Republican candidate for Pennsylvania Governor and current Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano released a blistering statement on Saturday, condemning Biden’s FBI for an armed SWAT raid of a pro-life activist in front of his family, including seven young children.
“The continued weaponization of the FBI and persecution of Biden’s DOJ against ordinary Americans is an outrage,” the statement read.
“This morning, a heavily armed SWAT team of dozens of FBI agents raided the home of Mark Houck of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and terrified children inside over a case that was long thrown out by the District Court in Philadelphia. Mark and Ryan-Marie Houck’s seven children were traumatized and in tears as they witnessed their parents held at gunpoint and their father hauled away in handcuffs.
“Citizens across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania join me in expressing our outrage at this early-morning raid executed on a young family. This show of force carried out by the Biden regime against ordinary Americans is an abuse of power that stands against the fundamental principles on which our country was founded.
“As Governor, I will not allow the police state of Joe Biden to enforce his persecution against his political enemies on sacred Pennsylvania soil. Not on my watch.”
Approximately 30 agents, with weapons drawn, raided Mark Houck’s home and left his wife traumatized and his children screaming.
“They had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house. The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,” Ryan-Marie Houck said to LifeSiteNews.

A statement released on behalf of the Houck family read:
“There must have been 15 marked and unmarked units on my yard. As I opened the door with my hands raised, all I could see was two AR15s pointed directly at me,” Mr. Houck said. “All my children were asleep when the sirens were lit up and the doorbell rung multiple times with yelling and pounding on the the door at 7 AM. My children were terrified, traumatized and victimized,”
The statement continued: “My family and I are very grateful for all the support both financially and emotionally as we begin to process the next steps in this journey. It’s going to be a long legal battle and a heavy cross to bear but God’s grace is sufficient and we will get through this,” Houck said. The family is looking into therapeutic recovery options for their traumatized children.
Houck, the founder of an organization called The King’s Men, is being charged by Biden’s DOJ by Indictment “with a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate, and interfere with anyone because that person is a provider of reproductive health care.”
The charge is related to an incident in October 2021. As Houck was counseling outside of a Planned Parenthood office, a pro-abortion protester uttered threats at him and threatened his son. Houck responded by pushing the man away from his son. He was never charged by police and the pro-abortion protester failed in an attempt to sue Houck.
Despite the minor nature of the incident and the lack of charges by local authorities, Houck faces 11 years in prison.
Conservatives spoke out on social media on Saturday to point to the increased politicization and weaponization of Biden’s Department of Justice.
A GiveSendGo campaign has been launch to help support Houck’s young family.

the gestapo raids in the middle of the night.
Just think, that socialist administration of Biden’s will soon have another 87k more armed federal agents to try and control everything we do and say. I keep saying if we don’t purge every left wing democrat from our government they will destroy our constitutional republic and replace it with their version of a socialist government, with them in power of course. These next two election cycles may well be the last chance we have to get them out of our government.
Just imagine how loud the calls would be, to DEFUND THE FBI, had trump done this RE HILLARY…
Thats next this gestapo raid was at 7 in the morning.
No American citizen should consider the FBI Fascist Bolsheviks of Incompetence a law enforcement agency. They have joined the ranks of the KKK, BLM, Antifa, and ACLU as actual domestic terrorist organizations.
What goes around comes around, ,,,as you call into the valley so the echo returns. Joe proves that he and his are the geatest threat to American democracy. Attacks on political opponenets is right out of Stalin’s and Adolph’s playbook.
YET its WE conservatives who continually get called nazis.
THEY love following the mantra of CALL OTHERS what you are guilty of.
This treasonous, unethical, destructive, woke, socialist Democrat Party’s political police force the FBI and IRS gestapo is just getting started.
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers, Gestapo, Woke and Cancel Culture are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the policies of the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as “Enemies of the State” and “Domestic Terrorists”.
Either We the People destroy this treasonous, destructive, socialist Democrat Party OR this treasonous, destructive, socialist Democrat Party will destroy our U.S.A..
