[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Video shows right-wing influencer Jake Lang appearing injured during a confrontation at a protest in Minneapolis. The footage shows a large crowd downtown. Lang is seen moving through the area with visible injuries, blood on his face, head and clothing. Lang led an anti-Islam, anti-Somali demonstration near City Hall earlier that day. He announced plans on social media to burn a Koran and to march into the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, which is home to a large Somali community. Lang's march against Minnesota fraud was a protest against what he alleges is government corruption. Hundreds of counter-protesters arrived at the site, overwhelming Lang's small group of supporters and preventing him from continuing the demonstration. Lang was later confronted by counter-protesters as tensions rose and eventually left the area. CNN affiliate KARE reports Lang did not burn a Koran. Lang later claimed in a post on X that he had been stabbed by a counter-protester, an allegation CNN could not independently confirm. Some counter-protesters said they were opposing Lang's actions and broader political views, while one accused Lang of instigating tensions. Minneapolis police warned people to clear the streets and attempted to control the crowd. Lang was previously charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and later received clemency as part of President Donald Trump's sweeping clemency for Jan. 6 defendants. He is a candidate for U.S. Senate from Florida.
