Journalist Cam Higby faced an angry mob in Chicago while covering an anti-ICE protest. While Higby was trying to conduct an interview, the crowd chanted increasingly hostile remarks at him, at one point even mocking Charlie Kirk calling Higby, ‘Temu Charlie Kirk.’
One woman approached Higby and made a finger gun motion to his neck.

The unhinged protestors continued to harass Higby. One woman said, in what seems to be a hint that he will be harmed in his role as a journalist covering a newsworthy story, “Go home. Please, for your safety, go home.”
Higby declined the request and continued to report on the situation.

Watch (language warning):
Last week, Higby spoke at the Anfita roundtable at the White House about his experiences with violent leftists and unloaded on the legacy media that refuses to report on them.
“When I leave my house to go to work, I’m violently assaulted. I’ve had guns pulled on me, I’ve been bear-sprayed, I’ve been beaten down, I’ve been almost killed. ”
He then looked at the legacy media and asked, “So, my question for all of you…how would you feel if every time you showed up to work, masked militants tried to kill you?”
“Because that’s how we feel. That’s our lived reality.”
“And you go and tell us we’re ‘liars,’ ‘the riots aren’t that bad,’ right?”
“I’ve never seen any of you guys on the ground. In fact, I’ve never seen anybody representing the companies you work for on the ground.”
“You guys come to us for interviews that never get published.”
“Stop saying we’re lying. We’re not. We risk our lives every day to do the job you guys are too afraid to do.”
HOLY CRAP! Cam Higby – who goes into public to hold civil debates – SCORCHES the media TO THEIR FACES
