Woman Arrested Near WH With Loaded Gun in Car and Letter for Biden

A woman was arrested near the White House after reportedly telling cops she had a special delivery for President Biden -- a handwritten letter ... but much more ominous is that she had a loaded gun in her car.

The unidentified 66-year-old rolled toward a checkpoint in downtown D.C. Saturday evening ... close to the White House, which has a wide perimeter set for blocks on end. She was apparently with a man, and told cops they were there to meet Biden.

As for why ... cops say she told them she wanted to give him a letter. That prompted a search of the vehicle, where D.C. Metro says they discovered a loaded handgun. They claim the man she was with also had a BB gun -- but the woman was the only one arrested.

She was booked for possession of an unregistered firearm. The case has since been referred to the Secret Service.

The situation is eerily familiar ... there was another arrest like this back in January, when a Virginia man also drove up to a checkpoint, allegedly with fake inauguration credentials and a loaded firearm as well ... plus a ton of ammo, according to cops.

The better question is was the acquittal interpreted by them as carte blanche.

...when they're this stupid!
She just drove up toward one of the most protected residences on earth with a loaded gun, and figured it would all work?
Monumentally stupid.

I hate seeing DC so fortified, militarized. But until we get a handle on the craziness, it is what it is.

Thanks McConnell, and the other 42 party over Country voters.

These Senators will have more blood on their hands because these wackos will start organizing violence. I really hope the DOJ acts quickly to put everyone of these insurrectionists behind bars...they could get those officials named in the Huffpost article. That would be great examples for areas throughout the Country to know, this was criminal and prison time will be part of the punishment.
