Walls Work Now? Fencing Goes Up Around White House In Anticipation Of Election Day Violence

The Secret Service has reinstalled metal fencing around the White House while private businesses across Washington, D.C., are left to board up windows and doors and fend for themselves in anticipation of Election Day unrest.

It is a striking display of nervousness in a deep blue city consisting overwhelmingly of citizens associated with the Democrat Party. (This is a city that voted 93% for Hillary Clinton, and 92% for Joe Biden. Saddam Hussein would have been jealous.)

“Signs of the impending Election Day, and the collective anxiety about what it may bring, emerged across the District in recent days as authorities fortified buildings and officials worked to tamp down residents’ concerns,” a report by the Washington Post states.

“Fences went up around (the) White House and other key locations.”

The concept of walling off major government-affiliated buildings escalated originally following the January 6th protests and has cropped up from time to time when the Biden-Harris administration is seeking to control situations and particular events.

Remind you of anything?

The Capitol complex, for months after the January 6 rally, had been fortified with thousands of National Guard troops, surrounded by razor-wire fencing, and locked down with manned checkpoints.

White House Fencing, Businesses Board Up To Prevent Destruction From Election Day Violence

A separate report from Fox News indicates it isn’t just businesses in Washington, D.C., prepping for Election Day vandalism and violence.

Other major cities – including New York and Portland – saw businesses feverishly boarding up before Tuesday.

The Secret Service told Fox they were “working closely” with federal, state, and local officials in order to implement “heightened levels of safety and security” ahead of the election.

Both candidates are seeing increased security as well. Trump, who has endured two significant assassination attempts in the last few months, is seeing the Secret Service work in conjunction with law enforcement in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has her home at the U.S. Naval Observatory surrounded by barriers, as does Howard University, where she will be spending election night.

Walls/Fences Work

Protecting Trump makes sense, considering Harris has actively portrayed him as the equivalent of Adolf Hitler. Protecting the Veep makes sense as well. But why is Harris hunkering down behind barriers? In Democrat strongholds no less?

Doesn’t she think walls are racist?

She did, for sure, describe the wall at the southern border as a “medieval vanity project.”



Now, she has her own little vanity project outside her home. Or maybe she finally realized barriers – or walls – work.

“It is sad that it has to come to that,” one D.C. resident local news outlet FOX 5. “I understand why store owners, especially local businesses, would want to do that. Even outside of the elections, there have been other instances where they should have boarded and they didn’t.”

“It’s sad. It’s the reality.”

It certainly is, far more often in cities run by Democrat politicians.
