Johnson\u2019s post comes after President Donald Trump and conservatives have gone overboard with posting racist memes<\/a> of Democrats wearing sombreros<\/a>, sporting cartoonish handlebar mustaches, and dancing to mariachi music \u2013 all as part of an effort to misleadingly claim<\/a> that the government shutdown is because Democrats want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n In this instance, however, Johnson was referencing this past weekend\u2019s ICE raids in Chicago, which featured him tagging along with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, wearing a Border Patrol flack jacket, and taking pictures with masked federal agents in full military garb.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just me and my homies, in the streets,\u201d Johnson captioned one tweet.<\/p>\n \u201cI rode with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE on intense raids across left-wing violence ridden Chicago,\u201d Johnson wrote in another post. \u201cFrom tunnels under Trump Tower to the most targeted ICE facility, we faced violent Antifa, chaos, and criminals on the run. It was insane.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n MAGA provocateur Benny Johnson posted an AI-generated clip featuring him as Batman punching out caricatures of migrants wearing sombreros and ponchos \u2014 including a woman. (YouTube)<\/p>\n Besides sharing other videos of himself joining Noem in a sniper\u2019s nest atop the ICE federal detention facility<\/a> in Chicago and the DHS chief accompanying an immigration raid<\/a> outside a Walmart store, Johnson also decided to make himself the star of his own MAGA superhero adventure.<\/p>\n In a 22-second clip he posted to X<\/a>, Johnson \u2013 clad in Batman\u2019s costume \u2013 exits the Batmobile, which is parked outside of a Walmart. Suddenly, a slew of what are assumed to be illegal migrants \u2013 all of whom are wearing large colorful ponchos and sombreros \u2013 begin fighting with Johnson\u2019s version of the Caped Crusader.<\/p>\n 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 \u2013 complete with the \u201cPOW! THWACK!\u201d graphics that were made famous by the show.<\/p>\n Towards the end of the clip, Johnson\u2019s 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 \u201cBONK!\u201d graphic comes flying towards the screen.<\/p>\n The AI-animated meme of Johnson pretending to be a superhero while punching out sombrero-wearing migrants comes as the Trump administration has escalated both its ICE enforcement in Chicago and its confrontations with protesters at the Broadview facility. <\/p>\n This has resulted in local politicians and officials getting roughed up and arrested<\/a>, protesters and journalists being hit with tear gas and pepper balls, and a woman getting shot over claims she \u201cboxed in\u201d federal agents. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Benny Johnson shared an AI video of himself as Batman after spending the weekend accompanying ICE on raids in Chicago. (YouTube)<\/p>\n As immigration officials become increasingly aggressive with their tactics<\/a>, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said the Trump administration is the one \u201cmaking it a war zone\u201d in the city while suing the president<\/a> to stop the deployment of National Guard troops to boost deportations. Pritzker has further vowed to investigate<\/a> a middle-of-the-night ICE raid on an apartment complex that left \u201cnearly naked\u201d children zip-tied for hours.<\/p>\n A former serial plagiarist<\/a> who was duped last year<\/a> into unwittingly working for Kremlin operatives, Johnson has seen his stock rise since Trump\u2019s return to office and now enjoys unfettered access<\/a> to the White House, which fully embraces him.<\/p>\n While Johnson posts AI slop of him punching out women in front of Walmart with a smile on his face, it was less than two weeks ago when he admonished liberals to tone down the political rhetoric.<\/p>\n Following the brief suspension of ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, whose punishment by Disney may have been a direct result of comments<\/a> FCC chairman Brendan Carr made on Johnson\u2019s show, the podcaster called for a \u201creckoning\u201d<\/a> in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n \u201cLeft-wing commentators must be held accountable. They are actively fueling violence, celebrating death and inciting attacks on Conservatives and law enforcement,\u201d Johnson tweeted late last month. <\/p>\n \u201cThe pressure need to fall on figures like Kimmel, [Stephen] Colbert, and [Keith] Olbermann to denounce their rhetoric and explicitly disavow all violence,\u201d he added. \u201cThere must be a reckoning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-182860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"MAGA](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-Capture-2025-10-06-14-56-41.png\")
