11:19 whatever the hell happened at the White
11:21 House correspondents dinner last Saturday.
11:23 They get paid to do this[ __] And the truth of the matter is when you watch me,
11:26 when you watch Adam Mockler,
11:28 when you watch some of the other folks on the Democratic Party site,
11:29 we're not being paid.
11:30 Like I'm not being paid to shoot these videos.
11:32 All right?
11:33 We make money from the support of our community, our paid members.
11:36 We make money based on the creator rewards
11:38 uh through YouTube when the videos do well, when you engage with them.
11:40 But I'm not taking money from anybody to share my views.
11:43 And if I do take advertising revenue, I'll be honest with you about it.
11:46 I've done it a little bit on my Substack
11:48 where I've taken some money from Ground News, taken some money from Incogn,
11:51 and then we've talked about their product and service.
11:53 But I'm never going to take money to promote
11:55 whatever stupid thing that, you know, my party wants.
11:58 Like, if my party starts trying to pay me,
12:00 if the Democratic party wants to pay me to show for them,
12:02 I'm not going to do that.
12:03 All right?
12:03 I'm a proud Democrat and I'm going to be honest with you about who I'm working
12:06 with and who I support and try to do this in a way where it's not gross.
12:10 Because that's how you get guys like Craig Long who manipulate their story,
12:14 who lie about who they are, who tell you everything that they want to hear
12:16 because it's the easy way to get fame.
12:18 It's the easy way to get money.
12:19 It's the easiest way to get access to power to maybe
12:21 eventually get a pardon for this crime that they've that he's committed.
12:24 That's what they do.
12:25 And I'm not going to do that.
12:26 And we need more people, Democrat, Republican, everybody in between,
12:30 to be willing to do that and build up these independent
12:32 media companies to take these guys down because there's too many frauds,
12:36 too many phonies dominating our politics,
12:38 telling you what you want to hear when the camera's
12:40 on and then doing something else when the camera's off.
12:43 And I just want to say to end this,[ __] every single one
12:45 of those guys because they are the ones who are tearing this country apart.
12:49 And if you're with me, if you want to help us build up this company,
12:51 if you want to help us take on MAGA, subscribe to this channel.
12:54 Make sure that you engage with this video and hit the little bell
12:57 icon so you get an update the next time I post a video.
12:59 Thanks everybody.