Remember Ruby Ridge? Mrs. Weaver killed by feds while holding 3 month old baby. They said she was armed. FB-lie
Remember Waco? FB-lie burned up 89 or so elementary school aged kids. No charges. And all to serve a weapons sale without a license warrant.
Remember Trump collusion scam. Your FB-lie
Remember Trump raid. Trumped up charges for doing what all presidents have done.
I remember them all.
Now the FB-lie says No SWAT presence. Just 40 heavily armed agents terrorizing this man for being too close to the abortion clinic, A charge long since dropped. i.e. nothing but domestic terrorism on the conservative majority by your FB-lie.
I can not imagine them surviving the next duly elected conservative president. And I will find it hard to vote or contribute to any conservative candidate who does not promise to treat the agents and their management the way the police were treated in the George Floyd matter.
Now we have liberals openly killing conservatives and walking away with a $5,000 payment on a walk away bond, And in North Dakota too where you would think it could never happen.
What’s going on? I didn’t spend 75 years on the planet and 2 in Viet Nam to see this happen. It is disheartening at best.
82 people died in waco and seven escaped the fire. they had an agent enter the compound from a lower roof deck after dropping him off on the roof deck from an APC. the agent entered the compound looking for david Khoresh. He found him wearing a gas mask with two other men also wearing gas masks. Khoresh identified himself, and the agent verified his identity by having him remove his mask. The agent then put a bullet in each of their foreheads. He exited the building through the window he had entered, and dropped three incendiary grenades in three widows he could reach from on top of the roof. the agent did it all on live TV
HENCE WHy if we DO win back control, WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THE FBI.. They are just too Damaged, to ever think of ‘saving’.
When I see how the Democrat Crime Cartel has turned the D.O.J., particularly the Office of the Attorney General and the F.B.I. into their personal Goon Squads two things come to mind. First back in the late 1980’s I found a series of books written by Wm. W. Johnstone the Ashes Series. The actions by the Democrats and their minions in the D.O.J. remind me of the first two books of the series where a demented President and tyrannical members of Congress took control of the government and turned Federal Law Enforcement on the citizens. Second the television mini-series “Sons of Liberty” where the Crown used the British Military to enforce their tyrannical edicts over the Colonies. Right now the Biden Tyranny is treating citizens who oppose it’s insane agenda worse than the Crown treated the Colonists. Read at least the first two books of Johnstone’s Ashes series and watch “The Sons of Liberty”. The parallels are astounding. The Democrats have taken the Communist Manifesto and Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals as their play books and are running with them. In both the tyrannical radical is instructed to accuse their opponents of those things, they themselves are guilty of. The Republicans should stall the 2023 Budget and refuse all Continuing Resolutions until they get control of Congress in 2023. Then they should completely defund the F.B.I. and the Attorney General’s Office.
More and more every day it feels like we are living in a 3rd world country! The FBI and the entire DOJ is beginning to appear very gestapo-ish. If the case was dropped almost a year ago, the whole issue should have been moot! When will someone stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH??
Appearing to be? IMO THEY ARE already full blown with their antics.
The 2nd Amendment was written for a tyrannical government like the one we have now under Biden.
Yeah! Welcome to 1984, we have not one person in charge but several and those that are in charge have gone full tyrannical dictatorship on the country, one person in the house even said that the police state we are in will not be lifted till everyone does what the bydeb says. Yeah we are in a police state all thanks to the swamp monster byden, things are going to go down much further before things even start to turn around. The byden is using the fbi as his personal police force and he has them going after all those that even dare to speak out against him for any reason. Hope a meteorite lands on the w/h while the byden is there and smashes the place to the ground, an act of GOD if you will.
This has got to stop! biden is ruining our country and I am sick and tired of that tyrant and his minions.
It’s time to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
You won’t see them raiding pro-abortion activists homes.
BECAUSE pro abortion IS ONE OF THEIR AGENDAS..
Actions speak louder than words. This proves what Trump said happened at his home.
Simple: It’s time….
ITs certainly time for something. THat’s why i keep laughing, every time i see a conservative commentator, say “The left is bonkers if they think there will be another civil war”…
Feels like a remake of an old 1940s spy movie in Nazi Germany….
Watch out if the FBI teams start wearing monocles….
