On Saturday, The Conservative Review<\/a> reported on an FBI raid on the home of Mark Houck, a Catholic author, lecturer, radio host, and co-founder of The King’s Men<\/a> \u2013 a club for men “to unite and build up other men in the mold of leader, protector, and provider through education, formation, healing, and action.”<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie Houck, told LifeSiteNews<\/a>, “For ‘weeks and weeks,’ a ‘pro-abortion protester’ would speak to the boy saying ‘crude \u2026 inappropriate and disgusting things,’ such as ‘you\u2019re dad\u2019s a fag,’ and other statements that were too vulgar for her to convey.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houck’s wife claimed that Love got into “the son\u2019s personal space” and refused to stop saying “crude\u2026 inappropriate and disgusting” comments at the father and son.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Houck “shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back” and he hit the ground. Houck allegedly pushed the pro-abortion man to the ground outside of the Planned Parenthood clinic a second time. Love \u2013 a 72-year-old volunteer escort at the abortion clinic \u2013 reportedly suffered injuries that required medical attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police were called, but Houck was reportedly not charged because there was a “lack of evidence” of an assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan-Marie Houck claimed that Love “tried to sue Mark,” but the case was thrown out of court this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 7:05 a.m. on Friday, the Houck’s home was reportedly raided by 25 to 30 FBI agents and 15 government vehicles surrounded their house.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan-Marie Houck said the FBI agents had their guns drawn and “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Houck allegedly told the FBI agents, “Please, I\u2019m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the front door was opened, Ryan-Marie said, “They had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The kids were all just screaming,” she said. “It was all just very scary and traumatic.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houck was arrested and taken away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that Houck was not charged or arrested and the case was thrown out of court this past summer is suspicious. It sounds as if the person who was shoved knew who to contact to escalate the incident.<\/p>\n

The Daily Wire<\/a> posted an article today on the events, but added some interesting details and denials:<\/p>\n

A spokesperson with the Philadelphia office of the FBI said SWAT was not involved with the arrest of Houck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are inaccurate claims being made regarding the arrest of Mark Houck. No SWAT Team or SWAT operators were involved,\u201d a spokesperson told<\/a> Fox News.\u00a0\u201cFBI agents\u00a0knocked on Mr. Houck\u2019s front door, identified themselves as FBI agents and asked him to exit the residence. He did so and was taken into custody without incident pursuant to an indictment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notably, a senior FBI source told Fox News there might have been 15-20 agents at the scene who came to the family\u2019s door with guns out and at the ready. The source claimed that the guns were never pointed at Houck or his family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there are 15-20 people coming toward my house with guns, I really don’t care whether or not they are a SWAT Team–they are pretty intimidating. This is another example of the Justice Department harassing people whose politics disagree with those of the President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
