An FBI SWAT team raided the home of an activist mother of four in
Colorado on Tuesday, Nov. 16, knocking down her door, bursting into the
house with guns and handcuffing her while she was homeschooling her
children.

This is the first known case of the federal government making good on
its promise to not only intimidate but actually carry out a raid on a
mom who was involved in her local school board politics, said Brannon
Howse, who interviewed Sherronna Bishop at Lindell TV Wednesday night.

The U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland
issued an Oct. 4 memorandum directing federal, state and local law
enforcement to look for parents to prosecute nationwide who may have
made “threats” and made “harassing” phone calls to school board members
nationwide, equating such parents to domestic terrorists.

Now a mother, Sherronna Bishop of Grand Junction, Colorado, has felt the
brute force of the FBI’s heavily armed SWAT unit used against her
family.

She was at home with her three children about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when she
heard someone pounding on the front door, then using a battering ram to
break it down. She said the officers “manhandled” her 18-year-old
daughter, pulling her up the stairs by her hoodie, while another officer
put her in handcuffs and ushered her out of the house. They proceeded to
search the entire house.

UPDATE AS OF NOV. 19: The FBI has filed no charges against Bishop.

Three of Bishop’s four children, ages 8, 10 and 18, were home at the
time of the raid, as was her husband, who was also handcuffed. Her 17-
year-old son was at his high school.

Besides being a frequent attendee at her local school board meetings,
Bishop has also been active in the voter integrity movement in her state
and locality. She runs the website Americasmom.net, and on that site she
features an article and video under the title We the Parents: How Did We
Get Here?

She said she has not been guilty of anything but speaking her mind in
accordance with her First Amendment rights.

“This is still the United States of America, where we are able to state
what we think and we believe,” she told Howse. “There was some pounding
on my door. I didn’t really know what to think, I thought at first it
might be some neighbor kids. They were pounding profusely, and then it
hit me it was the FBI. I took my kids to their bedrooms. They used a
battering ram to bash down my door, they cuffed me. And then proceeded
to search and go through my whole home.”

She said the agents would not tell her why they were searching her home.
They did leave behind documents related to the search warrant, saying
they entered her home because she was suspected of causing “intentional
damage to a protected computer, wire fraud and conspiracy to cause
damage to a protected computer.”

“I don’t know anything about this. They couldn’t explain any of this,”
she said. “I will tell you why: they were at my home to intimidate me,
to shut me up, because I was using my First Amendment rights to advocate
for [Mesa County Clerk] Tina Peters on the issue of Dominion [voting
machines] and the damage done in our election. And they’ll never be held
accountable. Instead they will criminalize this woman who has stood up.”

“I know people will say, well Sherronna, why don’t you just shut your
mouth… That’s exactly what they hope you will do. I can open my mouth
and say whatever I want to say and that is not a criminal action. This
is about their desire to shut you down and stop you from saying it.”

“I’m a law abiding citizen, I’m very supportive of law enforcement,” she
continued. “I love the Constitution. And what happened yesterday, what
happened is something I never imagined I would experience in America.”

Bishop said she uses her website, AmericasMom.net, to educate and inform
parents and moms regarding their children’s education.

“And since then we’ve gotten involved in school board races. I love my
state. I’m a fourth generation Coloradan. Most recently I’ve been a very
vocal advocate of a candidate [Peters]… She’s had to fight for her own
life, and a guess now I’ll have to fight for mine.”

Bishop has been part of a group of parents that have been successful in
fighting the teaching of critical race theory and school mask mandates.

“Colorado was able to flip nine school boards this year. We were able to
get one of our leftists to resign and we also flipped our school board
in the election,” Bishop said. “And people like me are considered
domestic terrorists now, because we don’t stand for the policies that
have been forced upon our children.”

Howse said history will be kind to Bishop.

“I believe you will go down in history as the first mom targeted [by the
FBI]. The FBI has said it plans to do this and I believe you are the
first mom to have this done to you. Mask mandates, opposing critical
race theory, election theft, which Biden said if you question that you
are involved in subversion. But I believe you are the first mom to have
been targeted and had your door literally busted down while you were
homeschooling your kids.”

Bishop said she has always made a point of being transparent.

“I have always made myself available, I’ve never tried to hide from
anything and now for them to bash my door down, manhandle my daughter… I
think the timing is really interesting, because we don’t want people to
be silent because of what happened to me. If anything I want people to
be more vocal,… because this is still America and you still have the
right to stand up for yourself and your family.”

“I believe elections have consequences, and in this case this
illegitimate regime is having serious consequences for all of America.”

Howse asked if she ever thought she would be targeted in this way by her
own government.

“No I never thought in America that a suburban housewife and mom would
have her door bashed in by the FBI,” she said.

He asked about her three children.

