Daily Wire host Matt Walsh blasted the dishonest media’s obsession with stoking racial division by reporting on a false story about a pregnant hospital worker accused of stealing a black man’s bike instead of covering the murder of white handyman Lawrence Herr by two black suspects in Louisiana.

“The Matt Walsh Show” podcast host on Monday gave details about what happened last month to the 66-year-old handyman who he said was working on installing a mailbox when he was shot in the back and killed. That story, Walsh noted, was not one that was widely reported in the mainstream media.

Walsh said police arrested two black men – Taj Matthews, 23, and Maurice Holmes, 25 in the murder. A lead detective with the Kenner Police Department testified recently that one of the suspects told police “they wanted to go out and kill a white guy,” according to 4WWL.

“Maurice Holmes and Taj Matthews were black and Lawrence Herr was white, so they executed him,” Walsh said. “Now, these men, they didn’t know Lawrence Herr or they didn’t get into some kind of altercation with him that day.”

“He didn’t shout the N-word at them while they drove past,” he added. “Not that that would justify it. They just decided to take a day off work to go hunting for white people. And so they did.”

“Now, no mainstream media outlet in the country has covered this story,” Walsh continued, noting he’s not seen it on Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, or any other major outlets. However, he said the one you are hearing about in the media is the false story involving a pregnant hospital worker Sarah Comrie — who was accused of stealing a black man’s bike.

“Instead they spent the past week going wall to wall with an obviously fake story about a pregnant white physician’s assistant in New York City who supposedly decided to, out of nowhere one day, terrorize some black people,” the host added. “And yet no media outlets did any research or investigation into this version of events. We were supposed to simply accept it at face value, and many people did. And they did so based entirely on this out-of-context video.”

Walsh noted that the headline in the New York Post read, “NYC Hospital ‘Karen’ On Leave After Being Accused Of Trying To Take Black Man’s Bike In Viral Video.”

“The article goes on to mock Sarah Comrie, saying that she, quote, appears to start crying theatrically in the video,” the DW host said. “Now, this is the New York Post. We’re talking about, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop story. They’re capable of doing real investigative journalism on occasion, and sometimes they do.”

“But what they did here is use a racial slur in a headline to spread an obvious lie about a pregnant hospital worker,” he added. “And yes, Karen is a racial slur…Even an article in the BBC from 2020 acknowledges that the Karen meme reference is, quote, a specific type of middle-class white woman.”

“And it became popular, quote, as a way for people of color, particularly black Americans, to satirize this type of white person,” Walsh continued. “In other words, it’s a derogatory label that one race of people uses to describe members of another race, otherwise known as a racial slur.”

The host said Comrie’s attorney has provided the receipt to prove that in fact, she was the owner of the bike and not the other way around. “Sara Comrie rented the bike. That’s not in dispute. The teenagers apparently swapped the QR codes so that she would unlock the bike that they were sitting on, which they could then steal,” Walsh said.

“What’s interesting is why anyone, journalists or otherwise pretended to believe this story for so long,” he added. “Why would anyone pretend to believe again that a white, middle-aged woman who just got off a 12-hour shift at a hospital tried to steal a bike from black teenagers?”

“There’s a reason the media has to lie about the stories of Sarah Comrie and Amy Cooper, not to mention the most egregious recent example, which was Daniel Penny,” he added. “And the reason is simple: it’s because they can’t find videos and news stories of white people going out and hunting black people. It just doesn’t happen. They lie and pretend it happens all the time. But it’s not true. And the people spreading this narrative, they know that it isn’t true.”

More than half of U.S. Senators accepted taxpayer-funded emergency satellite phones as part of a series of new security measures implemented after the January 6 Capitol riot.

According to a CBS report, approximately 50 out of 100 sitting members of Congress received the technology amid growing concerns about hometown security risks or in the case of an emergency that could wipe out communications in the U.S.

During testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said officials would deploy satellite communication “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”

Department of Homeland Security issued an advisory saying that such mobile phones are used for emergency communications during natural disasters or man-made incidents, including potential chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive events.

“Satellite mobile phones can help maintain command and control functions during an emergency when existing communications networks are not functioning,” the advisory reads. “These phones are designed to be relatively rugged and simple to operate, but are more expensive than cell phones to buy and use.”

Gibson reportedly also opened an office “demonstration space” in the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building, which offers lawmakers and staff security upgrades in their home state, including “duress buttons,” mail screening devices, and safety glass to reduce the risk of attacks, CBS reported.

“Our team provided initial physical security enhancements for 31 offices and improved existing security for 52 others in 2022,” she said in testimony. “Maintaining security systems in good working order is a priority, and to support this effort our team conducted over 622 service calls to maintain, repair, and or test and inspect state office physical security systems in 2022.”

House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland told legislators in April that a “robust participation” program that coordinates with local police departments is underway to allow Capitol Police protection for House members outside of Washington, D.C., as part of a bill passed by Congress in 2022.

The legislation required security administrators to “enhance member protection including providing a security program for Congressional Leadership, expanding Dignitary Protection Division services and expanding USCP field office presence,” the bill reads, according to CBS.

Conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley, known as @DC_Draino on social media platforms, expressed concerns over the report.

“Many are worried a cyber attack prior to the 2024 election would be used to justify changes in voting procedures that will benefit Joe Biden,” O’Handley said. “Today we learned that U.S. Senators are being issued special satellite phones for this exact scenario. Not good.”
