Following his comments, Secret Service agents visited Krassenstein&#8217;s home, which he claimed was an act of intimidation tied to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-here-are-the-10-worst-colleges-for-free-speech\/\" title=\"Report: Here Are The 10 Worst Colleges For Free Speech\">social media activity<\/a>. Krassenstein defended his stance, asserting that his posts were meant to call for the legal removal of Trump and that the interpretation of them as inciting violence was misguided. This incident highlights the tensions between political figures and social media influencers,and it reflects ongoing discord over freedom of expression and perceived threats in the political landscape. The Krassenstein brothers, once prominent on Twitter and recently reinstated after a ban, have built a meaningful following by engaging vigorously in anti-Trump rhetoric.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of two brothers who became social media sensations thanks to their online baiting of President Donald Trump found out it went too far yesterday after echoing a veiled threat against the president.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Krassenstein &mdash; who, along with his brother Brian, became Twitter sensations for their near-immediate responses to any of Trump&rsquo;s tweets during his first presidency &mdash; reportedly had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/secret-service-interviews-james-comey-washington-dc-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secret Service<\/a> agents visit his home Friday after repeatedly defending former FBI Director James Comey&rsquo;s controversial &ldquo;86 47&rdquo; Instagram post on his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >social media accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comey is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-secret-service-moving-comey-shocking-call-attack-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">currently under investigation after the Instagram post<\/a>, in which he featured a &ldquo;cool shell formation on my beach walk.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Just James Comey causally calling for my dad to be murdered.<\/p>\n<p>This is who the Dem-Media worships.

Ed Krassenstein, along with his brother Brian, became well-known on Twitter for their quick replies to Trump&#8217;s tweets during his first term. Recently, Secret Service agents visited Ed&#8217;s home after he defended former FBI Director James Comey&#8217;s controversial Instagram post featuring the phrase &#8220;86 47,&#8221; which is currently under investigation. Comey later clarified that he did not intend for the numbers to be associated with violence and removed the post after realizing its implications. Despite this, Krassenstein continued to support Comey&#8217;s message and suggested it should serve as a rallying cry against perceived corruption in the current administration. Following this incident, Ed reported that Secret Service agents had come to his house, which he described in a TikTok video as part of an intimidation effort from Washington. He emphasized that &#8220;86&#8221; refers to removing something and &#8220;47&#8221; signifies Trump as the 47th president-implying legal means of removal like impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment-while noting there is no active impeachment movement within Congress at present.