“My kids are very resilient. And part of schooling them has been to
teach them the proper role of government and the proper role of law
enforcement and I can’t convince them now that the FBI are good guys.
And I really have my own doubts about that now. You cannot just say ‘I
followed orders’ to go bash someone’s door down. They are responsible
for what they are doing.”

Howse had just concluded a series of interviews with a panel of four
retired FBI agents just days before the raid in which they had described
similar raids against non-violent patriotic Americans over the last few
years, starting with Gen. Michael Flynn in 2016, followed by the pre-
dawn raid on author and Trump ally Roger Stone in 2019 and then the
violent entering of journalist James O’Keefe of Project Veritas just
last week.

“I was on the [FBI] SWAT team for several years,” said Brian Shepard,
appearing with three other retired FBI agents at a symposium aired by
WVW TV on Nov. 16. “And I can tell you from my experience, and I think
all others of the bureau agents here would echo what I’m going to say.
We never conducted a search or conducted an arrest of someone who was
not a violent offender. And the thought when I heard about what happened
with Roger Stone, just outraged me so much that, it just rose up inside
me.”

Now, an activist mom has been targeted, raising the question: Has the
FBI become the political shock troops for the White House, seeking to
harass and intimidate anyone who speaks out against its policies?

Howse said it was obvious that Shepard became emotional when he began
talking about how the bureau, he gave the better part of his life to
serve, had now taken to bashing down the doors of non-violent American
patriots.

“Brian’s reaction is very typical of men in that generation who served
in the FBI, and many of those men have responded the same way, because
they gave the best years of their lives to the agency, and upheld what
they believed were the values of the agency, bravery, integrity and
fidelity, and they become emotional when they saw how this has been
discarded. They are beside themselves. It happened to others and now it
happens to you, within days of our filming [of the panel].”

Bishop said the timing was not lost on her.

“I can’t explain it. I can’t explain being a target, for an agency that
typically takes down the cartel, human trafficking, and now I’ve had my
children traumatized and if this can happen to me, they’ll come for you
too.”

“I made myself completely transparent to them and yet they chose to
break down my door, terrorize my kids and try to intimidate me.”

She said the agents took her phone and other devices and kept her
handcuffed for at least 30 minutes.

“No, I never had any access to any voting machines. They know I am just
a voice, an advocate. We must have been effective. I know the people
here, they’re not going to back down, and we’re not going to stop. In
times past they never would have moved forward on this, but the
narrative in America right now is one that is pushing a progressive
narrative of communism. Now you can stay in your home and talk about it
privately but you dare not come out and talk about it publicly …or they
will send the FBI to your door because according to this regime you are
a domestic terrorist.

“We’ve got to stick together and we can’t let these thugs put us into
fear and intimidation.”

Howse said he was shocked by the news of Bishop’s experience.

“I could see them moving against someone like me, or Mike Lindell. It is
hard to see them coming after someone like you, to come after a mom, who
is working at the school board level and the election level, and to bust
your door down? This is totally unprecedented by the agency in how they
conducted themselves. So even for someone who has studied communism and
a color revolution, the way they are doing it and the pace at which
they’re doing it, I never anticipated it to move this fast.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. White people cannot be criminal. You've already
explained.


GRAND JUNCTION ­ A scrum of pushing and shoving demonstrators led
to an injury Monday morning as embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina
Peters and Sherronna Bishop, one of her top supporters, took to
the steps of the Mesa County courthouse to criticize those who
are refusing to back their claims of election fraud.

In a rambling speech read from notes and timed to the Mesa County
commissioners¹ regular Monday meeting inside the old courthouse,
Peters claimed that her concerns about election fraud have been
ignored by the commissioners and vindicated² by a report issued
weeks ago by a team working with national election-conspiracy
promoter My Pillow Guy CEO Mike Lindell.

Race is always implicated.

The headline is a lie. Her house was searched because she is a suspect in the
documented breach of election systems. She's a right-wingnut election fraudster.

Race is implicated because you think it's fine when cops break down the doors of
blacks and shoot them in bed, but you're outraged when they enter the houses of
white criminals.

Why do you demand suppression of BLM where they are not
associated with violence? Why are you apoplectic that white folk
were arrested for 6 January where there was violence. Your
outrage is race implicated.

Show where I have ever demanded the suppression of BLM and been
apoplectic when white folk were arrested.

In fact, should you research my comments in this group you will discover
that I have accused (rightly) BLM of violence, but not called for the
suppression of peaceful conduct, and I have stated that those involved
in the January 6 Capitol break in were and are idiots.

You call BLM "terrorists" (they aren't). Of *course* you want them suppressed.

You never *are* right. Of *course* you call for the suppression of BLM — you
call them "terrorists," and naturally you want terrorists to be suppressed.

Why do you tell such stupid lies?
