A Washington, D.C.-based protest organization called For Liberation And Resistance Everywhere — FLARE — is the subject of a first-person report published by The Gateway Pundit, in which reporter Myles Morell describes visiting the group’s encampment near the Capitol and speaking with a person stationed there about a sign displayed at the tent.
According to the account, one side of the sign read “party at FLARE when he’s dead,” while the other side carried a graphic accusation against President Trump. Morell reported that he asked the individual whether FLARE genuinely intended to celebrate if the President were to pass away, and was told “eventually, when he’s out.” Asked whether such a celebration would happen at the FLARE tent, the individual replied, “Yeah, why not? Whenever he’s gone, so yeah.”
The quotations come from a single unnamed person at the encampment, as described by the reporter. No independent confirmation of the sign’s text or the group’s plans was included in the report, and FLARE itself did not issue a statement in the piece.
An impeachment push aimed at the midterms
According to the report, FLARE’s stated objective is to pressure Congress to remove President Trump from office. The individual at the tent told Morell the group is “pushing Congress to impeach him before the midterms,” and raised doubts about the electoral process, saying “if we could hold on till the midterms, if they don’t f**k with the votes. If the FBI isn’t seizing ballot boxes.”
The Gateway Pundit describes FLARE as lobbying on Capitol Hill once a week, visiting congressional offices to urge members and staffers to support impeachment. The group also reportedly stages weekly protests outside the Heritage Foundation and the ICE headquarters in Washington, where, per the report, security barriers and speakers playing music have been used to counter the demonstrations.
Morell writes that he previously covered FLARE’s lobbying activity in partnership with Lester Tellez, who publishes under the name “On Point Politics” and focuses on elections and polling.
Permit dispute and a removed encampment
The report says the individual at the tent claimed the National Park Service and the Department of Justice have been trying to revoke FLARE’s permit to keep the sign at its encampment. Earlier FLARE encampments were removed late last year, then restored, and removed again — a sequence the outlet links to Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, though the piece offers no detail on his alleged role.
As for the reason behind the removals, the individual told Morell that a FLARE member had been accused of assaulting a police officer, and that the federal government cited that allegation in clearing the previous encampment and in its current effort to remove the present one. The individual called the accusation “totally made up” and said the officer was the one who pushed the protester. That account, like the others, is attributed to the person at the tent and was not independently verified in the report.
The article states that the group’s original tents at Columbus Circle near Union Station were taken down by law enforcement while the area was under renovation, and that the encampment now sits near the Capitol and the Department of Labor — the location where Morell says he observed the sign.
Prior confrontations cited
The Gateway Pundit’s report ties FLARE to other contentious episodes, including a February protest at which Morell says demonstrators chanted an obscene phrase about the late Charlie Kirk. The piece also references left-wing celebrations of Kirk’s death, framing the sign at the encampment as carrying a comparable message, and argues the group has built a reputation for harassing ideological opponents at protests.
The outlet describes FLARE as having been founded last year in response to President Trump taking office and as having been active in the capital since then. It closes by asking whether such tactics serve the broader messaging of the left — a question the piece poses rather than answers.
The reporting is presented as an exclusive, first-person account, with the central claims resting on the reporter’s observations and on statements from one individual at the encampment. Readers evaluating the story should note that the sign’s wording, the group’s intentions, and the permit dispute are all described through that single source and the outlet’s own framing, without corroboration from FLARE, federal agencies, or independent journalists.
