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.
