19-Year-Old Crashes into White House Barrier to “seize power” and “Kill” Biden

Sai Varshith Kandula, of Indian-origin, was arrested after threatening to seize power and kill, kidnap, or inflict harm on President Joe Biden. 

He allegedly rammed a U-Haul truck with the bollards outside a park near the White House. The incident occurred on May 22. And the charges against Kandula also include assault with a dangerous weapon, destroying property of the United States exceeding $1,000, and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.

In a shocking incident, a 19-year-old from Missouri intentionally crashed a rented box truck into a barrier outside the White House. He confessed to authorities that he admires Nazis and harbored a desire to "seize power" and "kill" President Joe Biden. 

The disturbing details emerged from court documents released on Tuesday.

The suspect reportedly flew from St. Louis to Dulles International Airport on a one-way ticket. And rented a U-Haul truck on Monday night. 

 

Attempt to seize power

The accompanying statement in the complaint outlined the events of the incident.

At approximately 9:35 P.M., Kandula drove the rented vehicle onto a sidewalk adjacent to the White House and deliberately collided with a metal barrier located north of the presidential residence. Undeterred, he reversed the truck and crashed into the barrier once again before being apprehended by vigilant U.S. Park Police officers.

During questioning, officials discovered a disturbing connection to Nazism when they inquired about a swastika flag that Kandula had removed from his backpack. 

He admitted to purchasing it online, stating his admiration for Nazis and their "great history." The court document further revealed that Kandula expressed his respect for their authoritarian nature, eugenics practices, and desire for a one-world order.

Even more unsettling was his declared goal of entering the White House to "seize power" and assume control of the nation.

 When questioned about his plans, Kandula chillingly stated that he would not hesitate to "kill the President if that's what I have to do" and expressed a willingness to harm anyone who stood in his way.

The Secret Service and U.S. Park Police swiftly apprehended the suspect, preventing any harm to the President or others nearby.

“There were no injuries to any Secret Service or White House personnel and the cause and manner of the crash remain under investigation," Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service chief of communications, said in a statement.
