MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson posts video as Batman beating up men and women in sombreros to celebrate Chicago ICE raid

Source: Independent

-snip-

Besides sharing other videos of himself joining Noem in a sniper’s nest atop the ICE federal detention facility in Chicago and the DHS chief accompanying an immigration raid outside a Walmart store, Johnson also decided to make himself the star of his own MAGA superhero adventure.

In a 22-second clip he posted to X, Johnson – clad in Batman’s costume – exits the Batmobile, which is parked outside of a Walmart. Suddenly, a slew of what are assumed to be illegal migrants – all of whom are wearing large colorful ponchos and sombreros – begin fighting with Johnson’s version of the Caped Crusader.

In the fashion of the campy 1960s television series starring Adam West as Batman, the AI-animated version of Johnson punches and kicks various caricatures of migrants – complete with the “POW! THWACK!” graphics that were made famous by the show.

Towards the end of the clip, Johnson’s Dark Knight is seen delivering a right cross directly to the face of a woman, whose hat comes flying off as she staggers to the ground, all while a “BONK!” graphic comes flying towards the screen.

I truly don't get why I see chases and taking down fruit vendors, farmers, day laborers, guys at the carwash and not dangerous gang members.
This is what they get off on, going after poor terrified working people...
I wonder why he doesn't fantasize about taking down real gang members and dangerous criminals?
I don't recall Batman going after fruit vendors.
I think Johnson has the wrong character. He's more apt to be The Joker.

I would guess with Trump in the house, the criminals in this country or elsewhere have never been safer. Pay some money to the King and all's good.

need mental health assistance to get them back to the social, civilized path of "normal" people. I don't know if all of them can be saved... but even if we could change the tide on just a portion that might be enough to disenfranchise the rest of the Magats.

A billionaire that trolls the poorest and most desperate parts of the city beating up street criminals fully knowing it's within his power to help improve the living conditions in those poorer areas of town without beating up or killing anyone.

Why doesn't Batman ever go after billionaires and corrupt politicians?
